By the time Taika Waititi's untitled Star Wars film hits theaters in 2023, it will have been four years since the franchise has been on the big screen.
The company has instead created series such as "The Mandalorian" and "The Book of Boba Fett" to tell stories set in a galaxy far, far away over a longer period of time on its streaming service Disney+.
Star Wars television shows have helped bolster Disney's fledgling streaming service by drawing in subscribers who are devoted to the franchise, which has rung up $6 billion in global box-office receipts. This year at Celebration, Disney touted its upcoming slate of television series, including "Andor" and "Ahsoka," which are about popular supporting characters from previous stories. The first season of "Andor" will have 12 episodes and will premiere in August.
Star Wars fans have always had divisive opinions about their beloved franchise. New movies, in the views of fans, have been both too tied to past ones and strayed too far. New characters draw a similar amount of adoration and loathing from fans.
