The Sequel Trilogy / Re: Star Wars Sequel Trilogy Speculation

Disney did pay $4 BILLION for the franchise. I suspect that they want to monetize ownership of Star Wars as much as possible, and that's got to mean LOTS of Star Wars films.
The modern film franchise model has changed remarkably over the past few years. The Harry Potter film franchise in particular generated 8 films and grossed over $7 Billion worldwide. Disney has to be looking at what Warner Brothers did with the HP franchise as a model for how they might handle Star Wars going forward.
