One of two things happened here.
1) They realized they needed more time with the movie to make some finishing touches and to make sure it is absolutely ready.
2) They saw the Red Supergiant sized success of Episode VII was considerably due to being released in the holiday season and they want to take full advantage of that again for Episode VIII.
Or both.
Either way, I can wait. I loved Episode VII, it was my first Star Wars movie and it convinced me to go five the other 6 a go and really take interest in the series.
So I'm fine with the delay... Not sure about my uncle though. Him, my aunt, and their 2 kids are huge Star Wars fans, they're probably crying as we speak. lol
