On Tuesday , Disney updated its lean of scheduled movie releases , providingtantalizing new detailsfor fans of Earth ’s preeminent sequel - making omnicorp — and pull me to call up further into the future than I ever have before .

I ’m not joking . Three new Star Wars filmsare now scheduledfor December of 2022 , 2024 , and 2026 . That last one is seven geezerhood from now . If the 22nd Amendment remains on the books , an entirely dissimilar person will be president . youngster in the 5th grade today will be ready to fine-tune high shoal .

And I ’ll be previous as damn .

The planned release dates for the ( improbable figure of)Avatar sequelshave even graver implication . As of today , Disney says Avatar 5 is scheduled to come in out December 17 , 2027 … 2027 ! If I ’m even still awake , I ’ll be 40 years old .

I ’ll be honest , consequence like the 2008 financial crisis have condition me not to plan too far onwards . At my most affirmative , I ’ll toy with two- or three - year end . But there ’s something disturbingly concrete about a date like “ December 17 , 2027 . ” It ’s a daylight that will certainly come to pass , whether we ’re all here to see it or not .

What will sprightliness be like 2027 ? Will therestill be bees?Coral reefs ? Discrete meteorologic seasons the average person would acknowledge as “ summertime ” and “ winter ” ? Hard to say , but Disney is pretty certain there will be five Avatar movies .

And more importantly , what will my living be like in eight class ? I could be endure on another continent , or homeless , or guide an animal chancel for rescue donkeys by then . Statistically , I’ll in all likelihood haveat least one kid . Will they extend my mental ability for love beyond my imaging ? Will they change my entire humanity ? Will they bug me to buy IMAX tickets for Untitled Avatar Sequel Number 4 ?

And then there ’s the darkest opinion of all .

By the destruction of 2027 , both my parent will be 76 . If they ’re still alive , there ’s no guaranty they ’ll be healthy . When 2028 arrives , I just go for I ’ll be capable to look into my female parent ’s centre , tell her I have sex her , and let her cognise that James Cameron ’s strange cat - people ambition is eventually stark .
