I'm just one person, but I didn't feel the need to rush out on opening weekend for this one, and I'm a pretty big Star Wars fan (and LOVED Last Jedi) but honestly JJ Abhrams taking the reigns actually lowered my enthusiam. (He's a very good film-maker that has a hard time sticking the landings on stories.) We'll see it this weekend.

My take on it is that Disney will be slightly disappointed, but I think they were already very concerned with what to do with Star Wars going forward. The Mandalorian aside, the fact that they are holding cinematic Star Wars movies until at least 2022 says something about that they are not sure what to do next with it. I won't say they will be disappointed if it makes it to one billion dollars, but they need to figure out the future. My thought is they may go to "lower" budget Star Wars movies for a bit. The reason is that Mandalorian if you look at it is a not big budget spectacle except for a few scenes, yet it has struck a chord with fans that the movies have mostly failed to do.

They won’t be going lower budget on Feige movie.

I think Iger realized Lucasfilm was a mess after TLJ, production issues with Solo and Indiana Jones never getting restarted. That is why we see Feige and Favreau placed in prominent spots with future Lucasfilm projects over the last 18 months. Those are guys that Iger trust to minimize production issues, keep the vast majority of a fan base happy and to make money.

Interesting! The article isn’t accessible by non-subscribers. How is the land described? Is there a map? Disney owns golf courses on the east side near the Four Seasons, and there’s undeveloped land there too.

Its near Flamingo Crossings and includes a sizable lake. I wouldn't read too much into yet as Disney often buys and sells land but it is news worthy nonetheless.

Indeed. It’s not a huge space as these things go; it’s smaller than Epcot.

Always interesting though knowing how Disney has that agreement/practice to keep so much of the land they own as undisturbed or at welands, etc .... So whenever I see something like this makes me wonder if the plan is to keep this undisturbed so that they can work with other land they have

I'm sure that is codified in law. Here in NC any development that includes disrupting wetlands requires offset. Be it moving the construction, relocation, or purchasing additional land designated as wetland.
