Disney has announced that they will be releasing a new STAR WARS movie every single year starting with EPISODE VII in 2015!
The movies will be spin-offs which likely tell the back story of some of the franchise’s most beloved characters such as Yoda and Han Solo as well as key storylines. Lawrence Kasdan, who penned the screenplays for both RETURN OF THE JEDI and EMPIRE STRIKES BACK has already been hired to write the spin-offs along with Simon Kinberg who wrote X-MEN: THE LAST STAND.
This succession of movies will kick off with the much talked about EPISODE VII which will be directed by J. J. Abrams. Abrams has already successfully rebooted the STAR TREK franchise with the sequel, STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS, due out later this year. Abrams will also be co-writing the script for the new STAR WARS along with Michael Arndt.
Though we love STAR WARS, we’re not sure if everyone will want to see a new STAR WARS movie ever single year! What do you think, Mag fans?
