If only Disney and Lucasfilm had not destroyed the Star Wars Trilogy characters, they would have made more money and made more people, especially their investors, happy.

The last three movies made more than a billion each. I think their investors were happy.

Agreed, @Rolf Anderson: …

*- “The Mandalorian did well for one reason. Luke Skywalker. His appearance in the finale of Season Two crashed Disney Plus from the huge demand of views. If only Disney and Lucasfilm had not destroyed the [original] Star Wars Trilogy characters, they would have made more money and made more people, especially their investors, happy.”*

… including the whole ‘fan-base’ that came along with their purchase from George Lucas. Not calling the article or someone’s retort ‘an untruth’ but routinely posting unjustified-claims of Disney!’s StarWars success & statistics or, trying to a create a positive ‘spin’ for what appears to be some corporate shilling after midnight is one way to sneak in some ‘alternative” ideas? So, a ‘retort’ to @12:37am and the above article is forthcoming. . .

‘Common knowledge’ is Hollywood over-inflates ‘box-office sales’ in relation to it’s ‘actual productions costs’. In Hollywood’s version of a “break-even” for investors, (and all the other ‘wheels that are greased’), there needs to be a 4:1 ratio of BOS to APC.

Sure, the 3 Disney SW sequels reported a combined $4 billion “box office” for its current (China) investors and to attract other potential, future investors.

- “The last three movies made more than a billion each. I think their investors were happy.” -

Yet, the same 3 ‘Disney! StarWars’ films reported over $1 billion in production costs, and ’re-shoots’ to try to ‘fix’ their butchered narrative.

By the above 4:1 ratio, Disney may have, ‘barely’, broken-even for their investors.
