"Star Was Episode 7" is set to begin production early 2014, but multiple reports say the film doesn't have a completed script or a set budget.
According to SlashFilm.com, Alan Horn, the Chairman of Disney, spoke at a Variety event on Friday, revealing he expects to see a finished script by January 2014.
"Disney expects to get script for Star Wars 7 in January. No budget for movie although studio wouldn't be surprised if it costs $200 million," Variety reporter Marc Graser tweeted during the event.
The reporter added Disney is expecting Lucasfilm to release a movie every year after "Star Wars Episode 7" hits theaters. Director J.J. Abrams has kept quiet about the film's production, so it is plausible the movie is farther ahead than what's been reported.
In other "Star Wars" news, comedians Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are claiming they are the newest additions to the "Episode 7" cast. The actresses discussed their "roles" as the "Vader Moms" while taking on the job of guest editors for Entertainment Weekly.
Check out what the funny woman had to say about their parts in the upcoming film below:
POEHLER: "He has two horrible mothers. We know a lot of father stuff with Star Wars, and not a lot of mother stuff. We play these really naggy mothers of Darth Vader."
FEY: [In an elderly New Yorker accent] "'Darth, eat! Why don't you eat?' That kind of stuff."
POEHLER: "You're never gonna find a girl when you go out looking like that!"
FEY: "Making him practice his Jedi stuff for hours."
POEHLER: "Hitting on all his Jedi friends inappropriately. I feel like the theme of the next Star Wars is going to be: How does a working mother juggle it all? I'm looking forward to that. What I like about all these giant superhero movies is that they speak to the issues that I'm dealing with right now - working mother and time management and how to be an interesting, sexual, curious woman in your 40s. That's the kind of stuff that I like to see on the screen, and that's what I see with a lot of the films out today."
