Network television and cable television as we know it are completely imploding, so we're not really sure that in five years' time we can release a dramatic one-hour episode because it is all reality TV now
So, given that the scenario described above is not actually consistent with reality, what does the above "diplodialect" ( or more properly "dipshitdialect" ) really mean?
The same thing it meant when they insisted the DVD market was "imploding" in 2004:
we are shameless greedheads.
Maybe the release of the live-action series will become an always-in-the-future "generational thing" like the release of the JFK files ( or those non-SW-related independent arty films that Lucas insisted he was going to do as soon as he was done with SW, in the words of Palpatine,
when this crisis has abated ). Just tell 'em what you think they want to hear, George. Your real god is Mammon.
