The Grand Opening of Star Wars 'The Force Awakens' has come and gone.... Anyone else thinking about when they will be releasing the next one? Us too :) After a bit a investigating here's what we found out...

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (Dec 16, 2016) Will be taking us to a time before Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi first met on Tattoine,  giving a behind-the-scenes look at how Princess Leia, R2-D2 and Co came to possess the Death Star plans. Described as a 'heist' movie, it will be directed by Godzilla's Gareth Edwards and star Felicity Jones, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, Forest Whitaker and more.


Star Wars Anthology: Han Solo (May 25, 2018) is the as-yet-untitiled solo film set to explore the backstory of everyone's favorite scoundrel and smuggler. Since the Star Wars Expanded Universe has been rendered non-canonical with the Disney acquisition of Lucasfilm, this will be the first 'official' glimpse into the charcter's back story in the newly-reworked timeline. Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, Han Solo will reportedly be The Final Star Wars Movie written by the Empire Strikes. 


Star Wars Episode IX (2019) will be directed by Colin Trevorrow from a script by Rian Johnson. The film will likely close out the story of the battle with Kylo Ren and Snoke, as the earliest comments from Disney were that they were planning a new Star Wars trilogy. Whichever members of The Force Awakens cast are still alive (the characters, not the actors, although presumably that too) will return for the film.


Star Wars Anthology: Boba Fett (2020) is still not officially confirmed, and no creative are officially on board, although there have been rumors for a while that the bounty hunter would have his own film. This one would also, plausibly, allow them to tie into Han Solo and/or Rogue One, creating a second, distinct timeline of Star Wars movies being released at the same time as the Episode Films -- also thought the pure speculation and rumors up until now.


What a Line Up?! Who's excited? Let us know which film excites you the most! Our choice? My boys are routing for the rumors of Boba Fett to be true :)










We've done it! We have Searched, Googled and Compiled the LARGEST list we can find of 70 Disney Movie Secrets! Lets not waste anymore time... Here we go:

68.  The voice of Boo in Monsters Inc... Mary Gibbs... was just a toddler at the time. The production team had a hard time getting her to record... so they followed her around the studio and pieced Boo’s dialogue together from things she said while she was playing.



69. What?! In the video release of The Rescuers, a photo of a topless woman was hidden away in two frames. This led to Disney having to recall 3.4 million copies of the movie.
