I believe those two won’t be core to Disney for long, especially under the regime of Iger's successor. Star Wars fans are hating most of the newer content anyway.

Star Wars is doing fine. I am a Star Wars fan who has enjoyed a lot of the new content. Mandalorian...Andor... Bad Batch....Ahsoka...Skeleton Crew... even I dared say.... even the Acolyte was fun and I would have watched a second season.

There is a loud contingent of online "influencers" for lack of a better word.... that like to complain endlessly and gatekeep about woke Disney and Star Wars. Luke and Lucas are the only things they care about. But the numbers and the subsequent merchandise speak a different story and I would hasten to say they (Disney and Filoni) are doing very well to grow and expand the brand.

Okay, then.

There certainly are. And they keep repeating---over and over---that Star Wars has failed. But it seems to me that it would be odd for a company to continue to invest in a failed franchise in the form of films, series, and entire theme park lands. Very odd.

So, who is more likely to have an accurate picture of the success or failure of the franchise: A bunch of random people who are upset* that the leads are not the right sort of people? Or, the company putting hundreds of millions of dollars on the line?

*: Of course, they will give all sorts of other reasons why they believe the franchise has failed. But if you let them talk long enough, eventually they tell on themselves.

Goes on about how having ABC/ESPN and their incorporation with Disney+ creates marketing synergy for all aspects of their company efforts.

Speaking of this, I spent the day watching NCAA basketball, because that's what you do this time of year, and well there was no less than 15 Disney Cruise Line commercials from the Wish to the Treasure to even the Destiny.

Got to get those dads!
