It has recently been reported that Disney apparently wants a brand-new Star Wars game every six months, and that may not be a good thing for the brand. Previously, EA held the exclusive license to Star Wars which led to the creation of Star Wars Battlefront and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. The studio has since lost this exclusivity, and many developers have begun crafting their own unique experiences in the galaxy far, far away.
Now, it seems that Disney wants to further ramp up this effort by churning out new Star Wars titles on a regular basis. This idea can be very exciting for fans who want to continuously explore one of their favorite sci-fi franchises, but it also has a very high chance of failing. It will lead to all sorts of new Star Wars experiences, but there will be so many titles that a new Star Wars game will no longer feel special. It could also lead to titles that are just not up to par with others as Disney demands a quick turnaround, and all of these games could just muddle a brand that has already drummed up some controversy in recent years.

Ever since Disney bought Lucasfilm, it has been trying to expand the franchise with all sorts of different projects. At first, Disney wanted to adopt a similar model to Marvel Studios and release a Star Wars movie every year. These plans drastically changed once Solo: A Star Wars Story underperformed and showed that fans just were not interested in that much Star Wars. The plans have now shifted to multiple live-action Disney Plus shows, and the question of oversaturation is being raised yet again as Andor begins, and The Mandalorian prepares to release its third season.
