To put it another way, do you really believe Disney is content to not make theatrical Star Wars movies anymore?

No, it doesn't. The Clone Wars series had a huge audience

Citation needed. And what is "huge" specifically? I would guess more people have seen Solo than have watched The Clone Wars.

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 it was so popular Disney cancelled it before it was finished? (Before you explain to me the circumstances of the cancellation of Clone Wars, I'm being facetious)

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

Yes, how ridiculous of me to make a prediction about the future of Star Wars, in this thread about the future of Star Wars.

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.

I guess I missed where Disney told their shareholders that they've made enough money on Star Wars.

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.

So I guess I didn't read all those stories about disappointing attendance at Galaxy's Edge? I was going to link some, but you can just google "Galaxy's Edge attendance" and click literally any link that comes up.

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

I mean, I imagine it has to do with making money.

But it was a disaster for Disney when TLJ didn't make as much as TFA?
