Disney buys Lucasfilm for $4 billion (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=265934)

Come on Clay, stuff like that should be put in spoilers.

I kinda don't want to click on this thread any more. Maybe we should create a separate spoiler thread and a separate non-spoiler thread.

I think I don't want to hear any more about the new Star Wars movie. I want to walk in as surprised as I can possibly be in the age of the internet.

Star Wars: Episode VIII' Sets Director

UPDATED: "Looper" director Rian Johnson will direct the second new film and write a treatment for the third.

The Looper director is in talks with Lucasfilm to write and direct the next Star Wars film, Episode VIII, according to sources.

Contrary to reports that he will be directing the next two Star Wars film, Johnson will direct only Episode VIII, but he is writing a treatment for Episode IX.

Ram Bergman will produce Episode VIII.

Johnson has directed three feature films. His directorial debut, Brick, won the Special Jury Prize for Originality of Vision at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. He followed that up with 2008's Brothers Bloom and 2012's time-jumping sci-fi action-drama Looper, starring Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Johnson, repped by CAA and Lichter Grossman, also directed three episodes of AMC's hit series Breaking Bad.

J.J. Abrams is directing the first new film, Star Wars: Episode VII, which currently is shooting. It stars John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, Lupita Nyong'o and Max von Sydow, who will join the original stars of the saga, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew and Kenny Baker.

I'm treating this as a spoiler.

With Harrison Ford temporarily out of commission on the set of J.J. Abrams’ highly anticipated “Star Wars: Episode VII,” Hollywood sources say that star Oscar Isaac’s role in the movie is being expanded.

Details of Isaac’s role have been kept strictly secret — but there’s speculation he plays a descendant or even the son of Ford’s Han Solo character, who has “an especially large role.” But after Ford was injured on the sci-fi epic’s set, spies say Isaac’s part is now being extended as a Plan B.

“They are now beefing up Oscar’s role to be bigger with Harrison injured,” said a source familiar with the project that’s currently shooting at London’s Pinewood Studios.

Come on, grandpa; get your shit together. :)

Huge spoiler if true.

Spoiler!

However, according to Philly, "Star Wars bosses," have denied the reports that have suggested that director J.J. Abrams is expanding actor Oscar Isaac's role in Episode VII, despite Harrison Ford's on-set injury that put him in rehab.

A representative for Disney denied the rumor about Isaac's role being expanded, stating: "This is categorically not true."

Pretty big spoiler so using this thread.

Spoiler!

Interesting:
