After the news that George Nolfi would be the new writer on Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy's New Jedi Order film, it's only fitting that outlets want to get whatever details they can about the upcoming film starring Daisy Ridley as Rey Skywalker. Film Stories did just that, asking the writer about how he approached the new position while speaking to him about his new movie Elevation.

Nolfi, who has written for the Jason Bourne films as well as the heist movie Ocean's 12, has a love for politics and studied that and philosophy in the past. It's part of what pulled him towards George Lucas' work, which, remember folks, is well documented to always be political. George Lucas has stated that these are "themes that run all the way through Star Wars," with America being the Empire for the original trilogy and him being against George Bush-era policies during the prequel trilogies.
