At this point, Star Wars needs China more than China needs Star Wars. But, yet, Star Wars doesn't really need China at all. At this rate, Star Wars 9 will be lucky to earn $11.38 million in China. And Walt Disney clearly doesn't need China to push Star Wars into mega-hit status. Again, Disney, Lucasfilm and the Star Wars brand will survive (and thrive) without China.
