TechInsider reporting that 6 Star Wars films will be out by the end of 2020.
Movies include sequels in the ongoing line (i.e. what Rey and friends are up to next), Rogue One, a spinoff about young Han Solo, a spinoff about Boba Fett.
What do you think, 3.5 readers?
My first concern is I wonder if Star Wars’ success hasn’t been a case of “absence makes the heart grow fonder.”
When I was a young adult, I cheered for the prequels because I was just happy to see lightsabers on screen again. Years later I look back and realize that yeah, those movies sucked. Revenge of the Sith wasn’t bad though.
But I wonder if maybe the time between film releases helps us to love these movies more.
Maybe too many will cause us to lose interest. Like that love interest you’re pining for, you want her so bad but once you get her you realize there’s a person in your house cutting her fingernails everywhere. Yet when she goes away you want her back.
Then again, Marvel has been riding high on since 2008 when the first Iron Man was released. Disney’s purchase of and oversight of Marvel has made those movies a success and to date, I have not grown tired of them despite there having been so many of them.
Iron Man 3 was the only stinker, in my opinion but hey in all those movies, one dud is inevitable.
So maybe Disney can keep Star Wars coming and keep us riveted. They seem to know what it takes to keep the kids happy and buying merchandise and keep the adults from complaining that the film hasn’t become too cutesy.

Agree. I am only tangentially familiar with Marvel comics characters but the movies are GREAT entertainment, especially the Captain America films. If Disney puts out quality like that with the Star Wars films then I don’t see any possibility of oversaturation.
They’ll do good. I think eventually they’ll get to the point where they can’t go on forever but they aren’t there yet.
I think Disney rescued Star Wars. George Lucas struck gold with the first three, but nearly killed the series with the next three.
Too much CGI
And too much Jar Jar Binks.
