    It’s The Guardian, so .. consult your handy “Yes Minister” guide to newspapers before trusting too much.

    That said .. it looks like The Mouse has decided the Star Wars cow ain’t givin’ as much juice as they’d hoped.

    Shall we start wagering on whether we’ll get Episode IX?

        1. Well, according to this TLJ made the company about half a billion dollars.

          Which is a lot less than did TFA, probably, but Disney probably doesn’t have anything lying around that could bring in more money than that, or even a three hundred million profit flick. The MCU is already inflated as much as they dare, and Pixar produces hits reliably but not predictably. So I expect that Episode IX will have all the budget it wants, and then they clamp down on the whole thing and try to reboot.

          But I’m a guy typing away at home. 🙂

            My guess is Episode IX gets made .. I’m wondering what the schedule is.

            Disney has some *serious* work to do after the “Solo” debacle to get their money maker shaking *properly* again .. See the Treasure Island link above ..

            I think they know Solo blew it … I also note that sometimes, when this happens, Disney retools and does just fine .. (see “Black Cauldron”, which was excellent in some ways, but represented a nadir in others) .. and sometimes they shelve stuff and wait.
