I won't post the whole article here, as the rest contains spoilers regarding the movie. It does seem that people are really divided on this one.

Also, The Last Jedi had a major Sunday to Monday box office drop, compared to the last two movies.

Force Awakens: -33.8% Rogue One: -53.3% Last Jedi: -57.5%

Looks like it will finish nowhere near the $936 million domestic gross of Force Awakens. Probably close to $600 million.

It’s played itself out, like American Idol and Dancing with the Stars.

Wish I could see it.. but since ticket sales are so bad the local theater closed a few weeks ago.

The closest to me now is 1.5 hours each way. With these 54inch 4k TVs I think they’ll have to stream right from the get-go.

People hated Empire when it came out too. Then Ewoks showed up and they were all “you know what, Empire rocked”. Personally I really liked this one, I like how it broke away from a lot of SW bad habits. It’s about time we got some non-Skywalkers saving the damn galaxy.

If Darth Vader built C3PO, why did he never recognize him?

I was reading the reviews on IMDB, I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many bad reviews in my life. People saying it was so bad they were crying 30 minutes into it! LOL! There you go, leave it to Disney.

Disney killed the golden goose.

They couldn’t just tell a decent story - no they had to destroy the entire past series to show how cool they are.

Six-hundred million is still a major box office haul. More than enough to make another installment.

I will probably see this as DH loves movies and this one will at least have guns, spaceships and explosions.

But the last SW movie I looked forward too was "The Phantom Menace".

Has anyone figured out these movies will disappoint the adults that were in like 4-6th grade when the original star wars came out is because.... we are now adults? Tastes change, people mature, people wringing their hands over how much they are experts on a movie genre is hardly worth noting, but I will. Move on folks...

Synopsis of Star Wars: Rebels fight Empire; Empire fights back; Rebels fight Empire; Empire fights back. Goofy character fights with Rebels against new Empire; Lucas loses goofy. More back and forth; Lucas rehashes Ford and Fisher.

This franchise is embarrassing. It's entire premise is based on old westerns. Is there anyone under 25 that can appreciate an original concept without massive special effects? Sheesh.

Star Wars Holiday Special (1978)

“Vox popli, Vox Dei” (the voice of the people is the voice of God) is running amok, especially for a ‘major’ movie. If you are not sure you’d like it, wait for it to come to Streaming or DVD or even TV. “Removing it from the canon??” These ‘fans’, what idiots they are!

They should have filmed the Thrawn trilogy.
