Since the m.o. is based on the idea that the pre-97'ers can piss off because there will always be new blood to replace them, it would be interesting to know what level of interest LFL considers big enough to keep going that way. They must have a rough number in mind, I guess using toy sales and the ratings for clone wars as the main barometer. But from the outside it's hard to tell what that level needs to be. Is the current status good enough? Or does it need to grow? Or maybe it can slip down to Star Trek 2003 levels and still be considered perfectly healthy by LFL?
