Today, Disney and Lucasfilm announced that Star Wars: Episode
VIII, originally scheduled for release in summer 2017, will now debut on

The move follows the extraordinary success of Star Wars: The Force
Awakens, which was the first Star Wars movie to premiere outside the traditional
summer blockbuster window and smashed numerous records, including biggest
domestic and global debuts of all time as well as the biggest domestic second
and third weekends, en route to becoming the highest grossing domestic release
of all time with over $861.3 million and the third biggest global
release ever with $1.886.7 billion.
Written and directed by Rian Johnson, Star Wars: Episode VIII is
currently in preproduction and will begin principal photography in London next
month. Kathleen Kennedy and Ram Bergman will produce and J.J. Abrams, Jason
McGatlin, and Tom Karnowski will executive produce. Stay tuned for exciting
updates in the coming weeks.
