There’s a great post over at EW.Com where we find out that Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher, while not being told of the Disney merger, where told about the continuation of the Star Wars Saga, last year
I had no idea that George was going to sell to Disney until I read it online like everybody else. He did tell us last summer about wanting to go on and do [Episodes] VII, VIII, and IX, and that [newly appointed Lucasfilm president] Kathleen Kennedy would be doing them.
I missed his call yesterday, but I spoke to him maybe three weeks ago. But until we know more, it’s hard to make any comment other than congratulations to George.
Congratulations indeed
