The future of Disney's Star Wars remains unclear, but this latest bit of news about "Andor" must produce a reckoning inside the company of what exactly it's doing.

The story of Star Wars’s success is a story of how a spacey fairytale, created by a guy who just wanted to make his kind of movie his way, captured the imagination of the world. But George Lucas’s most famous creation is also a success story about money.

Disney is sharing the reason why the Star Wars universe-set series The Acolyte was canceled after only one season on Disney+. In a new interview, Co-chairman of Disney Entertainment Alan Bergman is revealing why it was decided not to move forward with a second season of the series.

Disney has revealed that the cost of making Star Wars show Andor has surged to $645 million after it spent a record $290.9 million last year on filming its second season.

The Acolyte somehow proved even more divisive than the Star Wars sequel trilogy and Disney Entertainment co-chair Alan Bergman has now elaborated on the decision to scrap the short-lived Disney+ series.

The “cost structure” Berman refers to is that Disney spent $231 million to make The Acolyte. The total came out after the site That Park Place released tax documents about the show’s production. It’s the second-most expensive Star Wars show ever. Andor is first with a budget of $250 million.
