Star Wars Episode VII :
Now that this sequel is officially derive in 2015 , it ’s style past time for the rumour mill to zigzag into activeness . First off : Ain’t It Cool Newspasses along rumour / surmise that director Brad Bird and writer Damon Lindelof are actually hard at body of work on the Star Wars sequel – we already recognise that Bird and Lindelof were put to work on a mystery “ tentpole ” labor called 1952 , which was vaguely compare to closelipped Encounters of the Third Kind – but what if that project is actually Star Wars Episode VII , and they ’ve been working on it for a while already ? That would be pretty cunning , correct ?
Separately , what if or else of episodes 7 - 9 , it ’s really episodes 7 - 12 ? That ’s right , two new trilogy . At least , Dale Pollock , who write a 1984 biography of George Lucas called Skywalking : The Life And Films Of George Lucas , recalls that Lucas had planned for Star Wars to have 12 installments in all , of which 7 - 9 would be the most exciting . Pollocktells The Wrap , “ The three most exciting stories were 7 , 8 and 9 . They had propulsive action , really interesting unexampled worlds , unexampled characters . I think of thinking , ‘ I want to see these 3 movies . ' ” And those films were theorise to call for Luke in his 30s and 40s , played by a different actor than Mark Hamill , whom Lucas was not impressed by .
gratuitous to say , it ’s likely that whatever melodic theme Lucas had in 1984 , they ’re long since scrapped and probably have petty to do with the handling he just sold Disney . [ The Wrap ]
