Good news for all 'Star Wars' fans. Disney is in talks for ten more 'Star Wars' films following the success of 'Episode VII - The Force Awakens.'

It is being said the franchise already has five further movies, two trilogies and a hat-trick of spin-offs, planned and executives are reportedly discussing another quintet of the sci-fi motion pictures for after 2020, Channel 24 reports.

An insider revealed that the success of 'The Force Awakens' has given executives much to think about its more films.

Last year, it was reported that Ewan McGrego is in talks with Disney about a possible trilogy of films based on the legendary Jedi Master.

In addition to this, Mace Windu, played by Samuel L Jackson in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith - could also get his own spin-off.

Last year, director AJ Edwards admitted he was in talks to helm a 'Star Wars' movie based on the Master of the Order.

When asked by a fan on social networking service Reddit if there is any truth to the rumours he might be directing a future film in the franchise, he wrote: "Talking about it, not able to say a lot yet, It will focus on Mace Windu."

The next two movies in the trilogy are due to drop in 2017 and 2019, while Han Solo and Boba Fett movies are expected in 2018 and 2020.
