In an announcement that threatened to "crash the internet" late Tuesday afternoon, LucasFilm revealed that the hotly anticipated
Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be followed up with six prequel movies. Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy told reporters that the six films—tentatively titled Episodes I through VI—will "provide a backstory to many of the exciting characters and worlds you will see in Episode VII." "We're really excited to go on this journey with you." She said. "These six films will really allow us to explore the backgrounds of emerging characters like the lovable Chewbacca and his ageing sidekick Han Solo. It's going to be one heck of a ride." Star Wars fan forums are already rife with speculation, with fans hoping to see more adventures unfold on the dessert planet Jakku.
