Star Wars isn't built for a Marvel- style cinematic universe -6
The Marvel Cinematic
Universe as we now know
began with Iron Man, a
movie about one single
Marvel character. Then
there were five additional "individual" movies featuring major
characters like Thor, The
Incredible Hulk, Captain
America. Only then did the Avengers bring those
disparate stories together
for a "major" crossover
movie. The Avengers was,
to a certain extent, the
Marvel version of A New Hope, and it was released after its audience had
learned to treat movies
about individual characters
with the same respect. Star Wars as a franchise
never has that luxury. Star
Wars is undergoing this
process in reverse. Central Star Wars movies
already exist and
everything else has been
released in its wake. The
end result: spin-off movies
feel like spin-off movies. They're not essential. Source:CNET
