The former Editor-in-Chief for PC Gamer has gone on to bigger and brighter things since leaving his already-illustrious post. In addition to writingThe Book of Eliand several episodes of the award-winning video game adaptation ofThe Walking Dead, Gary Whitta has been confirmedvia Disney announcementas the writer of theStar Wars2016 standalone movie. The film is expected to be released on December 16, 2016.
Details about the film are sparse right now, but it is still a great accomplishment to be known as the first ever to write aStar Warsmovie outside of the episodic main canon. While speculations and rumors have led many to believe the standalone film will center around eitherHan Solo, Boba Fett or Luke Skywalker’s time as Red Five, they have been unconfirmed and seemingly no-brainer guesses.
Knowing Whitta’s passion for characterization, theming, and having experience in writing for science fiction (especially in writingThe Walking Dead Season 2Episode 1), it would appear that theStar Wars2016 movie is in good hands. Besides, aStar Warsmovie is like pizza. Even if it’s bad, it’s still aStar Warsmovie.
