Part 7/10:
Behind the scenes, Disney’s strategic missteps are evident. The company had reportedly considered re-theming the Galactic Starcruiser with The Mandalorian, confident that the series’ success could revive interest. Yet, their reluctance to pursue this option, combined with the poor reception of recent Mandalorian seasons, made it clear that the franchise might be beyond rescue.
In fact, Disney appears to be more committed to writing off these failures for tax purposes rather than investing further. The company has taken significant tax credits by categorizing the Star Cruiser as a complete loss—a financial move illustrating just how little confidence Disney now has in its Star Wars investments.
