Disney Chief Executive Bob Iger

LOS ANGELES — At least 15 years of Star Wars movies? Uh, yeah, that's a good start. Star Wars Movies are coming in droves according to the top executive at Disney.

"We’re just starting to talk about what happens in ‘Star Wars’ after ‘IX,’ ” Disney Chief Executive Bob Iger said. “We have a creative team actually thinking about what could be another decade and a half of ‘Star Wars’ stories."

And regarding the Han Solo film, Iger said, "We’re shooting now an origin story of Han Solo, which will come out in 2018. That picks up when [Han Solo] is 18 years old and takes us to when he is 24.”

“He acquires a certain vehicle and meets a certain Wookiee,” Iger continued. “That will happen in this film, and you’ll also discover how he got his name."

Finally, Iger discussed the passing of the beloved Carrie Fisher. “She’s in ‘VIII,’ and we’re not changing eight to deal with her passing,” Iger explained. “Her performance, which we’ve been really pleased with, remains as it was.”
