Disney has announced that Star Wars: Episode VIII will move from May 26, 2017 to December 15, 2017... No real reason was given as to why the film was being pushed back.. Rumor has it the project is set to undergo some re-writes, not sure if that has anything to do with this move..
I never really understood why the studio wanted to keep the May 26 date, considering how successful The Force Awakens was in the month of Dec... Plus Disney already has Rogue One set to land in theaters December 16th of this year.. You would think the studio would come to realize that Dec should be Star Wars month! Maybe they have? Soooo all those lingering questions you had after watching Episode 7, will just have to wait a little while longer...
