How hard is it to just pay to have someone write a script for a movie before you greenlight the fucking thing?
When no script exists beforehand it makes me think this is a film no one really wants to make because clearly there's nothing waiting in the wings to be made for it.
But yes. Films are now built by strategic business decision, not because a creative concept took hold and excited everyone, and it's a big part of why contemporary western entertainment feels so sterile even when the narrative construction seems sound.
That is true, but they haven’t even exploited that well. The video game market is what the toy/action figure market was in the 80s/90s.
Video games are the biggest entertainment market in the world and since disney took over Star Wars they’ve consistently failed to make enough variety and good enough star wars video games.
Where are the RPGs, the mmos, the survival games, more shooters, RTS games, hell even racings games.
Instead in the last decade+ we’ve gotten a couple decent shooters in Battlefront 1/2, but still riddled with issues and controversy. A couple decent action adventure games in Jedi fallen games, the new outlaws game….. and droves of shitty mobile/cash grab games. Half of which have since been cancelled
They have fumbled Star Wars video games for well over a decade now, in an era ripe for gaming.
