Talks and rumors about the hotly anticipated “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” follow-up “Star Wars: Episode 8” have commenced.

In conversation with ET at the BAFTA Awards Season Tea Party, Star Wars: Episode IX director, Colin Trevorrow promised that the answers are worth waiting for. “George Lucas as director of Episode IX would be the ideal way to end this new trilogy and make an epic farewell between the Father of Star Wars and the whole universe of the galaxy far, far away”.
Seeing as we know next to nothing about next year’s Episode VIII, Trevorrow is surprisingly open about what’s being planned for Episode IX, which doesn’t hit theaters until 2019. “In that regard for sure, but I’m also relieved to have gotten a chance to do a Star Wars movie”. When asked what he knew about Rey’s identity, Abrams simply responded, “I know quite a bit”.
Little is known about Johnson’s film, which the Looper director is also writing.
If Maz had used the Force or something like it, as Corbould describes, that would leave the audience with a couple of extra questions about a film that already leaves us with some pretty big questions to chew on. What I do know is that we’re going to make sure that that answer is deeply and profoundly satisfying because Rey is a character that is important in this universe. We aren’t 100 percent sure yet, but very distinctive face tattoos can be seen under the man’s hood. Does that suggest a reason – some kind of Jedi connection – why she ended up with Luke’s lightsaber in her basement?
“I wanted to take her so bad to see “Star Wars, ‘” Oswalt said”. Under the guidance of several veterans from the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series, Star Wars Rebels has proven to be one of the best animated shows on television while successfully recapturing the tone of the original trilogy.
