Here we go, folks: the first piece of wild speculation about Star Wars Episode VII. Ain't It Cool News has posted a note from a reader who suggests that Disney's mysterious film 1952, which is currently in development, is actually the first Star Wars sequel.
Back in May, FirstShowing.net speculated that 1952, which will be directed by Brad Bird and written by Lost excecutive producer Damon Lindelof, "may just be an original sci-fi world/story entirely of its own." Now that we know about secret work on the first Star Wars sequel, however, speculation is building that 1952 is the Blue Harvest of Episode VII.
AICN reader LV_426 provides several paragraphs of supporting reasoning that led him to this conclusion, and we won't reproduce it all here. But if you, like me, are excited about this new era of Star Wars movie rumors and speculation, it's worth clicking over to AICN and giving this 1952 theory a read.
