The Force Awakens is still rolling through records in the theaters. Viewers are comparing how many times they've viewed the movie (I'm still at a pitiful one viewing). But we have more news to help ring in the new year: Entertainment Weekly has unvealed the slate of Star Wars movies- Episodes and Anthologies- through the (expected) year 2020:
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (Dec. 16, 2016)
Almost one year after the release of The Force Awakens we will get our first non-Skywalker centric Star Wars movie.
Star Wars: Episode VIII (May 26, 2017)
Rey, Finn, Poe and Luke Skywalker return with the next installment in the new trilogy. Episode VIII will likely set more records and answer questions left at the end of The Force Awakens.
Star Wars Anthology: Han Solo (May 25, 2018)
A prequel telling the tale of a young Han Solo before he met up with Luke and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Maybe we'll finally find out how he made the Kessell Run in less than 12 Parcecs.
Star Wars: Episode IX (2019)
The sure to be thrilling conclusion to the new trilogy and winding down the story of Rey, Kylo Ren and co.
Star Wars Anthology: Boba Fett (2020)
The fan-favorite bounty hunter gets his long-awaited solo outing.
There you have it. The complete slate of Disney/Lucasfilms Star Wars films for the new generation of fans.
Personally, I knew it was coming, but I am not thrilled with the announcement of the Boba Fett film. I am of the contingent that thinks he's an over-hyped character that gained popularity based on his look more than anything. Other than that, I have four straight years of Star Wars movies to look forward to.
