sounds like Disney wants to take a page from Marvel's book and make 2-3 Star Wars movies per year, focusing on individual characters

as long as they get talented writers and directors, i'd be fine with this. it's definitely milking the franchise for all it's worth, but as a huge SW fan if it's done right then everybody wins (especially if this means we get to see the Rogue Squadron series on the big screen, or even KOTOR)
