You don't seem to understand new media

No, it doesn't. The Clone Wars series had a huge audience and we "knew" what happened to Anakin, Obi Wan, Yoda, etc. It was so popular, in fact, that Season 7 of The Clone Wars is set to air later this year, eight years after Disney initially cancelled it.

So, you can see the future, eh? If so, you're in the wrong business, whatever that may be.

Good grief. Disney paid $4 Billion for Star Wars and they made their money back (and more) after the release of TFA, R1 and TLJ.

That's not to mention video games, merch and of course, Theme Parks. I'm guessing you haven't been to Disneyland or Disney World since Star Wars Galaxy's Edge opened last year but the lines are outrageously long and Fast Passes aren't allowed.

And this was before the latest ride, Rise of the Resistance, opened at either park.

I'm not trying to be rude but you have absolutely no idea "why" Disney purchased Star Wars.

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about when referring to this quote.
