Star Wars: Episode VII (http://www.engadget.com/2013/11/07/star-wars-episode-vii-launch-date-december-2015/) isn't even in theaters yet, but that isn't stopping Disney and Lucasfilm from providing details about a movie two sequels ahead. They'veannounced (http://www.starwars.com/news/colin-trevorrow-to-direct-star-wars-episode-ix?linkId=16333954) that Colin Trevorrow, the director of Jurassic World (http://www.engadget.com/2015/01/30/lego-jurassic-world-avengers/), will helmEpisode IX. Despite what it looks like, this isn't just an attempt to cash in on the runaway financial (though not critical) success of Trevorrow's dinosaur disaster flick. Lucasfilm's Kathleen Kennedy says that she was "interested" in a team-up ever since she saw the meme-based movie Safety Not Guaranteed in 2012. Whatever you think of the decision, you'll have to wait a while to see how well Trevorrow follows in the footsteps of Episode VII's JJ Abrams and VIII's Rian Johnson (http://www.engadget.com/2015/03/12/star-wars-spinoff-episode-viii/) -- the ninth title won't reach movie houses until 2019.
