[The release of Star Wars: Episode VIII has been delayed
from May 2017 to Dec. 15, 2017, the Walt Disney Co. announced Wednesday. ]

Greedy Feckers
making new Plastic toy gear in China
may be the delay as well.

Already posted. Avatar has been pushed back too.

I'm more surprised by the fact that it had a summer slot, not surprised at all that it's been pushed back.

Yep. It's not a "Summer Blockbuster" - they've seen how well ep 7 did over the winter / Christmas release period and want to follow the same route next time. It's probably that simple. I reckon rewrites will be an excuse.
