    I was thinking all this stuff we are seeing and all these locations might not be directly tied to episode 7. Remember Disney is making at least 5 movies not just 1 and they are planning on releasing a movie each year starting in 2015. Disney has proven they can do this with the Marvel Universe and seems to have the formula all worked out. Considering it takes about 2 years or more to make a movie there has to be some stuff already in the works for episodes 8 and 9 as well as the spin off movies. I would not be surprised if filming was already underway on the 2016 release and pre-planning for 2017 (episode 8). What do you guys think?

    I think they are spending all there time and resources on making Episode 7 all it can be. Our that is what I hope is happening.

    I would be somewhat surprised if they're filming random (even second unit) shots for a film that hasn't even been written yet (as far as we know).

    i Think your´e absolutelt right, that they are planning & possibly shooting for more than one Movie, at least planning, there will probably be some planets that are important & vital for all Movies (at least the numbered ones) -it is not like coruscant in the prequels where they don´t needed a set since it was cgi,

    the latest one we Heard about (possibly Dantooine) could be one of those they plan to use for more than one Movie, since they layed out grass all over the roofs & hangars, maybe they even plan to let the grass grow every year, planting more & more with flowers etc. to make it more & more lush for every Movie :)

    I agree. The second movie hasn't been written, so it seems doubtful that they'd know what to shoot just now.

    However, the thread itself is still original and I could see that once Episode 8 is written and the treatment for 9 as well then they'd know what they need in advance and could film back to back a la Peter Jackson's LOTR movies.

    I thought it was stated by an executive that they weren't filming other films simultaneously. I know George filmed scenes for Ep III (Tatooine to be specific) during the shooting of II. But we must not be visiting the same planets twice. Either that or said exec was misinformed.

    You're probably right. Right now they're focusing on one film. However, that wouldn't preclude them from filming simultaneously in the future.
