Big news.
Straight off
Godzilla's giant opening weekend, Gareth Edwards (
Godzilla's director) is officially set to direct one of the Star Wars spinoffs, giving us the first concrete news on the non-saga movies...
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/star-wars-spinoff-hires-godzilla-706636Still no word on which one it'll be, but rumors persist that the current options are either a Boba Fett prequel, a Han Solo prequel, a Yoda prequel (which may have been scrapped), or a Red Five movie. Whatever it is, expect it to hit theaters either summer or Christmas 2016. At least that's the plan as of now, but they'd need to settle on a script fairly soon, and be in pre-production ASAP to meet either one of those dates. But it's definitely possible, and that's what Disney is aiming for.
How crazy would it be if Episode VII hits December 2015, and then this movie follows six months after?
