What we’re seeing here extremely early on in the game is very few solid details and an overflow of rumors the likes of which we’ve only come to see from the release of an iPhone – imagine that. At the outset, we’ve got this: Michael Arndt is attached as writer and George Lucas will indeed be involved.
Star Wars films 2-3 times a year starting in 2015
This week the upcoming president of Lucasfilm, Kathleen Kennedy, has made it clear to employess that she intended them to release 2-3 Star Wars films a year starting in 2015 with Episode VII.
