It really doesn't though. Maybe they should give up movies, but for whatever reason they never give the public (me) what it wants when it comes to video games, no matter how successful. For a period, up until around the late 00s, Lucasarts was producing some absolutely killer Star Wars themed games. And I don't think they've run dry the mine of both the storyworld of the Old Republic (which is just better in nearly every way from mainline Star Wars) or style of games such as the old Jedi Academy games. They just won't do them because it's not GAAS optimized slop. And when they do do something like an open world Star Wars game (killer in theory) they insist on wokifying it - but you don't have to do that.

I wouldn't read them, but probably you could theoretically do good books. Comics in the west are probably dead for a generation, at minimum, but if that weren't so you could theoretically do that too.

Anyway, there's still a Star Wars world at Disneyland, so I don't imagine they'll give up totally soon. It takes money to dismantle that thing, and anyways, it honestly looks cool. Speaking of, I heard they're finally giving up forcing the turd sequel IP line exclusively for Disney's Galaxy Edge and letting in nostalgia bait like Vader along with the joke that is Kylo Ren and the neo-Rebellion. Wise.
