[QUOTE="monkey_roo, post: 558688, member: 2414"] Sadly I am not sure Disney do have the money - sure they are far from broke - but they are a company with a fair few problems right now. Ignoring what is going on in Florida where they appear to be at war with the state itself. Revenue may be up thanks mainly to avatar and strong park returns, but earnings are down around 30%. Chapek made a lot of changes quickly back in 2020 which unsettled the company and now Iger is having to address that and restructur again. I am sure I read Disney+ while having good growth has still lost the company around 4Billion and subs will have to go up and more pay models being looked at - which could have an adverse effect on viewer numbers - when you look at Neilson numbers for the US Disney shows aren't really making an impact except for Bluey - kids love that dog - and technically it isn't even Disney content - it's acquired) - Netflix dominates the streaming charts. All of this impacts their creative slate - it is one big organism and if too much of it is hurting there isn't the funding to spend years developing story worlds and in fact other IPs are fighting for a smaller pot (Toys Story 5, Frozen 3 all announced etc.) - There will be more SW in all forms, no question - but will Disney learn from their mistakes or will they crank out film or show at a time and look for each to hit a mark before moving on to the next etc. Incidentally they should look at Paramount and how they are treating Star Trek - Picard is exceptional and exactly how a beloved cast/characters should be treated - IMO :) [/QUOTE]
