Star Wars Episode 8 by Jason Chang

Even as Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens is still in theater, the movie crew is buzzing around, formulating a plot for the eighth episode! This mysterious, yet untitled film, shall begin filming next month in London. Excited, are you? Sorry, no spoilers! And to my surprise, even the crew is uncertain whether the plot is official. They say the script goes overtime, so it may have to be revised.

As far as the cast goes, the makers say that all actors and cast will reappear in the new episode, but they are considering whether Harrison Ford (Han Solo) will have a starring role. But could this new film be darker, scarier, and just as complex as Episode VII? I know of people that were unhappy with The Force Awakens. Some of my friends say it’s too complex, there’s too many new characters. Others say that the violence goes beyond the line of horror.

If these same characters are repeated in the new movie, this “dark” effect could be presented again, maybe even in a scarier way. "Rian Johnson is a friend of mine -- he's going to make some weird thing," the web site Independent.co.uk quoted him as saying. "If you've seen Rian's work, you know it's not going be like anything that's ever been in Star Wars."

Even the crew is unaware of  what will be presented in the new film. The crew states that key events, conflicts, and characters from The Force Awakens will be shown again. The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams assures the directors that Episode VIII is in good hands. But with Star Wars, you never know what's going to happen!
