The only mistake Disney admits to having made with Star Wars, according to Bob Iger

Star Wars fans can not complain about not having enough content in this universe these days. Before the prequels, Star Wars went through a drought. For although the stories were broadcast in novels and comics, there were no movies or TV shows to scratch on this Star Wars itch. Now, though, there could be too much Star Wars, and Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger is entirely responsible for this mistake in a new interview. By stepping back and looking at the big picture of Star Wars, Iger admits:

Bob Iger spoke with The Hollywood Reporter, addressing all the important issues for the media giant, including the new streaming service, the acquisition of Fox and the leading brands at play at Disney. And when it came to Star Wars, THR asked if the production of future movies would slow down, Solo: A story of Star Wars underperformed, by each metric.

The unspoken thought about Star Wars is that Disney finally wanted to get to a point where they were catching up with Marvel Studios and publishing two Star Wars movies a year – one in May and one in December, ideally. This feeds the story that Solo: A story of Star Wars kept its release in May, although Ron Howard probably should have used more time in post-production, because Disney wanted to see how a Star Wars movie could happen in May. You suppose that a Star Wars movie might open on weekends, but a criticism Solo did he come out too soon after Rian Johnson Star Wars: The Last Jedi… a sequel that some fans have rejected.

So, Star Wars is not bullet-proof, and Bob Iger admits that Disney has learned that he could not just produce an old Star Wars story and that he's not going to be able to do that. wait for the fan base to appear and throw money into it. Quality always counts, so the Disney CEO says he'll go back and think about what's going to happen AFJ J. Abrams & # 39; Star Wars: Episode IX concludes the new trilogy that was launched with the force awakens.

A number of projects are on the radar. In addition to the saga Benioff and Weiss, Rian Johnson has a series of stories that he develops for film, and Jon Favreau has a story of Star Wars that he brings to the streaming service. Dave Filoni brings The clone war back to the animated side for Resistance to Star Wars. There is a Boba Fett movie in the ether. And Ewan McGregor is ready to play in Obi-wan, if someone calls him. We're going to cover Star Wars for the foreseeable future, but it's refreshing to hear Bob Iger admit that Disney would have put his cart before his steers, and that it's braking slightly on all those stories in a galaxy far, far away. .
