Yep. They aren't going to overcommercialize Star Wars.

Eh? You mean just like any other Studio that releases it's films on every new distribution format?
You mean just like any other studio that repeats re-releases every few years?
You mean just like Lucas has licensed the Star Wars figures to all sorts of products?
All that is normal and expected,and indeed drives revenue.
What I'm talking about is the amount of films they produce,and which could cheapen the brand by having too many of them,a point which unfortunately went over your head.
By the way,your point about re-releases is wrong since Disney have always managed to keep their classics under lock and key and doing limited releases only,especially on VHS and DVD. Some films were hugely sought after on DVD,and Disney knew how to hold back on releases until the ideal moment had come.
So yes,Disney won't necessarily cheapen the brand...
