We expect more news on this (assuming Lucasfilm is ready to announce it) at Star Wars Celebration, this year April 7-10 in London at ExCeL (and yes, funny idiots will be presentfor which we can only apologize in advance).
Knight’s latest work, a new adaptation of High expectationsbegins Sunday on the BBC in the UK and via Hulu on the same day in the US.
