J.J. Abrams on STAR WARS Spinoff Films
Disney and Lucasfilm have already confirmed that we will be seeing at least one new Star Wars movie every summer after Star Wars: Episode VII is released. While J.J. Abrams is working on that film, Disney has several other people developing the rest of the trilogy including the spinoff films that everyone is excited about.
Abrams recently did an interview with MTV in which he discussed these spinoff movies, and one of the interesting things he suggests is that the success of the next installment will allow all the other movies to be made. When asked if he was involved with the spinoff movies, this was his response,
We're focusing right now on this because this movie feels like this is the one that has to work for anything else to work.
There are discussions about what would happen later and how to make this thing and to tell [the] story, you can't look at it in a binary way. It's obviously part of something much greater. To talk about those off-shoot films, that's something [you] have to talk about with Kathleen Kennedy.
So basically, he's not involved with the spinoff films directly, but he's the one that's going to set the stage for them. I'm sure Star Wars: Episode VII is going to turn out incredible, and that it's going to be a huge hit. All of these Star Wars movies that we want to see happen are going to happen!
