Star Wars Film Jedi Prime Announced – It Was Originally a Video Game May 17, 2024

Hollywood has recently been set abuzz that director James Mangold (Logan) may be working on a new Star Wars Film project referred to as Jedi Prime. The plot of the film revolves around the first person in the Star Wars universe to discover The Force, becoming the very first Jedi. Shortly after their discovery, another being discovers their own connection to The Force, becoming the very first Sith.

We have a very long memory here at GameXcess.net, and Jedi Prime rang several bells in that memory. It turns out, that was one of the concepts pitched in some of the final years of LucasArts, Lucasfilm Limited’s video game developer/publishing house.

According to the historical record, the Jedi Prime concept was passed on by LucasArts and The Force Unleashed would eventually be released to massive fanfare. However, the concept of the first Jedi fighting the first Sith has a lot of promise, and we think it could make for a great film. Here’s to hoping it will get a wide release!
