Why is the star wars creative universe so creatively bankrupt?
>>15566952
Hackfraud producers and studios trying to recapture lightning in a bottle and the impact that the first two films had in their times.
The wealth of merchandise sales and consumer fanaticism in general has also lessened the need to branch out with new ideas. Why bother when you know anything you put out is guaranteed billions in return so may as well rehash rehash rehash. Especially now with Disney in control. They're going to find a working formula and stick with it as long as they can.
I think videogames are the only medium where people have any sort of real creative freedom with the franchise, where they can address issues the new movies don't touch on, but even then there's EA and other bloodsucking publishers to deal with.
Though that all begs another question. Do we really need more Star Wars? I for one am satisfied with just having Empire Strikes Back, both Clone Wars cartoons, and Jedi Outcast.
I prefer ewoks

Companies will only shut something down when it's no longer profitable. If people keep paying for Star Wars tickets, merchandise, ad space, etc. then it will continue to exist.
I really think it should have stopped after the first movie, but my opinion is irrelevant

It seems to be fate of anything popular.
Your description fits so well on gundam too.

>no longer profitable
I read online a couple of years back somebody saying the shareholders report put the early estimates of Star Wars operating at current levels for forty years.
>>15569152
That's a rather low estimate given that the franchise already has been profitable for forty years and it's almost as big as it was when it first began at the moment
I love me some walking tanks.

I wish DICE would do a 2142 DLC for BF1 like how they did the Vietnam DLC for Bad Company 2.

The days of the ewok tv movies were pretty grim.
Realistically though what's out there for a franchise running full speed for 80 years, much less longer?
Sherlock Holmes has gone longer of the top of my head even if he shuffles in and out of the spotlight, but there's not a whole lot to use as a barometer so I'm not sure exactly what they're basing the future out of.
>>15569251
A lot of universe to keep plunking out video games, comic books etc into I guess
Maybe make another tv show a few years down the road, or more movies in another decade. Never stop selling those lightsabers and stuff.
