Bob Iger says Star Wars: The Last Jedi is “a great next chapter in the iconic Skywalker family saga”

February 8, 2017 by Robert Kojder

To be fair, a Disney CEO who has seen Star Wars: The Last Jedi 10 months prior to release isn’t exactly going to publicly bash the mega-hyped blockbuster on social media. However, the tweet embedded below suggests that Disney’s Bob Iger endorses the film as a worthy next chapter in the ongoing Skywalker saga.

Perk of being @WaltDisneyCo CEO: seeing The Last Jedi early. Bob Iger calls it "a great next chapter in the iconic Skywalker family saga."

Are you jealous that that the CEO of Disney has seen Star Wars: The Last Jedi 10 months before you will be able to? What are the odds that Josh Gad now begins pestering Bob Iger for spoilers? And does the fact he calls it the Skywalker family saga mean Rey is Luke’s daughter? Let us know in the comments below…

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is set for release on December 15th 2017 and sees returning cast members Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), Carrie Fisher (Leia Organa), Adam Driver (Kylo Ren), Daisy Ridley (Rey), John Boyega (Finn), Oscar Isaac (Poe Dameron), Lupita Nyong’o (Maz Kanata), Domhnall Gleeson (General Hux), Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), Gwendoline Christie (Captain Phasma), Billie Lourd (Lieutenant Connix), Andy Serkis (Supreme Leader Snoke), Peter Mayhew and Joonas Suotamo (Chewbacca), Tim Rose (Admiral Ackbar), Mike Quinn (Nien Nunb), Simon Pegg (Unkar Plutt), and Warwick Davis joined by new additions Benicio Del Toro (Guardians of the Galaxy), Laura Dern (Jurassic Park), Kelly Marie Tran (Ladies Like Us) and Jimmy Vee (Pan) as R2-D2.
