STAR WARS: FANS FROM A LONG TIME AGO, AND FAR, FAR INTO THE FUTURE

Shooting has reportedly begun on the new “Star Wars” movie, which will take place in the series’ timeline following 1983’s “Episode VI - Return of the Jedi.”  While George Lucas may have handed over the directorial duties to J.J. Abrams, he’s still on board as a consultant for the new film.

It’s been 38 years since Lucas began filming the original “Star Wars,” and in that time, the franchise has made more than four and a half billion dollars worldwide.  It’s a phenomenon which has cut across both geographical and generational boundaries, since some of the moviegoers who watched the first films when they were kids are now grandparents!  Lucas told us he’s very, very proud of the fact that the films have reached so many generations of movie fans.


“Star Wars: Episode VII” is set to be released on December 15, 2015.
