Let’s just say it’s a fairly odd coincidence that Star Wars will be taking a break from the big screen just as these new streaming series are debuting.
Lucasfilm may truly be taking time to re-calibrate and find a new direction for the franchise, but the fact that fans looking for more Star Wars will need to subscribe to Disney+ is no coincidence.
Disney wants everybody and their sister to subscribe to the new service, and that means every Star Wars and Marvel fan the company already has.
