There is a lot coming to Disney+. I hope they are making Jon Faverau a very rich man.

And from the article. Most of the content on Disney+ they already own and not new content. How did they spend this much money getting launched?
Streaming is not yet profitable for Disney — far from it. Losses in the direct-to-consumer division totaled $2.8 billion in the company’s 2020 fiscal year

Keep in mind, they initially thought it would be 2023 before they had 50 million subscribers, a number they hit in less than six months. They're shooting for 175 million by 2025 and by that time, they'll definitely be in the black. Startup costs are always part of the deal, so this isn't unexpected. |

There are several series that would have launched already this year had it not been for the COVID shutdown. With 8 new Marvel TV series and 10 Star Wars shows in development, with the Rogue One and Obi Wan series set to begin shooting in January, along with Season 3 of the Mandalorian, Disney+ will soon dominate streaming. |

BLUF: Owning and running a streaming service is ****ing expensive. $2.58 Billion to buy 75% of streaming company BAMTech. $204 million annually for leasing the cost of AWS server farms (estimated based on Netflix $17m monthly). $unknown millions to streaming devices annually. Supposedly Roku charges 20% of subscriber fees, as well as a share of ad revenue. $500 million for new content in the first year. $75 million for Hamilton alone. edit: Today I learned that I should have purchased stocks in Roku.

They could take the Obi-Wan story anywhere they want to go. Tons of possibilities.

The series was completely re-written because it was way too similar to The Mandalorian, which is weird in and of itself because Lucasfilm should have known this well before production was originally scheduled to start. It's now set for a January start date. The announcement is supposed to include new movies and TV series that haven't already been unveiled. |
