Star Wars: New Jedi Order isn't called Star Wars: Episode X despite bringing back Rey and following up the story of Rise of Skywalker - here's why.
Lucasfilm's new Star Wars movie, Star Wars: New Jedi Order, is effectively Star Wars: Episode 10 in all but name, and it makes sense for Rey's film to not continue the Skywalker saga despite being a Skywalker herself. The post-sequel trilogy era remained murky for several years following Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker's release. Now it's all finally coming together as the Star Wars studio took a few steps back and evaluated exactly where they wanted to take the franchise next.
Rey Skywalker's New Jedi Order Is Episode 10 In All But Name With Daisy Ridley as Rey Skywalker in a new movie and following up her story with her building a new Jedi Order, Star Wars: New Jedi Order is Star Wars: Episode X for all intents and purposes; however, because it's not an ensemble with other returning characters or spanning the galaxy with a new Jedi vs Sith conflict, it's not officially Episode X and therefore not another installment in the Skywalker saga.
Not Calling New Jedi Order "Episode X" Makes Sense After The Sequel Trilogy Strangely, while it may seem illogical for Star Wars: New Jedi Order not to be called Star Wars: Episode X, it makes sense thematically and for branding purposes. Star Wars as a brand is everything; a movie like Solo: A Star Wars Story can technically "fail" by Lucasfilm and Disney's numbers but still perform far better than its competitors because it's tied to the Star Wars franchise.
Will New Jedi Order Become A New Star Wars Trilogy? Lucasfilm, and particularly Disney, would be remiss if they didn't use this opportunity to launch a new Star Wars trilogy. There were plans for Rian Johnson to do a Star Wars trilogy of his own years ago, but nothing's come of it yet. Star Wars has always been built around trilogies, with one-off movies and stories here and there. The post-Rise of Skywalker era is unexplored, unknown, and full of potential.
