Honestly, I think they were in a "damned if they do and damned if they don't" type of scenario.
They probably had several investors to answer to and would have taken a financial loss if they had delayed the film.
Plus, 2018 is already as crowded as it is with several big blockbusters, most notably Infinity War, coming out this summer as well.
And I think that if they had delayed this even further than people would have lost what little anticipation there was for this film from the start, due to the loss in momentum.
I'd agree, but there was really no momentum at all. The cast was doing the heavy lifting of doing the promotions themselves. Not a squeak/peep from the directors, producers, or the studio. Also, no cast appearances on talk shows? JL came and went with barely a whisper. It was really sad to see.
