Let’s be clear! We are very well aware that the Star Wars franchise is one of the most successful and thriving film franchises in the world, and there is no denying it. I mean, who would have thought that when its first film made its debut in only forty-two theatres back in the year 1977 that it would, still to this day, be flourishing even decades after its release. Not only that, even the thought of making deals with two substantial film companies (.i.e. Walt Disney) for more than $4 billion must have seemed unimaginable to them. But the George Lucas Franchise did achieve all of it. Moreover, they get more than they would have ever thought they could earn from their new creation.
Considering the integral factor that its first film subsequently engendered several prequels, sequels, stand-alone films, animated films, television series, and merchandise globally. Which, more or less, validates that this franchise possesses an enduring appeal and that said appeal has brought them trillions of dollars from around the world.
Thus, seeing that the franchise is still valuable to people of every colour, country, culture, gender, race and age, it finally decided to come back with a new series on the streaming platform; Disney Plus.
