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. |

So IX is currently on pace to bring in more than $100 million less domestically than did VII. It's currently about $95m under. Edit: Holy crap! Someone just pointed out to me that IX ($479,451,123) is only about even with Rogue One ($479,124,415), and trending downward faster. Last edited by Just Passin' By; 01-14-2020 at 07:26 PM.. |

IX's domestic take has now fallen well behind that of Rogue One. It will outsell Rogue One globally because of its higher foreign sales, but this has still got to be concerning for Disney.

Unlike TLJ, in which Lucasfilm expected at least $1.7 Billion, their expectation for RoS was right around $1.2 Billion. They also realized that millions of people will sign up for Disney+ once RoS is available, which of course provides another revenue stream. |

With the massive success of Avengers: Engame, Frozen 2, Aladdin, Lion King, Toy Store 4, et al, Disney grossed more than $6.4 Billion at the Domestic box office (and more than $10 Billion worldwide) before RoS was released in December 2019, so there wasn't an enormous amount of pressure for the film to make or break Disney's year. Also, they were locked in to the release date, which left them zero options. When I reported back in November and mid-December that the film was still in the edit bay, I wasn't exaggerating. They literally stopped work on it the Saturday night before the Monday premiere. Would 3 more months have made any difference in the box office results? We'll never know but from what I've heard, I'd say that's a hard "No". |

Bob Iger: The Priority In The Next Few Years Is Television The release of “The Rise of Skywalker” last December ended the nine-film series about the Skywalker clan. It also led Disney to, Iger said, “take a bit of a hiatus in terms of theatrical releases.” ---- I recall someone posting this info back in November... |

So apparently Emperor Palpatine isn't the only dead character to be resurrected (maybe)?
