A New Star Wars Movie Every Year: Don’t Fret

So Alan Horn over at Disney stated at Cinema Con in Las Vegas that there will be a new Star Wars movie every summer. I am sure many fans are flipping out in a negative way about having a new Star Wars movie every year, but the anger is premature. As a Star Wars fan myself, I am looking forward to what Disney can do with the franchise since they have already done wonders with another we worried about.

Don't fret about a new Star Wars movie every year.

Don’t fret about a new Star Wars movie every year.

Remember Being Worried About Marvel?

I remember a recent time in history when Marvel fans flipped out about Disney taking over the House of Ideas. We all remember the pictures of Spider-Man with Mickey Mouse ears and Donald Duck with green feathers. Fans fretted about Disney making Marvel a cutesy brand and driving it right down into the ground. What ended up happening? The comics have not been neglected and the movies are pretty damn good.

Marvel Movies

We should not worry about a new Star Wars movie coming out each year because Disney has been able to pull off multiple Marvel movies in a short span of time. “Captain America,” “Thor,” and “The Avengers” all came out in rapidly short succession without a hitch. We are going to be seeing two or more Marvel movies come out in each of the upcoming years. Why can’t Disney be successful a new Star Wars each year?

The Plans We Have Heard

We have heard talk about a new trilogy and at least two spin-off movies. The trilogy parts can come out every two years and the spin-off can fill in the off years. Instead of fretting about a new Star Wars movie each year, we should be hoping for spin-off movies of our favorite characters.

The Possibilities

Personally, I would love to see Disney do a movie from the perspective of the Storm Troopers on the Death Star. I would also love to see a movie based on the stories found in the short story books “Tales from Mos Eisley Cantina” and “Tales from Jabba’s Palace.” Let the smaller characters have time to shine on the big screen. The possibilities are endless if we have a new Star Wars movie each year. Which movie are you hoping to see?
