Star Wars Episode VIII Wrap Date Confirmed - Unlikely To Appear At Comic Con?

You can always rely on Mark Hamill to reveal something juicy about Star Wars. He's an engaging presence on Twitter and though he definitely has a lot of fun with fans on there, when he's in the mood to share, he does so.

His latest revelation concerns the wrap date for the as yet unnamed Star Wars Episode VIII:

In itself, that's not a massive revelation, though it's always nice to find out such set details. What is interesting though - as ComingSoon point out - is that July 22nd is the second day of San Diego Comic Con, which all but confirms that the film will struggle to have much of a presence there.

By then, of course, we may actually have a title for the film, since Star Wars Celebration precedes it by a week in London, so that too might complicate matters. Maybe we should just expect to see a focus on Rogue One (which wouldn't be at all surprising since it's still the next Star Wars film in the works).

Episode VIII will probably pick up a lot of focus at Celebration, since Mark Hamill has an hour long panel and Rian Johnson will appear as part of the film-makers panel (alongside Pablo Hidalgo, Kathleen Kennedy, Kiri Hart and Chris Miller and Phil Lord).
