Not really a rumour (or news), but the following conversation occurred today between two boys in one of the Grade 12 math classes I teach ...
Student 1: "Why are there so many Star Wars films all of a sudden?"
Student 2: "Well, it's because Disney bought Lucasfilm for like $3 billion and now they need to make a new movie each year to make it worth their while."
Student 1: "Hmmm ..."
Student 2: "Yeah, sucks 'cause the best part of Star Wars used to be that they only put out one movie every three years and you had to wait for it."
Other Students Near Them: General noises of agreement.
Small sample size for sure, but at least in my neck of the Canadian woods, Star Wars fatigue may in fact be setting in.
