Here’s how much money Disney has made from ‘Star Wars’

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has revealed how much money Disney has made from Star Wars.According to the financial breakdown, the company has made approximately $12billion from the sci-fi franchise, almost three times the amount Disney bought it for ($4.05billion) in 2012.This comes on the back of the latest Star Wars trilogy – The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise Of Skywalker – as well as five Disney+ series, including The Mandalorian, The Book Of Boba Fett, Andor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Ahsoka.Despite widespread criticism of the new films and TV shows, the franchise has still proven to be extremely profitable, with merchandise and theme park attractions largely contributing to the huge revenue.However, even with the $12billion intake, Star Wars is still not the most profitable intellectual property for Disney.

Liam Neeson Rules Out More ‘Star Wars’ Appearances: I’m “Too F-ing Old”

“No one’s ever really gone,” Luke Skywalker famously said in 2017’s “Star Wars – Episode VIII – The Last Jedi.” A poignant line about memory and those we keep dear in our hearts, the line arguably had the double ironic meaning of how no one ever actually ever dies in genre films, especially not in “Star Wars,” thanks to the whole Force Ghost conceit. Speaking of Force Ghosts, while Liam Neeson made a brief appearance in 2022’s “Obi-Wan Kenobi” series starring Ewan McGregor, the actor doesn’t seem interested in much more beyond that brief cameo.

Ewan McGregor says he had an intimacy coordinator for sex scenes with his wife

Ewan McGregor has shared that an intimacy coordinator was still used for sex scenes between him and his wife.The upcoming series A Gentleman in Moscow features McGregor performing alongside his wife, Mary Elizabeth Winstead. The pair shared sex scenes in the programme, for which McGregor said it was “still necessary” to have an intimacy coordinator.Speaking with Radio Times (via CNN), the Moulin Rouge star said: “It’s still necessary, because it’s also about the crew, and it’s odd to be naked in front of people, it’s odd to be intimate in front of the camera.”He added: “If you were doing a dance scene, you’d have a choreographer.”Continuing to explain the importance of an intimacy coordinator, whose job it is to guide and support the actors during intimate scenes, for example simulated sex, McGregor said: “It’s an important part of the work now, because it’s somebody that the director and actors meet in the middle.”He elaborated on the sensitive topic surrounding intimate scenes in films, citing his 22-year-old daughter Esther, who is known for her roles in Obi-Wan Kenobi and High School.

Will there be ‘Ahsoka’ season 2?

Ahsoka, the latest live-action Star Wars spin-off series, premiered in August and picked up the story of Ahsoka Tano, a Jedi who first appeared in The Mandalorian season 2.The series, which is streaming on Disney+ and wraps up today (October 3), follows the titular character as she wanders through the galaxy in search of the villain Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen, reprising his voice role from Rebels). Other cast members include Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Natasha Liu Bordizzo.An official synopsis for the show reads: “Set after the fall of the Empire, Ahsoka will follow the former Jedi Knight Ahsoka Tano as she investigates an emerging threat to a vulnerable galaxy.”In a three-star review of Ahsoka season one, NME wrote: “This isn’t the grounded grit of Andor and it isn’t the stripped-back sweep of The Mandalorian nor the multiplex ambition of Obi-Wan Kenobi, but Ahoska has more than enough of its own charm and electricity to be something greater than filler.”At the time of writing, Ahsoka has not been renewed for a second season.
