They were never pumping them out at Marvel’s breakneck pace though. Marvel are up to 3 or 4 a year. Star Wars never rose above 1 a year (in fact, the main series was only every other year). That’s on par with The Hunger Games’ 4 in 4 years, Twilight’s 5 in 5 years, and slightly ahead of Harry Potter’s 8 in 11 years.
