Here, we counted the time from the purchase of the rights to the premiere of the third part of the latest trilogy. The production of films itself lasted even shorter.
In 2012, Disney acquired the rights to the revered franchise, which teaches that sound is audible in vacuum. You all know this famous series – it tells about a religious sect of guys in potato sacks who leap from planet to planet, using weird syntax to talk about the Force and swinging RGB swords. Quite a few things happen along the way; someone is born, someone dies, there's betrayal, love (not always quite legal), and the conclusion is a huge battle and a parade of winners. And that's been going on for 43 years.
In 2012, however, things were not so colorful with Star Wars. We have not seen a new film from this series since 2005. The prequel trilogy left a certain void and it was difficult to find new hope. When Disney acquired the rights to the franchise, they could do whatever they wanted with it.
And they did. Three films of the main series and two spin-offs were a chance for a fresh start of the cult franchise, and at times, we could almost be fooled. Unfortunately, eventually the Last Jedi, and then The Rise of Skywalker assaulted us with so much cringe, that if it wasn't for Mandalorian, probably nothing could have wiped our tears.
Hey, seriously, Disney – what was that charge of space cavalry all about?
