Disney just pay over $ 4 Billion for Lucasfilm and the jewel of George Lucas ’ middle , the Star Wars Universe . The House of Mouse lay waste to no meter , announce that a new live - action Star Wars film ( tentatively title Star Wars Episode VII ) will be released in 2015 , with Modern films follow every few years . With only two to three years to plan , shoot , and edit , a story is probably already in place . But that does n’t intend we ca n’t speculate .
Here are five possible directions that Disney could take its new miniature in .

The Thrawn Trilogy
A exercise set of three books write by sci - fi master Timothy Zahn , the Thrawn Trilogy starts with 1991′s Heir to the Empire novel , the first official foray by Lucasfilm into the universe now know as the Expanded Star Wars Universe . The Thrawn Trilogy take in place five years after Return of the Jedi , with Han , Luke , Leia , and Chewbacca joining to crusade the oddment of the Empire led by the captivating Grand Admiral Thrawn , During the class of the three leger , Luke and Leia are also seduced by a Jedi who aims to lure the twin to the Dark Side .
The Thrawn Trilogy would allow for some storyline separation between the 2015 Star Wars movie and recurrence of the Jedi . This could be a positive , as the separation in time could make it more toothsome for fans to see Modern role player take on the pivotal roles of Han Solo , Luke Skywalker , and Leia Organa . If Disney chooses this commission , fans would also see the creation of several new characters , including Luke ’s succeeding married woman , Mara Jade , along with Han and Leia ’s children while the degree is set for a number of live action at law movies .
The rising slope of Darth Vader
The Cartoon connection Clone Wars series has steered far aside from the twenty - yr period between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope , a geological period where Darth Vader travel the universe of discourse as a pawn of the Empire . lover would flock to a Darth Vader - centrical movie , showing the emotional complexness of Anakin Skywalker as he struggles with the shift from a vivacious untried Jedi to cybernetic putting to death automobile by Emperor Palpatine .
This moody science fabrication film could feature a twenty to thirty - something Darth Vader struggling with the red of his humanity , his forced servitude , the loss of his wife , and the possibility that his matching tiddler are somewhere out there in the universe .
Pick up mightily after Return of the Jedi
By the end of Return of the Jedi , we see Han , Luke , Leia , C3 - PO , R2 - D2 , Chewbacca , and Lando dancing gayly around an Ewok - make fervour . The Rebels have make headway , but where do they go from here ? This motion picture could tack back and onward between characters , taking a tone at Leia ’s political raise as a leader in the Republic ( also pointed to in the amplify Universe novel ) , Han ’s life as a sometimes unwillingly betrothed Isle of Man , and Luke ’s keep Jedi training .
It would be difficult to see new actors take over these roles without a separation in story chronology , but if it ’s a new Star Wars film , lover will be all over it .
A Boba Fett Spin - Off
rumour of an on-going Star Wars live - action tv serial have floated around for the preceding four eld , with the series revolve about on the life and sentence of bounty Orion and possibly starring Boba Fett . While the serial has yet to surface , there are no doubt numerous scripts and plot lines establish for the series – why not utilize some of these for the next movie ?
A picture revolve around a teenage Boba Fett establishing himself as a bountifulness hunter would combine two generation of Star Wars rooter , and end possibly end the Prequel / Original Trilogy divide . If this does n’t become the next film , we could still see it in serial publication form on Walt Disney - own ABC in the future .
The Old Republic
Already the setting for BioWare ’s collide with television games Knights of the Old Republic I & II and the Old Republic MMORPG , the Old Republic is a massive meter geological period claim space 25,000 years to 1,000 years before Star Wars : A New Hope .
This might be the comfortable clip flow to write about and film , as many of the technical aspect are familiar to fan of the dealership ( they have blaster , light sabers , and spacecraft ) and entirely new part can be straight off introduced without contradicting the be Star Wars film franchise .
