I'm pretty sure most of these shows were originally either movie scripts, or more likely outlines. The rare stand outs just happened to have directors that were also good writers or had some kind of desire to create a good story.
Yeah they really do, I don't think it's impossible to adapt a movie script to a TV show but they need to put the work in to do it instead of getting it created so as to boost Disney plus
I think the lack of planning for the sequel trilogy really made the fan base question the movies but I think they have the potential to do it, they need to actually put in the effort though!
Yeah I can't help but wonder if they thought stretching the mystery out over multiple weeks would boost streaming numbers? I feel like it would have been much better received as a movie
@@SackyIRE i could see that if there was a mystery, but they revealed their hand in the first episode. i feel like u could easily take the show and cut it into a movie and it could be decent with everything they already shot. Cut out like 50% of the dialog
It probably has more to do with Covid and the Hollywood strikes than fear over Solo and Dial of Destiny flopping, but you can't rule that out with budgets ballooning. Can a 300 million dollar movie break even? Deadpool 3 had the return of Hugh Jackman and is a huge event and is sitting at 800 million. Billion dollar films are much harder targets now.
In my opinion if your movie is hitting a budget of 300 million then you've fallen at the first hurdle. The acolyte had a 180 million dollar budget, which doesn't make sense to spread over 8 hours of content instead of 2. Apparently Dune 2 had a 190 million dollar budget so it is possible, it's just Disney seems to throw money at problems instead of taking their time to execute it properly
There are no movies because nobody would go to the cinemas to watch them and Disney couldn't hide that fact. With streaming, they can lie about viewership.
I didn't consider streaming numbers as a factor, that being said if they have a good concept for a movie I think people would see it, if they marketed a high Republic star wars movie well (and the movie itself was good) I think that would get the audience in
@@SackyIRE At this point, there is no way they can make a good Star Wars movie. And even if they somehow miraculously did that, nobody would watch it, because they lost the audience. Just look at Andor, it was great, but hardly anyone watched it.
That's true, it would take time and a few good hits in a row to get the audience back. Also I think Andor has a similar mistake to Solo in that it's a character who we've already seen die, so I think it's harder to get an audience on board with that caveat in place

Because they are in shambles and can’t produce good starwars to save their life

acolyte was very clearly a movie that was drawn out to be made into a show.

It wouldn't surprise me if someone online tries to make that kind of edit 😅
@@SackyIRE give it time. fan edits the only star wars worth watching nowadays

@@SackyIRE , that is why the Mando movie is supposed to be 120 million, we shall see if after marketing it doesn't hit 200 million.
I'd be shocked if they stick to a 120 million budget for Mando, I'd love to see it though given how ridiculous budgets are now
