Episode VIII will mark the return to the Memorial weekend release date.

Wow! A mere year and a half between main films.

I figured this might happen. Alan Horn had said the later movies might return to a May release date.
Only half as much time between "Episodes," eh?

I just hope all the new films, spin offs included are not hastily thrown together rush jobs.
All the other films took 3 years each to produce.
Maybe its possible since Disney has enough money and a huge studio that Lucas did not have.
I almost don't buy that though since Lucas was and is worth billions.

I was happy enough we didn't have to wait 3 years between the main films, but now year n a half, well :)
Assuming they already have a general outline for VIII, it sure would help themselves a lot and be a great time-saver if they can manage to store away and port over any necessary props/set/models from TFA. Sure beats having to rebuild them from scratch again (such as the Millennium Falcon, if we see it again).

It will be cool to read the really in-depth, behind the scenes dirt on this period. Some articles out there have mentioned a big power struggle between JJ Abrams (who wanted Bad Robot to steer the ship for all these sequels and spinoffs) and the Disney/Lucasfilm side of things, with Abrams losing.
In the meantime I'm weirdly fascinated by the different reactions out there, especially my favorite crackpot blog, the Prequel Appreciation Society, rejecting the spinoff because the writers didn't pass the Star Wars purity test (they said mean things about the prequels).

All I can think is that we've gotten two big announcements on the same day and we're only a month away from Celebration Anaheim.
Could they be getting this news out of the way now because they're saving the really big news (OOT on blu-ray) for the convention???

Unless somebody inside Bad Robot or Lucasfilm pulls a Deep Throat, we'll probably never hear what really went on.

Speaking of the "purity test," wasn't Rian Johnson pretty outspoken about the SE's?

^Yep.
Also, if his comments in this interview he did with Christopher Nolan is any indication, he'll be trying to use even more practical effects than JJ, including rear projection instead of green screen.

Oh, wow. This is a thing?
Glancing through their website, I came across the following choice entry:
I love the prequels because they’re wonderfully made, have gorgeous imagery and sound, great storyline and fascinating characters, deep and complicated. The prequels offer a widest range of feelings and thoughts to the viewer, make you cry and laugh from joy, open your eyes to things you could never imagine without them.
The prequels enrich the saga and the whole cinematography with new situations, possibilities, choices, new levels of wisdom that unites different lands and times, new multiple colors to the kaleidoscopic variety of life that is reflected in the saga, the variety that reaches harmony in the saga taken as a whole.
I love the prequels because they’re a part of the saga that changed my life for the better, that makes me feel like I have wings. The saga that would be lacking something essential without any of its episodes.
I have no words.

What have I said about starting trouble with other websites?
This is getting needlessly provocative.

I laughed at 90's cartoon version.
The blus are actually worse than the 97 Cartoon version.

Do we know when they'll start filming Episode VIII? If they haven't started already?

Well, they're filming Rogue One as of right now. I'm guessing they wouldn't start principal shooting till the beggining of 2016. But they concieveably shoot some second unit starting late fall.
I'm just not sure whether they'd want to start principal filming before TFA's release, given just one little overhead set photo could spell possible spoilers if they aren't careful enough.

That's a good point. There's already speculation about Hamill returning since he was seen sporting a beard recently.

Heh, when do we start the Episode VIII *SPOILERS* thread?
