Original announcement:

In addition to the episodes of a new Star Wars trilogy, Lucasfilm and Disney have begun development on multiple stand-alone movies that will offer new stories beyond the core Saga. Gareth Edwards will direct the first stand-alone film, with a screenplay by Gary Whitta. The film is due out December 16, 2016.

Gareth Edwards blazed into the filmmaking forefront with his acclaimed work on Monsters, a film he wrote, directed and served on as cinematographer and visual effects artist. The skill and vision readily apparent in Monsters earned him the high-profile spot directing this year's smash hit Godzilla.

"Ever since I saw Star Wars I knew exactly what I wanted to do for the rest of my life - join the Rebel Alliance! I could not be more excited & honored to go on this mission with Lucasfilm, said Edwards.

Gary Whittas screenwriting credits include 2010s The Book of Eli starring Denzel Washington. He is also well known as a journalist and editor in the video game industry, as well as part of the BAFTA award-winning team on Telltale Games adaptation of The Walking Dead.

Whitta states, "From the moment I first saw the original movie as a wide-eyed kid, Star Wars has been the single most profound inspiration to my imagination and to my career as a writer. It is deeply special to me,so to be given the opportunity to contribute to its ongoing legacy, especially in collaboration with a film-maker as talented as Gareth,is literally a dream come true. I'm still pinching myself."

I love the smell of a new Star Wars trailer in the morning.

Literally jumped out of bed still half asleep just to watch it... worth it though.

This looks so different to The Force Awakens, but in the best way possible. Cannot wait!

Love the reveal of the ISD from the Death Star's shadow which mirrors the TESB scene (where an ISD gets hidden by the Executor's shadow).

Plus, I think this shot will really rock in 3D. Like in TFA, except that This. Is. The. True. Star. Destroyer.

I love this trailer. Some awesome shots like what @TheHutt mention (which is my favourite), also the shot with the bazooka misile etc.

Damn i love the tone of the movie, i think its going to be better than TFA

Sorry I am Star Wars Challenged

There will be a new star wars movie coming out every year for the next few years.
Every 2 years we will see the next eps in the series.

then on every off year (like this year) we will see a Anthology film (or "Star Wars Story") film.

Current upcoming Schedule:

• Rogue One: A Star Wars Story: Dec. 16, 2016
• Star Wars: Episode VIII: Dec. 15, 2017
• Star Wars Anthology: Han Solo: May 25, 2018
• Star Wars: Episode IX: 2019
• Star Wars Anthology: Boba Fett: 2020

Make sense? haha

 

[Actarus]

Thanks @kaw indeed very cool thanks so much for all this info it's actually a very neat concept and great for the fans that will have something in between episode movies.

I wish they would do that with other movie franchise as well, a sequel every 2 years is often way too long...
