MC: "This is bus 117, can anyone hear me? Over."
Lord Hood: "Isolate that signal. Master Chief, you mind telling me you're doing at that school?"
MC: "Sir... picking up these kids."
Halo will not die so long as there is money to be made.
It is this generation's Star Wars. This is a bold claim to make, but think about it.
When Star Wars first came out. They were instant classics, people wanted in on the money, everyone was on board. Same goes for Halo, look at where it's gone to, and I guarantee you can find a Star Wars counterpart:
Video Games
Animated movies
Comics
Novels
Board Game spin offs
Table Top strategy Games
Trading Cards
Clothing
Accessories (Pins, License plates, etc.)
Mega Blocks (Though Star Wars is Lego)
Encyclopedias
Art Books
Action Figures
Calendars
Toy guns
RC cars
Collectibles (Like busts, Helmets, Statues, etc)
Iconic music
News Coverage
Fan Zealots
All that's missing is a Live Action film (even though we have plenty of Live Action trailers) and that's it.
Capitalism folks. Everyone wants to be on board with Halo, it's a huge money maker, as is Star Wars.
Before you tell me:
"Halo doesn't have nearly as many things as Star Wars, like cereal boxes and what not"
Of course it doesn't, Star Wars is at least... what... 40 years old? Or close to it (it's been a long time) Of course there's more stuff for Star Wars, that's expected, Halo's only been around for 10 years, what do you want it to do?
BUT HALO IS NOT STAR WARS,
and that's the difference. Star Wars has random aliens everywhere, which implies tons of planets and back story, plus it cares less about explaining how everything works, which allows for more creative room. Star Wars is much more expansive and loose than Halo.
Halo will never REPLACE Star Wars for what Star Wars is, but it will rob the hype of Science Fiction and imagination from Star Wars and continue to grow in appeal as it's production continues to be top notch.
It will only die when your money dies, until then it is unstoppable.
