Sources indicate that the problems stem from creative disagreements between Steven Knight and Lucasfilm executives. Specifically, Knight's struggles with the screenplay—where he reportedly received numerous notes that forced him to restart from scratch—have contributed to delays. This friction is not new; Lucasfilm has frequently experienced issues with writers and directors, with several high-profile departures over the years.
