when will episode 8 of star wars come out
E-mail. Disney. We don't even (for sure) know what The Force Awakens is about yet, but now we're already getting excited for its sequel. Star Wars: Episode VIII will be released on May 26, 2017, meaning the film will debut 40 years and one day after from the release of the 1977 original. It also means fans will only have to wait a year and a half after The Force Awakens to see what happens next.
