Tons Of 'Star Wars' News From D23, Including The First Look At The 'Rogue One' Cast

Disney’s D23 Expo is currently going on right now, and while I have almost zero interest in being there in person (crowds stress me the hell out), this year is interesting solely because of Star Wars (I don’t care about being the first to see new Marvel stuff, not even at all). We’ve already heard that there won’t be any new footage from The ForceAwakens, but there are a ton of other things going on in that far, far away galaxy, and Disney and Lucasfilm unveiled some new info about the future of the franchise, and there’s a few badass nuggets to be sure.

'Star Wars: Episode 9' May Have A Director

Colin Trevorrow has said, recently, that he’s not going to direct a Star Wars movie, that after working on Jurassic World, part of an extant franchise as well as a huge step up in production scale than his only other feature, SafetyNot Guaranteed, he wants to do something personal and original. But as we’ve learned time and time again, never say never, and according to one report at least, he just got the job directing Star Wars: Episode IX.
