A saturated streaming market already (all adding up $/£-wise) - and without the main films I’ll likely be giving Disney’s forthcoming streaming service a miss.
I agree. I already have physical media for the few Star Wars films that interest me. According to both the articles, with a lot of their films already on other networks, they don’t seem to have much to offer. With regard to Star Wars, only things that haven’t been made yet is a tough sell. His quality over quantity comment as a business model sounds like spin.
Even though Iger says they’ll be cheaper than Netflix, there is no way that price doesn’t start creeping up soon after. If they succeed in buying their own films back from Netflix and Starz, that jump will be substantial.
