Prime Video’s Rom-Com Version of the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy Releases This Fall



[

Prime Video started the year hot with a few new releases, particularly the highly anticipated second season of Fallout, which arrived back at the end of 2025 but continued well into 2026. Following closely behind the critically acclaimed sci-fi show was a pair of superhero series, Invincible and The Boys, and while the latter will be back for another batch of episodes next year, the former has gone off the air for good. Prime Video is also the home of some of the biggest straight-to-streaming movies this year, and the streamer has been testing the waters this year in various genres. Prime Video’s swashbuckling epic, The Bluff, was a massive hit despite lukewarm reviews, and the same can be said for The Wrecking Crew, the original crime thriller starring Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa that smashed to the top of streaming charts.

Prime Video is the second-biggest streaming service in the world by subscriber number, and it maintains this status by continuously evolving to please fans of all genres. One of the more intriguing projects that’s been in development for the streamer is The Love Hypothesis, which was first teased back at the end of April as part of a larger initiative from Prime Video to focus on more YA-forward content. Claire Scanlon directed the film with a script from Sarah RothschildLili Reinhart also stars alongside Nicholas Duvernay and Arty Froushan.

The Love Hypothesis is based on the popular Star Wars fan-fiction novel of the same name that was written by Ali Hazelwood, which is a love story between Kylo Ren (played by Adam Driver) and Rey (played by Daisy Ridley). Daisy Ridley’s husband, Tom Bateman, has even been tapped to play the lead role of Adam in the project, who is directly inspired by Kylo Ren. This afternoon, Prime Video finally confirmed that The Love Hypothesis will begin streaming on September 23. An official trailer is expected in the coming weeks.





















































Collider Exclusive · Star Wars Quiz
Which Force User
Are You?

Light Side · Dark Side · Or Somewhere Between

The Force is not a binary. It is a spectrum — from the serene halls of the Jedi Temple to the shadowed corridors of Sith space. Ten questions will reveal where you truly fall. The Force has always known. Now you will too.

🔵Jedi Master

🟡Padawan

🔴Sith Lord

Inquisitor

Grey Jedi

01

What is the Force to you?
Your relationship with the Force defines everything else.




02

When you feel strong emotions — anger, grief, love — what do you do?
The Jedi suppress. The Sith feed. Others choose differently.




03

The Jedi Council gives you an order you disagree with. You:
How you handle authority reveals your alignment.




04

You are offered forbidden knowledge that could give you enormous power. The cost is crossing a moral line. You:
The dark side’s pull is never more than a choice away.




05

Your approach to training and learning is:
A student’s habits become a master’s character.




06

In a duel, your lightsaber fighting style reflects:
Combat is the purest expression of a Force user’s philosophy.




07

A defeated enemy lies at your feet, powerless. You:
Mercy — or its absence — is the truest test of alignment.




08

The Jedi Code forbids attachment. Your honest view on love and bonds:
The source of the greatest falls in the galaxy.




09

Why do you use the Force at all? What’s the point?
Purpose is the difference between a knight and a weapon.




10

At the final moment — light side or dark side pulling at you — what wins?
In the end, every Force user faces this moment. What does yours look like?




Your Alignment Has Been Determined
Your Place in the Force

The scores below reveal how the Force sees you. Your highest number is your true alignment. Read on to understand what that means — and what it will cost you.

🔵
Jedi Master

🟡
Padawan

🔴
Sith Lord


Inquisitor


Grey Jedi

Disciplined, compassionate, and deeply attuned to the living Force, you have walked the path long enough to understand its demands — and accept them. You lead not through authority alone, but through example. You have felt the pull of the dark side and chosen otherwise, every time. That is not certainty. That is courage.

You are earnest, powerful, and brimming with potential — and you know it, which is both your greatest asset and your most dangerous flaw. You act before you think, trust your gut over your training, and sometimes confuse impatience for bravery. The Masters see something in you, though. The question isn’t whether you have what it takes — it’s whether you’ll be patient enough to find out.

You are not simply dangerous — you are certain, and that is worse. You have decided what the galaxy needs, and you have decided you are the one to deliver it. Your power is genuine and formidable, earned through sacrifice that would have broken lesser beings. But examine your victories carefully. Every Sith believed their cause was righteous. The dark side’s cruelest trick is that it agrees with you.

You were forged in fire and reshaped by those who found you at your lowest. You serve, because service gave you structure when you had none. Your allegiance is not to an ideology — it is to survival and to the master who gave you purpose. But there is something buried beneath the conditioning. The Jedi you hunt? You recognize them. Because you remember what it felt like before the choice was taken from you.

You have looked at the Jedi Code and the Sith Code and found both of them incomplete. You walk the line not out of indecision but out of conviction — you genuinely believe both extremes miss something essential. The Jedi don’t fully trust you. The Sith think you’re wasting your potential. They’re both partially right. But so are you.

Is Daisy Ridley’s Star Wars Movie Still Coming Out?

At the time of writing in June 2026, it’s unclear if Daisy Ridley’s Star Wars movie about the New Jedi Order will ever overcome its development hurdles and make it to the big screen. Both Ridley and director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy have confirmed that the film is still in active development, but it’s been years since it was announced and there seem to be no concrete plans to begin filming. Only time will tell if the New Jedi Order movie will suffer the same fate as The Hunt for Ben Solo, which was set to return Adam Driver to his role as Kylo Ren.

Check out The Love Hypothesis on Prime Video starting September 23 and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of the project.
