How is it that we only get one Starship Troopers movie but this Star Wars trash just keeps flowing? I think I'd even take a JJ interpretation of the Foundation series. Star Wars is very much over and dead.

Because Starship Troopers grossed less than $55 million [imdb.com], that's how.

You actually got three starship troopers movies, but the two made-for-TV sequels were complete trash so nobody remembers them.
