Following Daisy Ridley (Rey’s) comments last month that the script for Star Wars Episode VIII is “very good”, John Boyega (Finn) has also commented on the script.
Boyega has stated that the script for Episode VIII is “much darker” than the script for last years’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Boyega is quoted as saying the following:
“It’s great. Much darker, but we’re very excited.”
Star Wars Episode VIII is scheduled for release on May 26th, 2017. The film (directed by Rian Johnson) is set to begin official filming later this month.

The Kylo Ren figure is the first figure of the character to show his unmasked look.

A lot of the focus for Star Wars fans recently has been on the big-screen because of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but a new report suggests that Star Wars: Rebels will be returning to the small screen as soon as January 20th.
While the date is unconfirmed, a cable listing has a Rebels episode titled “A Princess on Lothal” listed for airing that day. Could this be a hint that Leia Organa will be appearing in Rebels?
A short description from the listing reads as follows (though it could be a general description for the show):
“A group of rebels try to stop the Empire from spreading tyranny throughout the galaxy.”
This has yet to be confirmed by Lucasfilm or Disney.
Thoughts on this report? Are you excited to see more episodes from Star Wars: Rebels?
