With the mountainous costs of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge highlighting the company’s third quarter’s results, Disney+ could be a cushion for the fourth quarter, allowing Disney to claw back some lost profits.

Another silver lining presents itself in building up a large subscriber base ahead of release: it would be a good way to make up for the downtick that Disney Parks have been experiencing in terms of visitors.
