Rogue 1

So, the first spinoff movie title has been officially announced! Felicity Jones also confirmed to star. Looks like we're getting a Rebel Pilot movie! Exciting times 8)

Also, Ep 8 is coming out 26th May 2017 instead of Christmas

Good info and do you know if JJ is set to direct ep 8?

Ian

Nope, it's Rian Johnson.

Rian Johnson of last summers Godzilla......

Gotta be a May release for a Star Wars movie. My birthday is 25th May so I know how I'll be celebrating that weekend.

The prophecy was true.

We DID inherit the Earth.

Great info, thanks.

Also 16 December 2017 release for Rogue 1, Disney own the next two Christmases. :lol:

Rian Johnson is the guy from "Brick" and "Looper". He´ll write and direct Ep VIII, and write Ep IX so far.

Gareth Edwards is the guy behind "Godzilla" and "Monsters", and the director of the next year´s "Rogue One".

Also, already confirmed Josh Trank ("Chronicles" and the upcoming "Fantastic Four") for the second standalone.

No news yet of the director for the third one... please let it be Edgard Wright, please let it be Edgard Wright, please let it be Edgard Wright...

My bad, I knew Godzilla had something to do with it.

Loving the title!

These are good times to be a SW fan!

Take my money, take it all.

Its gonna be better than Empire Strikes Back.

This is beyond my wildest childhood dreams.

Won't becoming an adult for at least another 10 years.

I can't believe all the good stuff in the pipeline, feel like a kid again!

Awesome.

Total nerdgasm!

Awesome, its all awesome. Except me choosing a LXW focus, the prices will go even more apeshit now, #balls.

Agree with the happy thoughts on here

I'm also thinking that even if a couple of the films aren't that great, then others won't be far behind and they can't all be crap :lol:

Fantastic. These are great times. So much awesomesness to look forward to it!

Who's the standalone character though??

Positive thinking. I like it.

They may even get better as they go.

Though I think AOTC was possibly worse than TPM. In places at least.

Definitely agree there, they killed off the two best character of the PT in the first movie and with Qui Gonn and Darth Maul gone, all we were left with were a couple of charisma-free planks in Hayden and Portman to fill the void. Plus the move to digital and greenscreen sets made AOTC look horribly artificial and photoshoppy so couldn't even enjoy it much from a visual perspective.

Argh - damn it, you've made me think of the prequels again! Better go and have a shower to cool off...

I Can't Wait I Can't Wait I Can't Wait I Can't Wait I Can't Wait I Can't Wait I Can't Wait :lol:
