Curious to see what Disney buys next - maybe Honk Kong/Chinese based companies? Or stepping into Bollywood? I've seen some really crazy over the top interesting stuff coming out in my local theaters from India this year.

I agree in the most part with TwoHeavens. Esq. Cultural fracking is an awesome term, but it does suggest that there is a finite amount of culture/joy to be extracted from the bedrock of star wars/marvel when in fact this is limitless. The issue is the limits that are set by the studios. Just as AI will never be able to invent a new story, studios will always go for the safe (mean) option to ensure financial viability. This is unfortunate because a lot of what made the SW extended universe so rich were the attempts that failed and the successes that came from an unexpected source, like the unofficial/not cannon books.
