I mean, I can see where they're coming from - the only two unambiguous successes of the Disney era are Rogue One and the Mandalorian (so much so that it's literally the only thing keeping D+ relevant), and COVID has everyone in a panic about the future of the industry. From a lizard brain safest possible move perspective, "More Rogue One's and Mandalorians on Disney+" make sense
It's just, you know, the lizard brain safest possible move.
*EDIT* Basically, I'm worried that Star Wars is gonna turn into Ultimate Marvel. When Ultimate Marvel started it was cool and exciting, a chance to reboot the Marvel universe on the ground floor. Writers got to remix all the best elements of the the 616 universe and spin them into cool, new ideas. And for awhile, it worked! And then they started to basically only remix and rehash the 616 stuff, or try and
The Mandalorian right now is like, Ultimate Spider-Man. It's a cool, small scale view of a clearly remixed/Ultimate EU kind've vibe (Rebels laid a shitload of the groundwork for this). It's just...do I really wanna see a live action remix of Dark Forces? I mean, I'm sure all this stuff will be well made and well produced and all, but a Star Wars that does the same thing as the Mandalorian (on a conceptual level, I mean) sounds like a smaller Star Wars.
