Star Wars: Episode VIII has made the jump to lightspeed, moving from its original release date of May 26th, 2017 to December 15th, 2017.
As we all know, December was a very friendly month for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and it looks like Disney is looking to continue moving these films away from the summer blockbuster season, establishing a new Christmas tradition of box office dominance. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, is already set to open on December 16th of this year, so this new date change makes Rian Johnson’s Force Awakens follow-up the third film in as many years to set its sights on the Christmas holidays.
This sets the stage for what should be an interesting power struggle, with Warner Brothers set to release Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One also on December 15th, 2017.
