Star Wars fansite Jedi News has heard from “a very trusted source” that Episode VII is currently in pre-production under the pseudonym Foodles. If you’re wondering where the name comes from, it’s a reference to a Disney-branded line of healthy snacks. As for why Disney chose “Foodles,” of all names, for Episode VII, I have no idea. More than anything else, it sounds like a lost creature from Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2.
The same tipster indicates that Disney been at Pinewood Studios for three and a half months already doing pre-production work for Episode VII. Additionally, Disney’s recently signed a deal booking the space for the next ten years. Episode VII won’t occupy all of that time, of course, but it will take up a good chunk of it in the near future. Shooting will reportedly get underway in August, several months ahead of the “early 2014″ schedule we’ve heard about before.
