The Star Wars movies under Disney ’s purview have rate fromexcellent expansionsto the dealership toperfectly fine — opinions may variegate of course , but there has n’t really been a generally ill - received one . There has been quite a luck of them though , witheven more on the agency . But Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger allege that maybe we can start out to expect them to spread out go onward .
Speaking to theHollywood Reporterin a wide - cast consultation — covering everything fromDisney ’s upcoming streaming serviceto what theacquisition of Foxmeans for Marvel ’s movieverse going forward — Iger state that the current rate of one Star Wars film a year is a bit too much for a franchise that had laid dormant at the box office for almost a decade before2015 ’s The Force Awakens . It would seem that after Episode IX hit theater next year , lover will be waiting a bit to see more from the galax far , far off on the big filmdom :
I made the timing decision , and as I face back , I think the mistake that I made — I take the blame — was a trivial too much , too fast . you’re able to gestate some retardation , but that does n’t mean we ’re not gon na make films . J.J. [ Abrams ] is meddlesome have [ Episode ] IX . We have creative entities , including [ Game of Thrones Creator David ] Benioff and [ D.B. ] Weiss , who are developing saga of their own , which we have n’t been specific about . And we are just at the full stop where we ’re gon na take up make decisions about what comes next after J.J. ’s . But I imagine we ’re gon na be a lilliputian bit more careful about mass and timing . And the buck stop here on that .
This is perhaps probable down to the fact that the most recent tone ending , Solo : A Star Wars Story , “ merely ” did decently at the box power . It was n’t a fizzle like some well - excitable peoplewould like to pipe , but it was n’t blowing up box office records like a to the full - gird - and - operational battlestation blows up peaceful pro - Rebellion worlds like many ( including Disney ) have issue forth to anticipate of a Star Wars motion-picture show . Turning Star Wars movies into upshot alternatively of an yearly happening is a good agency to get people excited for any Star Wars , whether it ’s a mainline flick , a Star Wars Story spinoff , or one of theupcoming , more out there movie planslike theRian JohnsonandBenioff and Weissprojects .
But it ’s also a unspoilt mind because it will , hopefully , allow for more wide-ranging Star Wars material to be made . A even , ceaseless oscillation of annual Star Wars means that it ’s easy to get trapped into a cycle of movies that , aesthetic or tonic tweaks away , loosely cover standardised Star Wars - y thing we already know and love — because that ’s what works — leading to a samenessthe franchisedesperately demand to avoidif it wants to keep expand and thriving like it has been .
Plus , it ’s not like that have in mind there ’ll be no Star war around just because the wait between movies is draw long . Part of the strength of the post - Disney Star Wars era is that the franchise ’s existence beyond the liberal projection screen is more vivacious and lively than ever , withbooks , telecasting shows , andcomicsfleshing out the universe in slap-up ways on a regular basis . So even if you ’re not go to be come a Star Wars movie every year , there ’s still going to be plenty of the Galax urceolata far , far out to go around .
