As the year comes to an end, we have seen Hollywood prepare moviegoers for the coming blockbusters set to be released next year. A slew of trailers including Terminator 5 Genisys, Jurassic World and Avengers: Age of Ultron have all been released to the public to give us a preview of the movie's set to fuel 2015's cinema boom. Star Wars Episode 7 might be the biggest movie to come, in December next year to be exact.
Even though filming has wrapped up and a full trailer has followed, there is little we know about the film's storyline, but what is know is that the new movie will bear the subtitle "The Force Awakens". The official Star Wars page has already confirmed this, along with a note congratulating the filming crew.
This is great news for fans and followers of the saga; unfortunately, this is all the news so far since filming has wrapped. What is known is that "The Force Awakens" is only a part of a trilogy and also a part of a six-movie installment that includes three spin-offs.
It has also been reported that Episode XIII is already in development, with "Looper" director Rian Johnson on writer/director duties.
