I am more or less talking about the universe aspect. Also no in more recent years they have not always been about the original storyline. Look at the Mandalorian coming out later this year. You have the Star Wars TV show series as well. Yes they all build off that original story but they add new characters and go to new places not seen in the 9 Skywalker saga films. Star Wars is and should not be limited to the Skywalkers. Its a universe.
One difference is Marvel has always been a Universe. Right now Star Wars isn't, it has always been focused on the Skywalkers and the empire vs the rebellion.This is the end of the Skywalker saga. That was always known. Anything going forward would be new stories. I don't think of it as overkill. This is like Marvel. Its a universe, lots of stories to tell. People aren't obviously burned out by Marvel.
That is true. I just think because it is a universe they can expand the stories quite a bit.One difference is Marvel has always been a Universe. Right now Star Wars isn't, it has always been focused on the Skywalkers and the empire vs the rebellion.
Many of the Marvel characters could be named or recognized by people who had never read a comic before any move was released, I don't think the same is true for Star Wars.
Not saying it can't work, but I am disagreeing that it is already a massive universe and people will be interested when they pivot away from the main arc.
Star Wars really does not need to be focused on the Skywalkers....however, if there is anything about Star Wars, it is the presence of Wars. Regardless 9f how good or not any future SW story is, tv or movie, if there aren't wars going on between good and bad, dark and light, then the universe shouldn't be called Star Wars anymore. Star Politics? Lucasverse?One difference is Marvel has always been a Universe. Right now Star Wars isn't, it has always been focused on the Skywalkers and the empire vs the rebellion.

This move was Disney. They wanted SW and Avatar to alternate.I'm just a little upset that Avatar 2 is delayed yet again! I don't know if that's on Cameron or Disney. I love Avatar and want more! I'm all in for whatever Star Wars comes our way of course.

Well the other issue in using any character that was around during any of the 11 movies is the main story has already been told. Any new movie with those characters will only be a side story.Star Wars really does not need to be focused on the Skywalkers....however, if there is anything about Star Wars, it is the presence of Wars.

I see your point, but, just because that story is finished doesn't mean it is the only compelling story. About filling gaps, I don't think it is necessary, although it would be nice. The Solo film falls into this category. It was nice, but not necessary. The Rogue One film was similar, but what was so intriguing about that one was that although we obviously already knew the end of that story, it was from a very different perspective - that of just a war, no Jedi or Force (yes, there are references and those awesome Vader scenes, but they were basic asides). Stories can be set within that timeframe from the perspectives of bounty hunters or villagers who have no care about the outcome of said Star Wars, but just how it affects them either financially (bounty hunters) or personally (villagers). Where did the First Order come from? How is Rey so powerful? Who is/was Snoke? These are questions people have now, but they can also be asked of many characters across timelines and light-years that we have never encountered. Personally, that's one of the reasons why I loved Last Jedi so much. Took a huge wide angle lens.Well the other issue in using any character that was around during any of the 11 movies is the main story has already been told.

I'm not saying it can't work, I'm just saying it is different than Marvel.
I personally wish they'd fill in the gap between 6 and 7, with or without the Skywalkers. I'd also be fine with an old republic series. But if they did a series based on the X-wing books, I don't see many people getting into it because the end of the story is already known.
I continue to be disappointed that nothing ever happened with sequels of Rockeeter. I it like better than ANY of the Marvel stuff. It's one of my all-time favorite movies.

Rocketeer should definitely make a comeback!
If I’m mistaken it’s going to have a presence on Disney+.
More Star Wars films??? We love Star Wars, but honestly, the side story films haven't really done much for us.
Yeah I'm amazed at the Avatar plans. Honestly, I really don't feel that warranted a follow up, and I think it's going to be pretty hard to build interest in a saga, 12 years later. Seems more like they're just trying to build interest in it, to justify Pandora?
It may be a more global thing. That's where the film made a lot more of it's money proportionally.Star Wars I can understand (although there is a danger of saturation there) but is there really the demand for all those Avatar sequels?? I've not heard anyone mention the original film outside of the context of the WDW land for years
