I would have to think this greatly favors the Lucas made stuff then. 40 years of TV revenue for the rights to show these movies, has to be astronomical. I would also argue that that physical media would greatly favor the Lucas made stuff as well, by a very large margin. Do people even buy physical media anymore? I have the OT on blue ray, I have the Prequels on blue ray, I don't physically own any of the Disney era stuff. I see no need when I can just flip on Disney+ and stream anything I want to watch. I guess this kind of one of the negative of the streaming situation, it has to have really cut the physical media sales.It has changed over the years, and I couldn't find anything for the streaming era, but in 2014 TV rights made up the largest percentage of a film's revenue. Prior to that it had been physical sales when the DVD market was super-hot. The fact is though that the TV rights still make up a significatn portion of total revenue and stations like TNT & USA pay a lot of money for these rights.
Same with music, who on earth buys a CD anymore?
