"Star Wars Episode 7 will reported follow the further adventures of Luke Skywalker. According to George Lucas&amp;#039;s biographer Dale Pollock, the producer mapped out a 12-part story outline for a complete Star Wars narrative arc, with Episode 7, 8 and 9 focusing on Skywalker in his 30s and 40s.   Pollock read Lucas&amp;#039;s outline and interviewed the Star Wars creator at length in the &amp;#039;80s when he was researching his book Skywalking: The Life and Films of George Lucas, according to The Wrap. &amp;quot;The three most exciting stories were 7, 8 and 9,&amp;quot; Pollock said. &amp;quot;They had propulsive action, really interesting new worlds, new characters. I remember thinking, &amp;#039;I want to see these 3 movies.&amp;#039;&amp;quot; Pollock added in reference to Disney&amp;#039;s $4 billion purchase of the Star Wars saga and Lucasfilm: &amp;quot;Writers will absolutely take his outline. That&amp;#039;s in part what Disney bought.&amp;quot; Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars movies, yesterday revealed that he was &amp;quot;gobsmacked&amp;quot; when Lucas told him of plans to continue the fantasy series. Video - Mark Hamill discusses Star Wars with Digital Spy in 2010:  Following news of Lucasfilm&amp;#039;s sale to Disney earlier this week, Lucas released a statement voicing his desire to pass Star Wars on to a new generation of filmmakers.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve always believed that Star Wars could live beyond me, and I thought it was important to set up the transition during my lifetime,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m confident that with Lucasfilm under the leadership of Kathleen Kennedy, and having a new home within the Disney organisation, Star Wars will certainly live on and flourish for many generations to come.&amp;quot; Lucas will donate most of the money that he received from the sale of Lucasfilm to charity, a company spokesperson revealed today (November 1). Star Wars Episode 7 will arrive in cinemas in 2015, with new movies expected to follow every two or three years after. &amp;gt; &amp;#039;Star Wars&amp;#039;: George Lucas&amp;#039;s space saga in pictures &amp;gt; &amp;#039;Star Wars Episode 7&amp;#039;: Is it a good idea? - poll Photo gallery - Star Wars rare behind the scenes pictures:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
