Because zero says fun like Force Lightning.

It’s been 8 years given a recover of Revenge of a Sith, a prolonged time to go but examination someone Force Lightening someone into a crisp. This isn’t as prolonged as a sixteen-year wait between Return of a Jedi and The Phantom Menace. Now it seems that fans of a Star Wars star won’t have to wait scarcely as prolonged between movies. According to ComingSoon, Star Wars fans—who have resisted a moniker Star Warriors—will be removing one new film any year, starting in 2015.

ComingSoon reports,

Walt Disney Walt Disney Pictures and Lucasfilm announced currently during CinemaCon in Las Vegas that Star Wars: Episode VII will strike theaters in a summer of 2015 and that each summer after that will offer a “Star Wars” film, swapping with one of a standalone films.

In other words, Episode VII should atmosphere summer 2015 and Episode VIII will atmosphere 2017. In 2016 and 2018 we’ll be grabbing a bucket of popcorn and examination non-trilogy Star Wars movies.

The Twitterati are already endangered that there will be a Star Wars overload, that a cinema will be “force marched” out as quick as Disney can make them. After all, Disney isn’t typically famous for pumping out entries in a authorization this fast (Pirates of a Caribbean notwithstanding). Actually, we think this is a pierce to get a many out of Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and generally Harrison Ford, while they can. (Personally, I’m anticipating for some-more Billy Dee Williams.)

But we opposite that this is sparkling news. As we’ve famous to since February, Lawrence Kasdan, who wrote The Empire Empire Strikes Back, is on house for a stand-alone films and is consulting on a final trilogy.

How many cinema will we eventually be getting? Always in suit is a future. But it’s expected that Disney will wish a lapse on a investment: The House of Mouse paid $4 billion for George Lucas’ property.

The 7 Star Wars cinema (both trilogies, and The Clone Wars) have warranted roughly $4.5 billion internationally—not practiced for inflation. But this figure does not embody a sales of merchandise, that Lucas also sole to Disney as partial of a deal. Merchandise sales, that Lucas famously defended in his understanding with 20^th Century Fox for a prolongation of a strange Star Wars movie, were what gave Lucas a financial autonomy he indispensable to financial The Empire Strikes Back and all successive cinema himself.
