'Peaky Blinders' creator Steven Knight quits new Daisy Ridley 'Star Wars' film

Peaky Blinders writer Steven Knight has reportedly departed the upcoming Star Wars film that is set to revolve around Daisy Ridley’s Rey.

Variety reports that the film is intended to pick up the story after the events of Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker(2019), and will follow Rey’s efforts to open her own Jedi Academy. There is not a Star Wars film set for release until Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian and Grogu in May 2026, which, if it arrives on time, will bring to an end a seven-year gap. Several others are thought to be in development, including from directors Taika Waititi, Donald Glover, Patty Jenkins, Rian Johnson and James Mangold.
