Han Solo may be no more, but the still untitled Star Wars: Episode VIII has a lot of loose ends to tie up and even more to further unravel.

Having seen its predecessor make an almost vulgar amount of money, and on the back of Rogue One making everyone fall in love with Star Wars even more again, the second in the modern trilogy is an assured financial hit. It's also an opportunity to start peeling back more layers on the new cast members, shepherding off the old cast (something that is now even more necessary with the tragic death of Carrie Fisher) and establishing more of a mythology around Kylo Ren and Snoke.

To be honest, Disney could troll the entire world by making a shot for shot remake of the Christmas Special with the new cast and pretty much 95% of the film-loving world would still go and see it.
