Lol. Wtf.

Like a week ago there were a bunch of posts about how Andor is maybe the best piece of Star Wars media ever. Now we're on, "Guys, is Star Wars dead?"

Are you insane?

Like, its fucking Star Wars. Its survived worse. It will outlive all of us.

Edit: Look at this list of upcoming projects. There's at least 5 SW properties releasing new content next year. That's not including games, books, comics, and other kinds of media. Yeah, some of the things on that list will be delayed, or be canceled, or come out and be bad. But that is not the development schedule of a franchise that is "dead," or even one that is in trouble.

How many trilogies do you think we'll have in the next 60 years?

10

The better question is how many will be reboots?

5

I doubt there will be reboots. Though I can see it happening around a decade after the last original actor passes.

Star Trek was rebooted, though at that point Star Trek was on life support

The new Star Trek movies are a reboot, but I think the shows and and movies with Picard are an alternative timeline

100% chance of robots.

Well of course there's going to be robots, but I think they prefer to be called droids

A good question. Honestly I don't know. Possibly none. It might be that we've moved away from the "Trilogy" as the ideal structure for franchises like Star Wars. There's a lot of baggage that you get from affixing Episode: XX to your movie that you don't have if its just "A Star Wars Story." (There's also the question of whether movie theaters are going to still be relevant decades from now).

I mean final fantasy is nearing that question too haha. Yeah the "A Star Wars Story." would work tremendously, same concept with the MCU I guess.

Sometimes I end up having an existential crisis when I realise that there will one day be a Star Wars movie and a Bond movie that I’ll be too dead to see.

And it bombed when it launched because of the current state of most of Star Wars, only incredible word of mouth (and putting it on Hulu) has helped it rebound. It's a ray of hope, but it's an uphill battle.
