Part 8/11:
At the core of this uncertainty lies Lucasfilm's executive decisions—particularly those of Bob Chapek and other studio leadership. Rumors suggest that there may be internal conflicts, with some suggesting that Chapek’s focus on profitability and risk aversion might be influencing the delays and project cancellations. The studio seems to be hedging its bets, possibly wary of losing more money on high-profile projects that may not resonate with modern audiences.
Interestingly, amidst all this, there are whispers about a potential Star Wars: The Old Republic movie, which could take center stage if the current projects continue to stumble. This classic era of Star Wars lore remains a fan favorite and might offer a safer bet for studio executives seeking to recapture the franchise's magic.
