Pablo Hidalgo wasn’t the only person who’s been keeping this bombshell a secret. According to an interview at Entertianment Weekly, Mark Hamill says he and Carrie Fisher have known that a new trilogy was coming since August.
Of course, Entertainment Weekly tried to get more out of Hamill, but he doesn’t have much information to give up:
When you had lunch with George, did he get into any details with you about where the story would go in the next three films, or whether you would have a part in them?
Well, no, he was just talking about writers and the fact that he wouldn’t be directing. I guess he wanted us to know before everybody else knew. He said, “Now you can’t tell anybody!” [Laughs] Even now I’m nervous about saying anything. I just don’t know!
Let the fan speculation continue, I suppose.
I was actually thinking that they could jump far into the EU and have the movies about Luke and Leia’s kids in order to allow for aging.Thoughts?
I had the same idea, mainly because it would provide nice symmetry. Episodes 1-3 are about Anakin Skywalker, Episodes 4-6 are about his kids. Episodes 7-9 could be about their kids. It makes sense. And Mark Hamill is the right age for it. Who knows! Speculation is fun. 🙂
I argee. I honestly think that Disney is going to create a channel specifically for SW. That way whatever they dont do in the movies, they can do on TV.
