The folks over at starwars.com have released some information about the future of the Star Wars franchise.  Of course it isn’t a whole lot, but it is interesting.  This summer filming will begin for the first stand alone Star Wars movie, entitled Rogue One, starring Felicity Jones.  Rogue One is slated for a December 16, 2016 release.  Then the next installment of the main movies, Star Wars VIII, is scheduled for a May 26, 2017, release and will be written and directed by Rian Johnson.  We will see how much will change between now and then.
