I have fresh news direct from Disney: Star Wars: Episode VII will open December 18, 2015!
I know it's a long ways off, but I personally know several people who are dying for every drop of Star Wars news they can have, and I bet a lot of you are the same way!
If you missed it the first time around, I've already posted some details about J.J. Abrams and Star Wars: Episode VII.
Here are a few more tidbits of information from Disney:
Pre-production of Star Wars: Episode VII is in full-swing. “We're very excited to share the official 2015 release date for Star Wars: Episode VII, where it will not only anchor the popular holiday filmgoing season but also ensure our extraordinary filmmaking team has the time needed to deliver a sensational picture,” said Alan Horn, chairman of The Walt Disney Studios.
Star Wars: Episode VII will be directed by J. J. Abrams (Super 8, Mission: Impossible III, Star Trek)and is being scripted by Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan (Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi).
Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, J.J. Abrams, and Bryan Burk are producing, with Tommy Harper (Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, Jack Ryan, Star Trek Into Darkness) and Jason McGatlin (Tintin, War of the Worlds) serving as executive producers. John Williams is returning to score Star Wars: Episode VII.
Shooting is scheduled to begin spring 2014 at Pinewood Studios.
I'm on the list to receive additional news on Star Wars: Episode VII as it's released. When I do, you all will be the first people I share it with!

Wow. I had no idea there was another Star Wars in the works! My husband might flip! I’m sure if he knew than he would have already told me everything he knew about it 🙂

My son is 5 and he’s obsessed with Star Wars. Do you know what this one is rated? He’ll be 7 by the time Star Wars Episode 7 comes along.

Marybeth! How is it that I heard about the new Star Wars movie from you on your baby deals website? That’s awesome! Maybe I’ll see you soon? Probably not 🙂 Keep this news coming. What else do you know about the new Star Wars?
Marybeth Hamilton says
OMG, Mark, your comment just made me laugh so hard! First, I love sharing entertainment news like this because I just love it. Remember, babies don’t read this site, adults do, and sometimes parents just don’t have time to go seeking out entertainment news they’d like to know about. I like to bring it to them in addition to all the baby deals 🙂 Plus, I like to surprise guys like you!
PS: I don’t have any other information about Star Wars: Episode VII but you’ll find it here when I do 🙂
