By Scott Mendelson, Contributor Disney announced two days ago that their new plans, having previously purchased Lucasfilm for $4 billion, aren’t just to make a new trilogy of Star Wars episodes, nor even to make a few spin-off films set in the same universe. No, they are planning to make one Star Wars movie every single year, with off-shoot films alternating with official new ‘episodes’. How much Star Wars is too much Star Wars? The idea of a new trilogy of Star Wars films, set to debut ten years after the finale of the prequel trilogy, is perhaps also exciting, even as J.J. Abrams replacing George Lucas as the proverbial leader of this specific universe calls for cautious optimism (Is Star Wars without any real input from George Lucas really Star Wars? Discuss…). But how long will the casual fans remain excited about the prospect of new Star Wars films when they appear as frequently as Thanksgiving dinner for years and years on end?
