    I've become accustomed to the December releases now. Will be disappointed when the films move to May. So much potential for marketing over the Christmas period too. I can only assume they're beginning to plan for two films a year.

    People have actually been suggesting this??? Boyega is (and has always) clearly loving being part of the GFFA. If it relates to the TLJ panel, I found myself thinking all of the cast seemed slightly subdued, but they don't need to be bouncing around the stage like goons all the time surely? Boyega is for real.

    I'm with you here, it's been my Christmas tradition for the past two years, SW in the cold winter. Sigh, I'll miss that build up to Christmas :(

    Absolutely!

    ...As a teacher there is nothing better than getting a host of Star Wars gifts from my class!

    Either way, through the discussion before, Star Wars will do just as well at the Box Office whatever month it comes out. We all know there isn't a fandom out there like it!

    December release can be a new anthology movie moving towards a new direction, or set up new trilogies. May releases for previous timeline stories. This will bring balance to the Force, haha.

    There's a legion of disenfranchised Finn fans who think Boyega is mailing it in because he's upset with the character

    So, they saw The Last Jedi to come to this conclusion?

    It's just ridiculous. It's a pure projection, there is no better and enthusiastic advocate of Star Wars than Boyega. I don't know what people expect from him. To jump up and down the Celebration stage screaming "Are you entertained?!"

    Well they act like they have. It's a bit sad really.

    Check the Finn threads.
    It's a doozey

    I wonder how much of this is related to a possible writer's strike in 2017.
    They must feel pretty good about EIX starting and finishing on time regardless of any writer's strike.

    They may be staying away from December because they think some projects (not necessarily a Disney one) currently set for release between April and November 2019 will be delayed (I'm looking at you DC Films) and go for that December.

    Or they plan to release a new Star Wars TV show in the Fall of 2019.....

    I personally prefer SW films being released in May.

    I think LFL prefers May releases because they'll sell more kids Halloween costumes (the movie having been only 4 months ago instead of 10) and they can release the full spread of toys from the movie long before December 25th, instead of keeping them under wraps until November and then kids not seeing the movie until about a week before Christmas

    Frozen 2 is releasing on November 27th 2019, so they may want to focus people's attention on that film.

    I'm sure such a behaviour would end in some kind of a lawsuit.

    It's because they just want to be more original than quoting someone who's not a "source" ;)

    I wonder whether Star Wars avoiding the Avatar Sequels has something to do with the deal that Disney struck to have an Avatar theme park at Disney World. Maybe it was one of the demands of James Cameron (or whoever owns the rights to Avatar), or maybe (in order for the theme parks to be a success) Disney simply needs the Avatar Sequels to succeed and therefore tries to stay away from the dates occupied by the Avatar Sequels.
