Yes, Lucasfilm Will Make More STAR WARS Saga Movies After EPISODE IX

I never thought for a second that Episode IX would be the last Star Wars saga film ever made. Lucasfilm has already announced that they will be releasing at least two Star Wars films a year for many years to come, I just assumed that would include the continuation of the Star Wars started by George Lucas all those years ago. 

I don’t think fans will ever get tired of Star Wars unless they start making a slew of crappy Star Wars movies, but I don’t think that’s going to happen. It’s hard to imagine a society where people aren’t excited for Star Wars. If that day ever comes, it is a sign that the end of the world is near.

Chairman and CEO or The Walt Disney Company, Bob Iger, recently confirmed plans for additional Star Wars films that I imagine will continue the story of the Skywalker legacy. He told Newsbeat:

“There are five Star Wars films – four more with Episode VII: The Force Awakens – that are in varying stages of development and production. There will be more after that, I don’t know how many, I don’t know how often.”

I know most of us expected this, but it’s nice to have confirmation. Hell, Disney didn’t spend $4 billion to end the saga at Episode IX! As of right now, the studio is developing Rian Johnson‘s Star Wars: Episode VIII, Colin Trevorrow‘s Star Wars: Episode IX, Gareth EdwardsRogue One: A Star Wars Story, and Chris Miller and Phil Lord‘s untitled Han Solo movie.

I love that Disney is going to keep this franchise alive, and as long as these films are in good hands and they make great films, the fans will be happy and keep wanting to see more. I’m excited to see where this all leads, and how it will all come to an end if it ever ends!
