BBC News - New Star Wars film yearly from 2015
I'm kind of conflicted by this, on the one hand I get pretty sick of the yearly video game releases (
Assassin's Creed and
Call of Duty being the biggest offenders), but on the other hand the
Star Wars universe is so vast and there could be so much going on that it could be interesting. I mean in the 4 years from
Iron Man to
The Avengers you had
The Incredible Hulk,
Thor,
Iron Man 2, and
Captain America and each of those movies were vastly different from a thematic and tonal sense while all still in the same universe.
Disney has at least shown with their Marvel stuff that they're willing to try to do fanservice while still making a movie with guaranteed return and I can't help but think they'll do that same thing with
Star War. Even if the older fans finally get fed up with yearly installments, there will always be a new generation of children who don't have the same emotional attachment to the original or even prequel trilogies that older fans have.
I dunno, I still really want to remain optimistic that this won't turn into an even worse debacle than the prequel trilogy, but even I have to admit that yearly installments seem a bit much.
