They could have renegotiated the terms of the agreement.  So maybe they were losing money and the new agreement changes terms in a way that is more favorable.

I think the phrase "extended agreement" just means there is a continuation of the licensing, but the royalty rate, etc. may have changed. 

Probably a lot has changed in the consumer market since the last time they signed an agreement...

Hasbro Extends Long-Running Strategic Relationship with Disney Consumer Products for Premier Star Wars and Marvel Franchises

"Under the extended agreement, Hasbro will continue to develop a wide range of products for families and fans of all ages, based on the iconic brands. This includes bringing characters from the Star Wars galaxy to life in action figure form through the highly popular lines, The Black Series and The Vintage Collection, as well as engaging new generations of fans with Lightsabers™ toys and other kids’ and preschool toys themed around characters from Darth Vader to The Mandalorian."

I guess all the rumors about Hasbro losing money and wanting out were just click-bait fodder for the youtube trolls...

Hopefully, but when was the last time anyone went back to charging less for something? 🤔

Sadly, I think nearly everyone is going to die.

I have yet to watch it, but that's my thought as well.  The sacrifices and deaths will be a motivator.

I watched them all too and enjoyed them but wasn’t blown away. I feel like maybe I was hoping to see more of a build up to the Sienar heist and could have probably stood less wedding stuff.

I felt the same way.  Good, but not great.  But to be honest that is how I felt about Andor season 1 as I was watching it live.  It wasn't until the whole thing was done that I really felt the genius behind some of the "slower" segments and how it ultimately tied together so perfectly.

I'm going to try and withhold judgement a little bit based on my experience with season 1.

My mild gripes that will probably turn out to be irrelevant when its all said and done:
- I did feel the rebel group on the moon of Yavin seemed a little slow and unnecessary, but maybe they needed Cassian to be tied up (literally) while stuff was happening to Bix and crew.  I think the point they're trying to get across with the Ferrix refugees is that there really isn't anywhere to hide in the whole galaxy, so you might as well fight.
- Not sure I like the Dedra / Cyril relationship, but I'm guessing it will matter somehow later.
- Agreed the wedding stuff seemed a little long, but again I'm guessing this is setting the stage for Mon Mothma's character development, or at least Luthen being "the cleaner".

Sad to see Brasso go, but we really should have put a betting pool together for the over/under on how long all of the characters other than Mon Mothma and Cassian would last.  Sadly, I think nearly everyone is going to die.
