Iger’s Departure From Disney Could Alter the Future of Star Wars

Via CBR.com:

Now the former CEO of the Walt Disney Company, Bob Iger’s legacy will undoubtedly be the consolidation of some of the world’s most popular intellectual properties. Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars…he went after them as if they were Infinity Stones. And they might as well have been, considering how powerful they’ve made the mouse-eared media conglomerate.

The transition from Iger to new CEO Bob Chapek comes at a time that was already pretty transitional for most of that IP. Pixar has taken a break from branching out its most beloved franchises, at least for now, in favor of original plots and characters like Onward. Marvel Studios just successfully wrapped the most ambitious decade-long cinematic endeavor of all time and is choosing to put resources in limited-run TV series. On the heels of the mixed success that was The Rise of Skywalker, the supposed final chapter in the Skywalker Saga, Star Wars is headed in a new direction as well.
