I could swear that Disney had learned a lesson about flooding the market with MCU content - and they've cut back substantially to focus on quality over quantity. But given this, I guess it was Marvel Studios that took the lesson, and Lucas Film decided to take the opposite approach. πΆβπ«οΈ
The Star Wars IP is still pretty new for them, so this might be more akin to surveying the media landscape to find where to drill down deeper. They will cut back, but only when they have identified a profitable and concrete course forward.
An expensive, scattershot-style experiment I guess. It's certainly... a choice. But you're right I'm sure.
I'm glad to see Mandalorian getting a film for sure. And in the course of this discussion, I have discovered Skeleton Crew and if it's a Mando spinoff, I'll certainly have to watch that now.
