All I meant to say was that the Indy deal was something Disney negotiated separately from Star Wars.
But I agree with your larger points. Disney isn't in the business of "sharing." The don't want to own half of anything, they want to own EVERYTHING. Yeah, the deal was fairly routine for them and was pretty much standard operating procedure, not necessarily implying any immediate plans.
Sure, they would like to do SOMETHING with Indy. They want to monetize everything they own.
My separate point, off that, is that it is way too early for Disney to be contemplating turning a billion dollar movie franchise into a direct-to-netflix TV show.
I cannot imagine that is something they would consider or do (at least in the next five years or so....)
Even if you consider that the franchise is utterly ill-suited for that kind of treatment (but, hey, let's not let CREATIVE decisions get in the way!) it would still be a poor use of what is currently a historically VERY successful feature film franchise.
That is all I mean to say or imply with my post. Not making any other judgements about what they are or are not considering at this point.
