The ''Star Wars'' sequel trilogy is the upcoming third film trilogy in the American space opera franchise ''Star Wars'', created by George Lucas. It is being produced by Lucasfilm Ltd. The trilogy will consist of episodes ''VII'' through ''IX'' and will follow after ''Return of the Jedi'' (1983) in the saga's chronology. Lucas originally planned a sequel trilogy in the mid-1970s,〔 but had abandoned these plans by the late 1990s. In 2012, The Walt Disney Company acquired Lucasfilm and announced production of a sequel trilogy. The first installment, ''Star Wars: The Force Awakens'', began pre-production on October 30, 2012 and is scheduled for release on December 18, 2015. The film was directed by J. J. Abrams who co-wrote the screenplay with Lawrence Kasdan. Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher along with other main characters from the original trilogy will return to reprise their roles and will co-star alongside John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver and Oscar Isaac.〔 ''Episode VIII'' is planned to be released on May 26, 2017,〔(Rogue One Is the First Star Wars Stand-Alone Film, Rian Johnson to Write and Direct Star Wars: Episode VIII ).
