Kinda.It’s also why they bought Star Wars. Seems that Disney is to IPs what EA is to studios.
I believe it has been said that Star Wars was the second option and was more so supposed to be their giant general audience brand. Back in the day, Disney had the opportunity to get Harry Potter, but due to their own dickishness, they pissed off J.K. Rowling and lost the brand to Universal and Warner. They have been seething ever since, so they then decided to try and manufacture a Harry Potter. I think they believed that Star Wars was the next best thing, given that it was a pretty broad nerd IP. All that needed to be done was to get more women on board than there previously was.
As for why they are going for females, look at any boy band or even HP. Women will pay out the ass for things they like and can be absolute consoomers that even make the comic and anime weirdos seem tame.
Harry Potter was a massive brand that captured both men and women to an insane degree. All these companies are trying to manufacture their own now, not understanding that it was an anomaly and probably cannot be replicated. They just think that if they push the force or capeshit is female, it will suddenly produce a successor.
