33 Things to Expect From 'Star Wars: Episode VIII'
We're 503 days from May 26, 2017, the day we'll find out what happens after [redacted] finds [redacted] and hands [redacted] that [redacted] at the end of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. (Solace: Rogue One, the first non-trilogy flick, subtitled A Star Wars Story, hits on December 16 this year.) Since the credits rolled on our first-of-an-undisclosed-amount-of-viewings of Episode VII, we've been scheming about the next one. (And rifling through all the awesome theories.)
Here are the things that will definitely, no questions asked, happen in/around/because of Star Wars: Episode VIII. This is going to spoil some of The Force Awakens.
1. It will ring in the 40th anniversary of Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, the one that started it all.
2. Lots more kids will immediately leave the theater and play pretend-lightsabers because it'll be a seasonable May evening not a cold-ass December night.
3. Kylo Ren will use two lightsabers. Nowhere to go but up.
