That value decreases if you sit on it when you could be making a profit from it. What does EVENT in all caps even mean? It's an EVENT if a lot of people show up and buy tickets no matter the time period between EVENTS.
I don't want to see too many Star Wars movies

The value doesn't decrease if you sit on it or are selective, they got more out of the deal than just star wars license, indiana jones, ILM and soundworks as well, ILM and soundworks alone pay off instantly on inhouse sfx work for all of disney's productions. With Indy and SW, the value is in maintaining the quality of the properties or in Indy's case restoring the quality of the property.
Like I said SW had 6 movies in 40 years, Disney is on pace to put out 5 movies in 8 - 10 years, that is over exposure and can hurt the long run value of the property in my opinion.

If Lucas Film made 15 successful movies in that 40 year span it would have been even more valuable that what Disney paid for it. It only gets hurt in the long run if people stopped going to see the movies as much and it had diminishing returns.

Lucas had 2 IPs of value Indy and Star Wars, ILM was the production house of value that made money instantly as well as soundworks, they were going to get the 4 billion back either way , its manner of how they get it back.
It is my opnion they are doing it the wrong way with overloading the property, too much too soon. It isn't like they ahd to go the marvel route of establishing a universe, they bought one of the most established film universes available, not its like they are just putting things out under the banner so consistantly that eventually it will have a negative impact as a whole IMHO.

You think people are less likely to see future movies due to volume?

Yes, I think at the rate they are pushing out these movies and already the shakey quality of the movies TFA being terrible and R:1 being above average, when all the prequel retreds and TFA storyline finishes they might have dragged the star wars brand off its purchase of being an event film product.
Yes. I haven't seen it a second time yet but after 1 viewing I liked it better than TFA.
looking forward to seeing it again this weekend.
In overall SW ranking, It's probably 3rd or 4th

I agree
But we are a small minority
Most ppl loved TFA
A movie being better than the prequels is a pretty low bar
Good I'm about to go see it and was debating whether watching this or Assassin's Creed
Poetical Poltergeist
Precise and cold hearted
Well they already made 2 billion off a remake of a new hope. probably another Billy off Rouge 1... so at this point, it's all about money and star war nerds will eat it all up anyhow. Han Solo getting a movie, then Pizza the Hut, then we will see how Yoda became a jedi, then a prequel to the prequels etc.
Yeah I'm a very causal SW fan and I enjoyed it.
Crazy how sw has this big following and only like 3 of the 8 movies are any good

I'm sorry but having 1 movie a YEAR still makes it an event every year.
Plus the ACTUAL star wars movies are really 2 years apart, with the "junior" star wars movies in between.
I say it's fine, and as long as they're good keep them coming.
