The stories set a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away should be special events, and the easy way to make that happen is just to slow down the production line.
It’s been strange adjusting to getting a new Star Wars title every year since 2015, but the franchise pushed that concept to the breaking point releasing Solo just a little over five months after Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
And while Marvel Studios may be able to release three films a year, it shouldn’t be the goal of Star Wars to be like Marvel.
The notoriously intense secrecy severely limited the marketing capability, and fans simply didn’t have time to anticipate it.
