Part 3/8:
Reed dissects the production costs of several key Star Wars properties, showcasing the costs per minute of finished photography. For instance, she notes that the costs for The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and other films soared upwards of $2-4 million per finished minute, while the Acolyte, another upcoming Disney plus series, is speculated to be around $750,000 per minute. Meanwhile, the cost per finished minute for Andor clocks in at an astonishing $6 million, but based on the show's extensive runtime of over 1,000 minutes, this provides a more favorable comparison against other productions when evaluated correctly.
