You need to read lords of the Sith and Tarkin in the mean time.

Both tie into what happens.

From a business sense this is an obvious move. It's possible a few more months to work on the film is helpful.

If the script gets revised a bit to increase the role of several compelling and incredibly successful characters that's probably a good thing, provided some hack writer isn't brought in to do it.

2 years is plenty of time to see some self destructive tailspins like Harmless during the Lightning Bolt release. I look forward to it.

I'm not really concerned, they did the same with TFA. I think the original goal was too ambitious. More time to make sure they get it done properly.

I did t think so either and was really cautious but Tarkin is so well written and Lords of the Sith is a great read, you actually get to see Vader and the emperor kick some ass.

Avatar 2 has been pulled from Christmas 2017. As successful as the first one was they know they're never gonna catch Star Wars if they open the same time. They've left this franchise go too long off the boil I reckon.

Does a Cuban sandwich have a name? I had one in Chicago once. It was very good. I thought it was called something.
