This all neglects the other major media property owned by Lucasfilm (and now Disney), too: Indiana Jones. While not as lucrative as Star Wars, it's a cash cow unto itself, and with a new Indy film slated for the summer of 2019 it's only going to get juicier over the next few years. Clearly, the lesson here is that, as the late Carrie Fisher might have said, if you get the chance to purchase a massively successful media company for a large upfront sum, DO IT.
