The planned spin-off STAR WARS movies featuring character’s from within the STAR WARS universe, are said to be ‘origin stories,’ and will not be part of the main universe, according to Walt Disney Co. chief financial officer Jay Rasulo at a conference on in the US on Thursday. The films would be released in between the main saga releases, which kick off in 2015 from director J.J. Abrams.
According to Variety, it looks like the first ‘origin story’ may even get a release in 2016.
Rasulo also noted that one “Star Wars” trilogy film or “origin story film” would also appear on the release schedule each year, starting with the seventh installment in the “Star Wars” saga that J.J. Abrams will direct and Disney releases in 2015.
So basically MORE prequels then.
There is no news on as to what the subject characters will be for these movies, but according to sources, Larry Kasdan and Simon Kinberg are currently hard at work on them. We’ll bring you more news as we get it.
