[QUOTE="Henadic Theologian, post: 9041054, member: 7030526"] Star Wars WAS a profitable brand, but each Disney Star Wars movie made less money, but Solo the last Star Wars movie, made like 1.6 billion less then the first Disney Star Wars movie, so they stopped making them and switched to streaming. That worked for awhile, especially with the success of the Mandolarian season 1&2, but rescent Star Wars (Andor and Mando season 3) had their viewership absolutely crater. To make matters worse, SW rival Star Trek is growing in popularity again, Amazon has some huge sci fi plans with Stargate and Warhammer 40k, and I think its Warner Bros who are doing the Babylon 5 thing, with an animated movie and a rebooted series going. Heck Disney itself contains a major competitor in the Orville. Indy Dial of Destiny is projected to have 60 million opening weekend, which is a disaster. Willow TV show got pulled, so Lucas film increasingly has dimishing value at Disney, but because of its legacy has value as a product to sell. There is even a rumour the perpective buyer is George Lucas himself, possibly supported by smaller investors. Its internet rumours so it could be wrong, but I don't see how Disney can pay for Hulu without drastic measures and Disney has no choice, but to buy Hulu contractually,so it almost doesn't matter how Lucas Films was doing, they may have no choice but to sell it, even of it was doing alot better.
