Same with the videogame industry. And the music industry.

Why invest in innovation when the 'recycling the commercially successful until you've bled it dry' model works so well?

I know. But theres lots of whinging saying theres no money to invest in original films anymore.

There clearly is... Its just a matter of not taking the risk.

They have a ready made Thrawn trilogy - it should be done.

Good books those, hope they use them as a basis

Disney have done excellently with Marvel since acquiring it from Stan Lee or whoever. Star Wars is my favourite set of films ever, so i'm naturally made up there'll be another trilogy,the films played as much a part in my pre-teen childhood as Toy Story did. Disneyworld has had the excellent Star Wars weekends for years now, so this buyout doesn't surprise me.
