It seems Star Warshas learned a critical lesson that Superman (2025) director and DC co-CEO James Gunn understands well, and that's why Star Wars' upcoming movies are actually going to work. It's true that Star Wars movies and TV shows have struggled over the years,

When James Gunn was deep in post-production on Superman , everything was falling into place… except for one nagging issue… audiences were loving what they saw, but they weren’t fully grasping the world they were stepping into.

Take A Minecraft Movie, for example. One of the highest-grossing new movies of the year debuted in theaters on April 4. It was later released on HBO Max, aka one of the world's best streaming services, on June 20. That means 77 days passed between Warner Bros' movie adaptation of Minecraft landing in cinemas and joining HBO Max's movie library.
