As a casual nobody who isn’t super into Star Wars but dig it for it’s cultural relevance, I think there’s so much this franchise could milk out.
OP, your problem is you’re viewing the franchise from the lense of the movies. But as someone who only saw Episodes 2 and 3 in theaters and a little bit of the new stuff I can assure you people still want Star Wars stuff.
Idk to me the movies just feel like a small part of the larger universe. When I think of Star Wars I don’t really think about Luke and Anakin I think more about The Empire and The Republic, Sith and Jedi, Light and Dark.
Those general themes on a galactic scale are more than enough to keep people coming back for decades.
So basically even if the new movies suck they could announce a new Star Wars movie tomorrow and I would at least be interested in seeing what it’s about.
As a casual fan the possibilities really do feel limitless but your post makes it sound like the story is dead.
