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.
