We had a good thread about Star Wars Episode VII, so lets continue with the next movie. The filming for Episode VIII has started!

"Rey took her first steps into a larger world in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and will continue her epic journey with Finn, Poe, and Luke Skywalker in the next chapter of the continuing Star Wars saga, Star Wars: Episode VIII, which began principal photography at Pinewood Studios in London on February 15, 2016.

Star Wars: Episode VIII, which is written and directed by Rian Johnson and continues the storylines introduced in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, welcomes back cast members Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong’o, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, Gwendoline Christie, and Andy Serkis.

Hopefully in the next movie, we'll find out where that orange alien with big glasses came from and how she got her hands on a light saber.

Hopefully the next movie won't be a remake of one of the previous movies...

I liked episode VII, with a caveat... the only way I'm keeping my opinion of VII as a good movie is if VIII or IX (preferably VIII) reveals Rey was previously trained as a Jedi and has had her memory blocked/wiped somehow. Or even better, some twist I'm not seeing. Else she was way OP.

Of course that doesn't fix Finn, no way he should have stood up to Kylo Ren for more than a second or two.

Yes, this is what I am looking for too - find out where that orange alien with big glasses came from and how she got her hands on a light saber.. I hope it gets revealed in the next movie. High expectations from a big Star Wars fans!

Star Wars was never my cup of tea, but I'm happy for the fans nonetheless.
