Disney is planning on creating 10 new Star Wars movies.
Disney is planning 10 more Star Wars movies. Movie bosses are in talks to create five more on top of five already planned Star Wars movies.
Two trilogy episodes and three spin-offs are already planned. Disney is working on more projects featuring new and legacy characters. Solo flicks for Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi and Mace Windu are among the ideas.
According to The Sun, JJ Abrams told reporters that “There are some really cool things being discussed. It is very exciting to see how it is being put together.”
A source close to The Sun added: “The success of The Force Awakens has given executives much to think about.
“So many characters’ back-stories and futures can now be brought to life. When these ideas came from George Lucas 40 years ago, technology was lagging behind. Now they can be turned around in a year.”
Disney paid Lucasfilm over $3 billion for the rights in 2012 and so far, the movie franchise has earned $1.5 billion from The Force Awakens alone. The final trilogy movies are due out in 2017 and 2019.
In addition, a spin-off, Rogue-One, is due out this year with Han Solo and Boba Fett movies due in 2018 and 2020.
