Jane Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Welp, considering The Force Awakens is kicking ass, it's not too surprising they're releasing Episode VIII in the same timeframe, specifically December 15, 2017. Set to be directed and written by Rian Johnson and executive-produced by J.J. Abrams. The actors from TFA will reprise their roles as well. http://www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-episode-viii-to-open-december-15-2017?cmp=smc|339573417&linkId=20528618 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Snake Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Not surprising at all there's going to be another. The second movie of the original trilogy was better than the first, so let's hope that the same is true for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoBibbles Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Isn't it too early to make a thread about this? No one has even make a thread for Rogue One yet. I expect big things from this since the second one in the original trilogy took the franchise into a different direction and inspired a lot of people to improve their sequels upon their first movies.

Joe Biden Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 We pretty much knew that there was gonna be another movie. Plus, they also announced an IX too. http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/star-wars-8-9-and-rogue-one-releases-dates-plots-casts-and-directors-a6785291.html Judging on the pattern, IX could be released on December 20th, 2019.

We have a release date and it's supposed to start shooting next month. I think it's not early at all. We're gonna get a lot of news really soon.

crushingmayhem Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Episode VII was popular enough so I always expected to see Episode VIII. Hope it continues from the cliffhanger VII left us with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 http://comicbook.com/2016/01/22/avatar-2-reportedly-wont-be-ready-in-time-for-planned-christmas-/ At this point I don't see the point in releasing Avatar 2. It's been almost 10 years and I don't think it has that strong of a fanbase or staying power really. It was just a fun gimmicky movie to watch in 3d or gawk at the visual effects.

Clappy Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Not surprised Disney moved the release date back at all. It was pretty ballsy because Avatar 2 was originally scheduled to be released that same weekend...and of course now Fox delayed it again as early as last night. Hilarious. While I personally don't think magic will strike twice with this move box office wise because that would be close to impossible (and before people point out to me what the last one just did, no movie ever behaved like that EVER. You would be asking a lot to have a movie repeat that pattern twice, especially with how The Force is behaving normally now.) , I am far more excited for this than I was originally for The Force Awakens. Rian Johnson is one of my favorite directors today and I personally can't wait to see him handle one of my favorite movie franchises. I know he can do sci-fi action/adventure movies and not only do I think, but I know he can make this sequel much better than the original Force. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really hoping that this will be the Empire of the sequel trilogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
