"Star Wars: Episode 8" begins production!

By Eddie Brim

Star Wars: Episode VIII has begun production recently following their recent success of episode seven, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which broke all kinds of records. After not releasing a new movie since 2005 the release in 2015, which was just shy of the Oscar nomination of Best Picture, revamped the Star Wars pulse in the industry. Now the new film has begun production with director Rian Johnson and George Lucas and is expected to be released in December of the year 2017. “I cannot wait for the new film to be released and I will definitely see it in theaters. I’m expecting episode eight to break the records that episode seven just set and will be an even better movie which will be an award winner hands down,” said big Star Wars fan, (junior) Jason Fantozzi. After filming for two years the special effects that Star Wars is known for may be even more realistic and incredible than in prior films. It is fair to say that everyone is looking forward to seeing the next part in the original hero’s journey film franchise, known as the one and only Star Wars.
