Star Wars is failing because Disney shat on the Expanded Universe (for all it faults) and the fans that made Star Wars what it was when Lucas sold it.

Wrong. They've been steadily increasing in price for years. They really took off after TFA. People like me who were kids of the 70's and 80's now have disposable income and we dont like the new movies. Those toys will never be worthless. I'll buy them all!?? Quote HistoryQuoted:

I guess not a lot of people checked out the Star Wars Creators film at Disney? 10 minute presentation thanking the fans for years of loyalty, HALF of which is dedicated to saying how great females are, how the female fans carried the films, and the female support makes Star Wars happen. Because it was my sister, not myself and my brother buying hundreds of dollars in SW merch yearly, that kept SW alive.

There is no hope for Star Wars with dumb & dumber from GOT doing the writing, along with Kennedys and Abrams involvement. It's a shame, Disney has double-downed and ruined probably the best franchise in movie history. However, the movie will get great reviews because no critic want's to piss-off the mouse and those that make any criticism will be called racist. The only thing that will alter Disney's decision making is for there to be extreme financial pain, by then it will be too late.

Quote HistoryQuoted: When they bomb at the box office it wont matter what critics have to say. Rey. Kinda curious to see who her parents are really, if Kylo was wrong. Otherwise, we can safely assume that Mary Sue will overcome whatever obstacles she is faced with easily, as she did in the first two. Kylo. His relationship with Rey is based on what? He turned dark because why? His potential redemption will be how? Resistance v. First Order. We literally have no idea what the political background conflict is. We have no idea how the First Order got so powerful. We have no idea where the New Republic is other than one shot of a planet being nuked. Who am I supposed to be rooting for again? Finn, Rose, Poe & the rest. Literally who cares. Does anyone care how Finn and Rose's relationship turns out? |

Probably will claim a female lead and black/brown/Asian supporting characters aren't enough, "this proves movies need more LGBT characters." |

The odd thing about that fight is that Maul is constantly on the defensive, retreating the entire time. Even his killing combination against Qui-Gon began with a block, then Obi Wan came close to simply pounding him to death. It's a surprisingly passive way to script the villain in the finale battle. |

In contrast to the completely random crap we get in the new trilogy, this is easily answered by the actual plot of the movies. Leia was on her way to see Obi Wan Kenobi who she knew to be on Tatooine, Obi Wan was there to keep an eye on Luke and his family since Luke was the son of Darth Vader and so Luke being nearby to the action when something started up is a pretty likely. It was a sparsely populated desert planet so it's not like there were billions of people there or anything either. Now Leia being Luke's sister? That's where it gets a lot less plausible but they even explained that pretty well in Episode 3. *** end Nerd *** |

I think it's bad because Disney is only really looking to make money off of the Star Wars name, and they couldn't care less about the actual storyline, the plot, the characters, or anything else about the IP. They paid big bucks, they want to make big bucks.
And it kind of worked, right? Force Awakens had $2billion of box office. The Last Jedi had $1.3 billion... a steep drop-off What if the next movie bombs? They'll be in trouble. |
