I guess like you said they can avoid paying royalties. And if they're not proving a draw to get more people to sign up to D+ perhaps they've worked out that they can make more money by selling the show to the next highest bidder. Or at least lease it.
MCU to "Refocus” and Disney sinking faster than the Titanic (Starwars is dead Marvel is dead)

I guess they will definitely save money on royalties, I recall reading about this a few months back. I just can't see them making much money selling shows to other channels/providers that have been proven to be unpopular.
Who would buy Willow and Making of Willow, a show that has been cancelled and was based off a crappy film from the 80s in the 1st place??!?!?!?!

Yeah residuals is the main reason, it's part of the reason for the current writer's strike because companies can just make shows vanish now to avoid paying anybody like they used to have to with dvd boxsets and licensing to channels etc.

Hopkins slinging mud at the superhero genre. Presumably you just volunteered / sent the pay check back, Anthony? Thought not. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-65819559
Although I bet he looked at Love and Thunder and was glad he wasn’t involved!
Some rumors floating about that Lucasfilm might be going up for sale. Obviously this has led to further rumors that Mr Lucas might be buying it back.
Could just be twitter rumors, could be interesting if true though!
Would be funny if he buys it back for less than he made on a sale.

So this rumour hinges on the fact that Disney needs to make a decision on buying out Comcasts remaining share in Hulu by 2024. This remining share has a minimum value $9 billion. But could be worth up to $20 billion.

I couldn't see any indication in the financials that Disney has the cash in hand to make the minimum payment of $9 billion. So I could see assets being sold off to make the payment. Whether or not Lucasfilm will be sold to make this payment. We shall see.
Edit: They have 11.6 billion in cash, this went down by 4 billion YOY.

You would imagine that their stock-holders wouldn't be happy with these under-reported costs, meaning the loses would be more or the profits would be less.
