I think they’ve just completely diluted the Star Wars franchise. Disney has to make back the billions they spent so they keep cranking out new flicks like an assembly line. Hard to really get excited about the next Star Wars flick when another one comes out every 6 or 7 months. And its hard to maintain the quality at that rate.

FIFY. They have already told their fan base to f off and die so it will be a case review for future historians on how to kill a golden goose.

“Soylo: A Soy Wars Story crashing and burning. “

I’ve heard it’s actually pretty good. Nothing spectacular, but a fun flick overall and probably the last Star Wars movie that’s actually going to look and feel like one for some time.

I still will not pay money to see it ... I almost think they’re destroying the original characters for a reason at this point. Star Wars was too “male dominated” for the freaks at Disney. Expect oppressed lesbian goat Jedis, tranny Hutts, and evil white men that look like Trump trying to enslave the galaxy moving forward.

Seriously, how can you f-up a basic, good vs evil story/theme like Star Wars? I liked the stupid movies for one single reason : Basic, fun junk food for the brain used to forget about life for two hours. Now they’re borderline ridiculous after sitting in the Last Jedi torture chamber.

My only hope now is that the franchise somehow goes into a tailspin and someone can land it for a fraction of the price Disney paid. It’ll never happen of course, but it’s nice to think it might :-).

Disney needs to do a Planet of the Valerie Jarrets remake and have VJ star and capture and torture Roseanne.

Infinity War came out 5 WEEKS after Guardians of the Galaxy.

Soylo bombed because it was destroyed by social justice warriors. Period.

Star Wars is dead. It’s gone.

That would make a hilarious youtube video. Someone could take a preview scene for the movie and slap ValJar and Roseanne's faces on all the right characters.

Youtube would probably ban it immediately.

Not only are the new films full of ‘woke’ propaganda. The writers and crew have openly and publicly taken a dump on the traditional Star Wars male audience at every opportunity basically telling them that they don’t need their money anymore.

Solo did badly because the people running Lucasfilm decided to troll the fans who were mad about the Last Jedi. Not to say that there weren’t people who simply wouldn’t like The Last Jedi, but making up epithets and the like certainly made the situation worse.

It has to gross around $700 million worldwide to break even. It won’t come close.

It’s perfectly possible to make Ok product on an assembly line basis. Comic books for decades had titles selling one million plus, or at least hundreds of thousands of copies. It does involve plenty of teamwork though. The problem is that the creators let the angry fans provoke them, and by talking back, they made it worse.
