The first Star Wars movie came out in 1977. There are 9 Star Wars movies in total, including the one coming out Dec. 15, 2017. How many movies more movies will they release before its over and how will it end? At this rate, there’s probably more to come as Disney will continue to make movies so long as they have the money to do so, being a large film studio in Hollywood today.

The Mickey Mouse company acquired the Star Wars brand on Oct. 30, 2012 when they announced a deal to buy off Lucasfilm for 4.05 billion dollars as creator George Lucas expressed his desire to pass on the film franchise to fresher hands.

The official trailer for Episode 8 came out October 10, 2017. Now personally, I’m not a big Star Wars fan but I do enjoy the movies, and when I first watched the trailer I got chills because it was awesome! The graphics look amazing and I’m a huge Kylo Ren fan. Hence, I was glad that he had a great presence in the trailer. I was really interested in the different types of creatures that were shown because I have never seen them before and they look super cool. The music that was played in the backround really added to the suspense of the trailer and got me even more hyped for the movie.

ERHS senior student Danny Nguyen says about the trailer that “when I first saw it in my AP computer science class, how I reacted to it was just amazing. It is exciting to see all of the characters back from “The Force Awakens”  and to see this new turn with the movie because it has a new director [Rian Johnson who also directed “Looper”] that adds a new type of darkness to the story. I’m very excited.”

Lots of  Star Wars fans are impatiently waiting for the movie to come out to critique it and enjoy it.
