Rian Johnson?s "Star Wars: Episode 8 ? The Last Jedi" is projected to earn at least 1.6 billion dollars at the worldwide box office. That would make the film one of the highest-grossing movies of all-time. The highly-anticipated sequel to J.J. Abrams? "Star Wars: Episode VII ? The Force Awakens" continues expanding Lucasfilm?s Star Wars sequel trilogy, while also laying the foundation for Abrams to return to the fold with his 2019 installment, "Star Wars: Episode IX."
