Star Wars post Skywalker
Project Luminous? Rumored to be Star Wars pre Skywalker era, but rather than Old Republic era it will be so-called High Republic, about 400 years before the Battle of Yavin (which means Yoda is alive...) and it may start with a video game next year before branching out into print, TV and eventually film. Basically sounds like, instead of doing trilogies, they're going to try to go the route of the MCU.
Couple different sources initially out with leaks about this yesterday, and it's starting to spread wider today. https://makingstarwars.net/2020/01/t...-republic-era/ https://ziro.hu/english/exclusive-pr...-of-star-wars/ https://www.slashfilm.com/the-future...ct-luminosity/ If this is real it should be announced by Disney in the next few weeks. We shall see. |

Also I want to point out, I said 100-200 years. So Chewie, the droids, and the Millennium Falcon are all still on the table. |

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. |

It's nearly impossible for sequels to earn more money at the box office than the original film. It would be foolish for any studio exec to expect that Matrix 4, Avatar 2, 3 & 4, etc. will out perform its predecessors (although Matrix 4 has the best opportunity in this scenario because the original was released in 1999). RoS won't likely top TLJ but that doesn't make it "Loser" in the eyes of the studio and regardless of what the internet thinks, topping $1 Billion at the box office is amazing and somewhat rare, even when factoring in today's inflation.

Day 19, 2018: $7,876,574 The two runs are 5 calendar days off, and that might be having some impact, but the overall numbers are still way down. IX, to date: $458,541,607 VIII, to same day: $539,388,403 There's nothing to indicate that there's $90m to be found in a 5 day adjustment this far into the run. |

I understand there are multiple revenue streams for a property like Star Wars, but I think the theatrical films are still the most important piece. They're the thing that dictates where the franchise is going. You can do whatever TV shoes, but to me, when you ask what the future of Star Wars is, you're asking where they're going with the movies. To put it another way, do you really believe Disney is content to not make theatrical Star Wars movies anymore?

Glad to see more feature films are coming. Hope they do a better job with them. The new trilogy was mostly trash. If it didn’t have the prequel trilogy to be compared to it would be reviewed even worse, imo.

Dane doesn't want to deal with the Tit-For-Tat horseshit, he wants everyone to acknowledge that he is always right about everything and then shut the **** up. God forbid someone has an opinion that disagrees with him.

No. I'm not going to "argue" with someone's "opinion" and snarky remarks, especially when that person or persons isn't speaking factually. I work in this business. I provided a massive amount of information about the production and its problems several weeks before the film was released, all of which was factually correct and proven after the release. I also provided quite a bit of info about the future of Star Wars in that thread, which was clear and precise. I'm not doing the "tit-for-tat" thing in which I'm constantly arguing a person's "opinion". If you don't like it, you know what to do with yourself. |

Disney spent more than $1 BILLION on Galaxy's Edge in Orlando and Anaheim, which basically equals the cost of three Feature Films. They've invested in three new Live Action TV series and the 7th season of their extremely popular animated series, The Clone Wars. There's at least one more Live Action series in development along with another animated series. Quote:
Maybe this report about the High Republic becomes true but if so, the deal happened the last two weeks of December, which would be unusual, to say the least. It's not just about the feature films any longer. TV, comics, books video games - those are the key to future theatrical success. People aren't going to just show up because the words Star Wars are on the marquee. Quote:
Now, 8 years later, Season 7 will premiere later this year. Considering that The Clone Wars series aired on the Cartoon Network for 5 years, then Netflix for the following seven years (and The Disney Channel from time to time) before being pulled in April 2019 ahead of the launch of Disney+, I'm pretty certain that it's been seen by more people than saw Solo. Quote:
It's a thread based off of a well-known Star Wars "insider" in Jason Ward, who lives in Long Beach, CA and has provided real insider scoops the past several years. Quote:
No one is fretting over Disney's profits. Quote:
We're Disney Annual Passholders. We've been multiple times since Galaxy's Edge opened and despite those "reports", the lines have been atrocious. As a family, we've waited as long as 2.5 hours to ride the Falcon. We entered the park at 8am one late September morning and I went directly to the Falcon while everyone else went to Pixar Pier. The Single Rider line was 45 minutes long by 8:30 am and by 10am, it was 90 minutes. Disney doesn't issue Fast Passes for Galaxy's Edge although you can make a reservation for the Cantina. But, if you don't make it before 9am, forget about getting in that day because people will wait in line for 6 hours or more just to get in. Quote:
TFA more than doubled what Disney initially expected from Episode VII, as did Rogue One. TLJ still made a massive amount of money although Solo barely broke even at the box office (but has done well on Blu Ray/Digital/Streaming). Disney re-adjusted their earnings expectations in the mean time and they're more concerned about the future of their IP than making a quick buck at this point in time. |

The last two days XIII: 9,574,199 IX: 4,569,083 There is that 5 day calendar difference between the two runs, so maybe there will be a bigger bounce back than there was at this same point for XIII. But, in the meantime, the difference continues to increase, and is closing in on $100 million domestic. XII: $548,962,602 IX: $463,110,690 |

Well again, people are just starting up theirs normal routines again. Don’t get me wrong, I expected it to do worse. I just wouldn’t bother too much with using this week as my evidence. But clearly, I have a different way of looking at things than most. So what do I know?
