The original trilogy has inspired the prequels, books, comics and the Disney era of Star Wars. How much longer can they milk the sacred cow for?
Disney star wars, which I thought was alright, not as good as the originals or maybe even the prequels, has not advanced the universe in anyway except to Disneyfy the franchise. It's a reboot that takes a nostalgia trip. At least with the prequels it explores an era and has a classical design for the technology etc based on the OT and expands the universe aesthetically.
The OT for 16 years were the only Star Wars movies we had, this made them special and to this day most fans regard them as the best. In the space of 5 years we get 5 movies rolled off the Disney production line.
When you look at other popular franchises that have had their glory days and are just going through the motions to collect money then hit a wall of heavy criticism from the fanbase, is there a point where a popular franchise needs to die or should Disney keep trying to make Star wars movies?
