Not so this morning&#8217;s call from Disney, which gave us enough scoop for two posts.<\/p>\n<p>During the call, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced that filming for the first film of the third trilogy,\u00a0<strong>Star Wars VII,<\/strong> will begin in May of this year in London&#8217;s Pinewood Studios, home to many other Star Wars films. He also announced that the trilogy will be set 30 after <strong>Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi<\/strong>, which is darned convenient because that&#8217;s just about the amount of years Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford have aged since that last installment.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of a glib announcement that R2-D2 will be coming back, no other cast was announced.
