The light rises. But so does the question: who deserves to wield it?
Star Wars Episode X: New Jedi Order (2025) ignites a bold new trilogy that carries the legendary saga forward into uncharted territory. Set fifteen years after the fall of the Final Order in The Rise of Skywalker, the galaxy is rebuilding—but in the vacuum of power, shadows are stirring. Peace is fragile. Legends are fading. And the Jedi must rise again—or vanish forever.
At the heart of the story stands Rey Skywalker, now a seasoned warrior and reluctant leader tasked with rebuilding the Jedi Order from the ruins of the past. Haunted by her lineage and the weight of expectations, Rey journeys to the far edges of the galaxy to seek out Force-sensitive beings—many of them disillusioned, dangerous, or hiding their powers in fear. The Jedi texts she carries offer wisdom, but no clear path. The Force is shifting, and something ancient is awakening.
Across the galaxy, an emerging faction known as the Shroud Collective rises—not Sith, not Jedi, but a third way: harnessing the Force without allegiance to light or dark. Charismatic, pragmatic, and terrifyingly efficient, they promise balance—but their vision includes the end of the Jedi, once and for all. Their leader, Vrax Kel, a former Jedi Temple apprentice who disappeared during the Clone Wars, returns with a philosophy shaped by exile, loss, and vengeance.
Meanwhile, Finn, now a Jedi-in-training under Rey, struggles with doubt, leadership, and a mysterious connection to an ancient Force echo tied to the original Jedi temples. As tensions escalate, the New Republic debates whether the Jedi are peacekeepers… or provocateurs.
Directed by a visionary blend of old-school Star Wars grit and contemporary cinematic scale, Episode X reintroduces lightsaber duels with intensity and elegance, space battles with weight and strategy, and a galaxy that feels vast, wild, and deeply alive. But more than anything, it asks the hardest question of all:
What does it truly mean to be a Jedi now?
