Disney has said they are definitely planning one Star Wars movie per year
starting in 2015. They plan to release an Episode of the new Trilogy every
two years and have a standalone spin-off movie on the "off years". The
rumours are that the stand-alone movies will be based around Boba Fett,
Han Solo, and Yoda. That would give a schedule something like:
2015 Star Wars: Episode VII
2016 Star Wars: Yoda
2017 Star Wars: Episode VIII
2018 Star Wars: Han Solo
2019 Star Wars: Episode IX
2020 Star Wars: Boba Fett
At the moment JJ Abrams is only in charge of Episode VII, but no doubnt
the idiot will be given the other two in the new Trilogy as well. :-( The
stand-alone movies will probably be done by someone else though.
There's also "news" that Dave Filoni is working on a new animated Star
Wars TV series, even though Disney shutdown "The Clone Wars" series
despite having many episodes of a new season completed or near-completed.
Having shutdown the recently acquired LucasArts game company, Disney have
also just announced they've signed a deal with Electronic Arts to make
Star Wars games.
