Han Solo film will span six years, Luke Skywalker has a lot of lines in The Last Jedi, and more from Bob Iger
The Wall Street Journal writer Ben Fritz is currently at an event at USC where Dean Willow Bay is interviewing her husband, Disney CEO Bob Iger. Fritz shared a few interesting tidbits on Twitter:

Iger: "I’ve exhorted our team to not create VR experiences at the parks. Augmented yes, but virtual, no."

Han Solo movie will follow him from age 18 through 24 and show him finding the Falcon, meeting Chewbacca, and getting his name, Iger says

Mark Hamill has a big role in episode 8 and will do "a lot of talking," says Iger

It’s really interesting and nice to hear that the Han Solo film will span such a large time frame. That leaves a lot of room for adventure and the ever sought-after “character development.”
In other Iger news, the head honcho at Disney has extended his contract until 2019, but assures he’s really retiring after that.
