As expected… the movie is now being reported as “shelved”

The latest Star Wars story to hit the pause button is Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s Star Wars film, which will include the much-anticipated return of Daisy Ridley’s Rey. The movie was first announced at Star Wars Celebration in 2023 and has since stopped and started through the development process.
The latest update on the Rey movie comes from entertainment insider Daniel Richtman, who reported on his Patreon that the Rey movie is “on hold once again.” Richtman reiterated that “the project is not canceled” but is “temporarily on hold.”
Is Daniel Richtman the only person claiming this? I’m more inclined to believe his ‘trailer news’ - which for me has been significantly more accurate than than his ‘movie news’ over the years.
Not saying this latest claim is wrong (it is what many of us thought possible given the number of stalled/cancelled projects we know of in recent times)… but probably worth checking sources (multiple unconnected sources is always better, or from the usual trade publications etc)… before taking a single source with a mixed track record.
Edit: Jeff Sneider, for me is someone who is a little more on the money - especially re Star Wars in recent times, says the movie is not on hold… and also explains why… at 50m 35s into this 2hour interview video from John Rocha: www.youtube.com/live/jWL-EvjUeu4
Again, check the sources… and see if there are more unconnected reports leaning into this take on the film not being on hold.
