Here’s When We’ll GetStar Wars: Episodes VIIIAndIX

Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed in a earphone call to shareowner that we ’ll be sire Star Wars : Episode VIII in December of 2017 , trace by Episode IX in December of 2019 . Only two long time between each movie ? That ’s more quickly than George Lucas made either the original trilogy or the prequels . Hmm …

While he did n’t cite it specifically , I ’d depend money that we ’ll be getting the 2d Star Wars spin - off in December 2018 , much like we ’ll get the first tie-up - alone Star Wars movie from music director Gareth Edwards in - between Episodes VII and VIII in 2016 . So that ’s very much a newfangled Star Wars movie every yr , for the rest of the decade at least — barring something ruinous , I approximate .

So what do you think ? Is two years too little to make a good Star Wars moving-picture show ? Is this too much Star Wars , full point ? I have to allow in I think the insane fanboy in me is more activated about this than worried , but that could manifestly change after we finally get to see The Force Awakens .
