Star Wars: The Announcements Strike Back!
Today it was announced that the first Star Wars stand-alone movie will be called Rogue One and will be released on December 16, 2016. It will be directed by Gareth Edwards (Godzilla, Monsters) and has Felicity Jones (The Theory of Everything, Amazing Spider-Man 2) set for the lead role. No word on the story or if any existing characters will be involved. Though one could speculate it could involve Rogue Squadron! Right?
Also announced is that Rian Johnson (Looper, Brick) is confirmed to write and direct Star Wars Episode VIII. Up until now Disney and Lucasfilm haven't confirmed such, but the news had leaked out months ago. Episode VIII is scheduled to be released on May 26, 2017. Johnson is rumored to be writing a treatment for Episode IX, and possibly direct as well. But no confirmation on that yet.
