Marvel hasn’t been about diminishing returns. In fact they seem to be the only ones capable of creating trilogies where the third film doesn’t taper off and in fact is the highest grossing of the three. Thor Ragnarok is holding this trend years after so many are saying there’s superhero fatigue.

I predict that this new trilogy will act as a 'buffer' between episode 9 and a new 10,11,12 trilogy. They know that a large part of the excitement over The Force Awakens was a build up of nostalgia. Since they are committed to pumping out movies each year from now until forever, they're not actually going to have any 'downtime'. But they can spend about 7 years letting Rey/Finn/Kylo/Poe age a bit, and then have a big hyped-up return for Ep 10.

2017: Ep 8
2018: Solo
2019: Ep 9
2020: Kenobi?
2021: New Trilogy #1 ?
2022: Solo 2?
2023: New Trilogy #2 ?
2024: Boba Fett?
2025: New Trilogy #3 ?
2026: Solo 3?
2027: Ep 10 (Hey, that'll be Star Wars 50th Anniversary too!)

And on, and on...

You're forgetting the inevitable "team-up" Avengers-style film where the characters from Rian's new trilogy meet with the characters from the Sequel Trilogy like Rey and Finn

Will they learn?? Learn what? That because you're not interested they should stop what they're doing? There's no burn-out with Marvel MCU....

Well Marvel works because it's a bunch of different characters and different stories. Star Wars was complete linear story that they're adding onto and blowing up every little piece of. They're trying to turn Star Wars into Marvel and I'm not sure that'll work.

No, Star Wars is just being Star Wars. The business model they've had since the continuity reboot is basically just a more managed and interconnected version of the Expanded Universe they had going for decades. The only difference now is that the sort of stories saved for Expanded Universe gets to extend into television and film rather then just remaining in books, comics and video games.

Yes, but that's the key difference. Most people considered the Star Wars story to be the numbered movies and that's it. Only Star Wars geeks knew or cared about the books, comics, and video games as part of the overall story. Now, by making all these other movies, Disney is trying to change that.

A ton of people were confused about Rogue One and thought it was the "next movie." Especially confusing when they aren't putting roman numerals on 7 8 and 9.

And if I'm feeding the corporate machine so be it, I'm nothing short of wildly excited for Black Panther. The trailers make me want to run through a brick wall or 9.

I'm pretty over new Star Wars at this point. The novelty of the films existing in the 2010s has worn off and I'm now waking up to the future that the franchise is going to be milked forever until the end of time. Even just going to the parks and seeing the massive splurge of Star Wars stuff makes me go "ugh" now.

I'm with you, somewhat. I don't mind the third trilogy. It completes the Skywalker saga, which, depending on which version of history you want to go with, is what Lucas originally intended. ;) What I just cannot get behind is every flipping popular non-Skywalker character getting their own movie, or trilogy of movies. It's overkill. Personally, I don't need or want a Han Solo movie, or trilogy. I don't need or want a Boba Fett movie. An Obi-Wan Kenobi movie?? Come on... Do they have plans for a Palpatine movie? What about Chewbacca? General Veers? Grand Moff Tarkin? IG-88? Bossk? The Rancor? I saw Rogue One, but my life as a Star Wars fan would still have been complete if I hadn't. It was a movie based on a singular event that didn't have anything come out of it. The phrase "Some stories don't need to be told" is a phrase that is verboten within the walls of TWDC, it seems. If there's money to be made, they're gonna do it.

I'm also not a fan of SW merchandise being everywhere in the parks. Again - Overkill. What's available in stores is bad enough. I guess I'm a fan of the "less can be more" approach, but since that doesn't make Disney any money...

I'm certain there are a lot of people who will happily open their wallets for those movies, and that's perfectly fine. I simply won't be one of them.

I had much higher hopes for JJ Abrams and episode 7. Once I got over all the "feels" of the opening credits, the Falcon reveal, and the Haan and Leia meet, I got very sad that that was their big opening to the real star wars universe again.

May I ask what issues you had with the film?

Very uninteresting protagonists. Another death star.

Granted I was informed by a friend right after they wrapped filming that the movie was supposed to be completely different. Thanks to a few of the actors, the story wasn't allowed to proceed as planned.

First off, art is subjective so of course everyone will get something different out of movies, however I have to strongly disagree with the characters being uninterested. The 3 new main characters (Rey, Finn, Kylo) all have traits which are new to the series. Finn is a solider who breaks through his brainwashing to discover courage and the good within him, Rey starts out as a traditional "good guy" but by the end shows some sparks of darkness that may develop later, and Kylo is a whole package of insecurity and untrained power wrapped up in the shadow of his grandfather, thus creating a unpredictable and frankly fantastic new villain. Also all three have developed arcs which pay off through the narrative, unlike Rogue One where the characters are "stock" at best and flat out non existent most of the film.

I totally get the problem that people have with Starkiller Base, yes it is totally another Death Star. For me it was not a deal breaker since the focus of the climax was on the interaction between Han and Kylo which then shifted to Rey and Kylo. Setting up their characters for the next film. At least George Lucas's saying about poetry, how "they all rhyme" is true for all three trilogy's beginnings with a Death Star being destroyed.

Most of episode seven was uninteresting.

Especially for those who saw episode 4 when it first came out. Talk about a predictable rehash.

Rogue One was surprisingly enjoyable mind. IMHO of course. Perhaps 8 will please everyone.
