The obi wan series should be good the clone wars animated was fantastic. rogue one was incredible. SW is in its best place ever and they are going to open up new storylines now that the sky walker saga is closed.

Because the tension is real. You don't know who is going to die and who won't. Sure the latest trilogy tried to bring back uncertainty by killing off at least one key character per film, but it just wasn't the same.

I understand a couple more Trek series are in the works, one to be released in August, an animated series called "Lower Decks."

Just saw a preview trailer, looks kind of funny.

Many old series and franchises are simply running out of gas.

The Simpsons
Law and Order
DC superheroes

and such.

Star Wars with its original and prequels was enough. Disney took a corpse and went all necrophilia on it for more money thus ruining the franchise all together
