There has been lots of speculation about the new Star Wars film since it was announced in late 2012. Read our story on the news here.
While details are still sketchy, we do have two pieces of news to share.
Disney has found its director for Star Wars Episode VII, and it’s none other than sci-fi supergeek J.J. Abrams. You may know the director from Star Trek, Super 8, Mission Impossible III and the upcoming Star Trek Into Darkness. His visual style and sci-fi expertise should make for an interesting take on the famous franchise. But we will have to wait a while. The next installment isn’t due in theaters until 2015.
Disney also unveiled a cool, updated logo for Star Wars. That’s it up top, and we approve.
We’ll be back with more as soon as we learn anything.
cool it is!
That looks better! 🙂 but why doesn’t the next movie come sooner? How long does it take to make 1 Movie?
Good question, Awesome Spy.
Some movies can be filmed in a matter of months. But some take years to make, especially if they rely on visual effects. Star Wars Episode VII will undoubtedly feature loads of visual effects, so this one will take quite a while to make.
This will be highly watched movie so it probably will take a while to make.
the first six are epic. this one is gonna stink.
I think I see two lightsabers and the Death Star.
It’s kinda of like they torture us by telling us that an awesome movie that we all want to see is going to come out in 2 years from now but then again that is an awesome marketing strategy.
I wish J. J. Abrams wasn’t directing.
did you know Disney is supposedly going to turn princess Lea into a a disney princess. Boyslife do you know if it is true?
Hey Black Cougar,
Great question. At this point, that is just a rumor. But you’re right that Disney owns the character of Princess Leia. So, technically they could make her a Disney princess. Although, I doubt it will happen.
if they did then they destroy the awesomeness of the last three star wars
what do you mean boys life?
What do mean, what do I mean?
I’m a HUMONGUSGINORMUS star wars geek,I’f this is good,i’ll know.I’f they DO turn princess leia into a Disney princess,at least there will be a COOL Disney princess………I REALLY hope this is a good movie…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
AWESOME!!!!!! I can’t wait to see this one!
They might do something with princess leia, because she can use the force, too, stated by yoda and darth vader in episode 6. Also they have released the actors, saying that princess leia will have a daughter, that is all we know for certain, and the actors… Billy Dee Williams is not in it. 🙁
