1: To make it simple: We just don’t have as many people as we need yet. While we have a pretty big team already, it is just not quite enough in many situations. We are obviously working on changing that, but such things take time. We hope you understand.

2: We explained already that our movie is not neccesarily canon. We have an idea as to when it is supposed to be set, but we are ignoring what’s happening afterwards, because if we wouldn’t do that, we would have to restrict ourselves a lot with the story.
But those things where already valid before the delay.
