Disney is terrified to create a new Star Wars film. The famously risk-averse studio is lost after the polarized reception of The Last Jedi and near-universal revulsion at The Rise of Skywalker. Consistently ignoring the only viable solution of handing the Star Wars license to talented filmmakers to make unique projects with reasonable budgets, Disney has instead chosen to rely on their only popular recent character. The Mandalorian & Grogu might be a safe choice, but it could still be compelling.
