- STAR WARS: EPISODE 7
"There has been speculation about some stand-alone
films that are in development," Iger tells CNBC. "I can confirm to
you today that, in fact, we are working on a few stand-alone films. Larry
Kasdan and Simon Kinberg are both working on films derived from great 'Star
Wars' characters that are not part of the overall saga. We still plan to make
Episodes 7, 8, and 9, roughly over a six-year period of time, starting in 2015.
There are going to be a few other films released in that time, too."

Iger goes on to say that Kasdan and Kingberg are serving in
a consulting capacity on J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: Episode VII with Michael Arndt
supplying the screenplay. Both writers are simultaneously working on new, as of
yet unknown, Star Wars films.
The news arrives on the heels of yesterday's rumor that
claimed the first such film would follow the adventures of Yoda. While that
rumor has not been confirmed, Iger's comments suggest some truth to the
reports.

A while back we also heard another rumour that Zack Snyder
would be developing a Jedi-Samurai stand-alone film for the Star Wars
franchise. However, the filmmaker’s representatives quickly shot that
down.
