The odds are still great that the currently-untitled Star Wars series will be a major hit and perhaps one of the biggest draws of the new streaming service, but I wouldn’t be shocked if there are some folks a little nervous about the budget.
Game of Thrones’ ballooning budget over the years happened after that show proved it was the hottest thing on TV and people would tune in no matter how many people are killed off, and the box office for Solo proved that not all Star Wars investments pay off in huge ways.
On the other hand, the live-action show is slated for release on Disney’s upcoming streaming service, which has yet to launch and therefore prove whether or not people are willing to pay for Disney content as they would for Netflix or Hulu.
