Star Wars isn't built for a Marvel- style cinematic universe -3
Most of these characters
have been around since
the '60s. Captain America's
one of the few World War
II superheroes who was
actually around for World War II. He made his debut
in 1941. Between them,
Marvel superheroes have
literally thousands of story arcs to draw on. Simply put: Marvel has an
incredibly rich history of
memorable stories that
Star Wars can't compete
with. Not just as the
Avengers, not just as a crossover property, but as individual
characters. Each has their own mythology,
their own unique history.
That's a lot of "content". Star Wars has some
movies, I guess. Correction: Star Wars has
some movies, an animated show and an expanded universe that includes
some great video games, some OK books, and some
of the strangest shit ever created by human hands. An expanded
universe that Disney (quite rightly) swept
under the rug when it
acquired Lucasfilm in 2012. Source:CNET
