Star Wars Sequel Trilogy
The Star Wars sequel trilogy is the upcoming third trilogy in the Star Wars space opera film series created by George Lucas. It consists of Episodes VII through IX and will follow Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi in the saga's chronology. The trilogy was planned around 1975 by Lucas, who initially said that he wanted to do four trilogies of films. After the success of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Lucas planned to include three trilogies. However, in publicity reviews for Return of the Jedi, Lucas refused to commit to a schedule for when he would continue the saga. In 1987, Lucas confirmed that he would eventually continue the saga, starting with the prequel trilogy.
During the late 1990s, Lucas said that it was unlikely he would do the sequel trilogy and said that Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith was to be the final film in the saga. However, in 2012, Lucas later revealed plans for the sequel trilogy. With the announcement of its acquisition of Lucasfilm, The Walt Disney Company revealed plans for Episode VII, with a release in 2015, followed by Episode VIII and Episode IX. On January 25, 2013, J.J. Abrams was confirmed as the director and producer of Episode VII, with Michael Arndt writing the screenplay.

Famous quotes containing the words star, wars and/or sequel:
“Exhaust them, wrestle with them, let them not go until their blessing be won, and, after a short season, the dismay will be overpast, the excess of influence withdrawn, and they will be no longer an alarming meteor, but one more brighter star shining serenely in your heaven, and blending its light with all your day.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“... the trouble is that most people in this country think that we can stay out of wars in other parts of the world. Even if we stay out of it and save our own skins, we cannot escape the conditions which will undoubtedly exist in other parts of the world and which will react against us.... We are all of us selfish ... and if we can save our own skins, the rest of the world can go. The best we can do is to realize nobody can save his own skin alone. We must all hang together.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“Though the Jazz Age continued it became less and less an affair of youth. The sequel was like a children’s party taken over by the elders.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
