It is conceivable. Despite the saturation of the Marvel movies they always had different characters, different conflicts and while inhabiting the same universe there was variety and a more than a bit of well placed levity.

The current Star Wars movies have just felt so.....heavy, if thats the right term.

Balancing the nostalgia for the old movies, characters, fan service, it just feels like the weight of expectations is ludicrous.

I guess I kind of feel like these last three tentpole films are just trying to end the last cycle of Star Wars as opposed to starting a new one.

Maybe 'fatigue' isnt the right word but unlike the Marvel movies it doesnt feel as though new fans are signing on to start a new ride as much as it feels like old fans are demanding closure.
