Star Wars - does it have a future?

[Brian37]

In the original context that a lot of the fan base have been thoroughly disappointed with the sequel movies, especially The Last Jedi.

Since I originally made this thread before before The Rise of Skywalker, The Mandalorian, and the last season of Clone Wars were released.

Yes, they may continue milking it so long as it makes money (Disney did pay over 6 billion dollars for it), and I think the current leadership team is heading in the wrong direction.

Only those who are making the animated series and, to a lesser extent, the Mandalorian, seem to have any idea about the lore and history of the SW galaxy.

Also remember that there were originally plans for nine movies.  Lucas just stopped after Revenge of the Sith because of negative fan reactions.

Wait? I thought Lucas cut ties with the franchise after the first 3? My memory sucks of course, but the only thing about why he got so rich off this franchise was because he made a toy deal, and the original backers of the movie didn't think the original would do that well.

I can remember as a kid/ early teen collecting all the Star Wars Trading cards and even mailed in for the "Early Bird" special which was a multiple pack of action figures. And that was right after the first movie came out. 

But again, I had no clue Lucas had a 9 movie deal.
