Originally slated for a May 2017 release, it's now been moved back. Gives them a few more months of polish and allows other Disney backed films some room to breathe in the summer.

Well, if it makes the movie better, I'm not complaining.

No surprise here. TFA made gangbusters over the Christmas holiday. Of course, Disney will of course want to cash in on this.

Only six?

I'm just annoyed how long I've had to wait to see Sequel era Luke in action. That's why another 6 months seems long for me because I've already been waiting 3 years for that!

queeq
Oh chill, will ya... SW used to be three years apart. Now only one! (or two when it comes to the sequels).

Good. Shouldn't rush this film anyway.

Back in my day we had to wait 16 years for new Star Wars. These kids these days, can't even wait two.

...and avatar 2's release date will be moved. yeah they know better.

Marketing battle.

Lord Lucien
Isn't it odd that the top three highest-grossing films--Titanic, Avatar, and The Force Awakens--were all widely released Dec. 19, Dec. 18, and Dec. 18?

Maybe it's not that odd. Winter time in the Western world... people looking for entertainment indoors.
