Some space and time

I’d like to see Disney learn the law of diminishing returns. What made Star Wars special was that the originals came out in 1977, 1980 and 1983. Other than the holiday special there was a decent chunk of time between each movie. There was also very minimal spin off material, Ewoks and Droids cartoon series’ and a few terrible Ewok spin off movies. Then next to nothing until Phantom Menace

Again, well spaced movies for the prequels and not an over abundance of spin off material. Despite some of the quality being poor for the prequels, it still felt very special. Then we get the sequel trilogy… Suddenly the gaps between the movies drops to 2 years rather than 3 (which in my opinion is why it’s a general mess) I’m between the main movies we get spin offs (I love Rogue One by the way)… And then a constant stream of series. There’s just too much content, Star Wars feels like another franchise. It doesn’t feel special anymore. Lucas for all his failings understood that his cash cow needed to be looked after.

Disney [is] just flogging it for all it’s worth. They need to slow down! Because fatigue is very real. We’ve seen it in the MCU (which I personally never enjoyed, but people who did are now getting sick of it). Maybe put Star Wars on hiatus for 3 years. Let us catch up on things we’ve missed or just take a break…please.. I promise people will be more invested if this happens. —someone_else
