It was thought to be case, now Disney Pictures CEO Bob Iger has confirmed talk that the studio is looking into “Star Wars” spin-off films that will be released independently of the new trilogy. Iger tells CNBC:
“There has been speculation about some stand-alone films that are in development. I can confirm to you today that, in fact, we are working on a few stand-alone films.
Larry Kasdan and Simon Kinberg are both working on films derived from great ‘Star Wars’ characters that are not part of the overall saga.
We still plan to make Episodes 7, 8, and 9, roughly over a six-year period of time, starting in 2015. There are going to be a few other films released in that time, too.”
