Filming has begun on Star Wars: Episode VIII. And if that’s not enough, work’s already underway on Episode IX.

Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed the news in a conference call to discuss Disney’s quarterly earnings.

“Filming of Star Wars: Episode VIII, the next chapter of the legendary saga, has just commenced and it will be in theaters December 2017″ he told journalists.

“And production of Episode IX, a 2019 release, has also begun.”

Iger also revealed everything’s looking good for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story which is due for release in December.

“Filming of Rogue One is virtually completed and we absolutely love what we’ve seen so far.”

I’m excited!
