 How Much Did STAR WARS Sequels Really COST Disney? | The TRUTH Revealed Disney has probably LOST money on starwars movies, or just BARELY cut even on the movies ONLY because of the UK tax credit and anything they could make off it post-box-office. ----------------- So, you have to file real numbers in the UK to get the tax credits. Companies creatively decieve with the names they pick to use over there in order to hide these reports. Apparently we now have the names for all of the disney movies. Official hollywood accounting numbers puts their production costs (sans promotion) at 1.32 bn. for them all combined and they theoretically made 5.92 bn in box office returns. Now for the HA decoder ring: Domestic box returns 55%, international sans china 43, china 25. So in reality, disney would only have gotten back 2.84 bn. after the theaters take their cut. Now, for the decoder ring on production costs, based on the info from the UK filings: the force awakens - 667 mn rogue one - 294 mn star wars the last jedi - 409 mn solo, a star wars story - 364 mn the rise of skywalker - 554 mn For a total cost of 2.29 Bn. <---- that is production cost SANS promotion costs. Assuming ~150m promotion cost each would put them in the hole 200mn. Even being stupidly favorable and saying only 100m a piece only puts them over by ~50mn (on a total outlay of 2.29 billion). The film tax credit (sucks to be a taxpayer in the UK) returned them 384 mn. At best, they seem to have only broken even on box office returns, and only because the UK is willing to punk it's taxpayers. They spent ... what, 4 bn to buy sw/lucasfilm? Spent who knows how much making galaxy's edge in land/world, the now defunct star wars hotel ... -------------------- And they threw out the EU. It's like they only want to lose money.

Then the last episode of the season is where Thrawn returns in a season climax attacking the New Republic. That way you don't have to introduce/explain the whole hyperspace whales. Don't care if they are in the cartoons. Just leave that plot device out of the equation. The whales are so f'ing stupid. I like how everyone some how knows how to get to this other galaxy.....the magic orb...some how knew which galaxy Thrawn ended up in. The whales....some how know exactly where Ashoka wants to go.....sigh. There are a lot of great elements in the series....but this whole go to another galaxy thing is retarded. The whales (purrgil) apparently migrate to the other galaxy. The magick orb was research studying the purrgil migration. The purrgil took Thrawn there because that's where they always go, and that's where they took Ahsoka presumably. She said in the episode she wasn't sure where they were taking her or if they even able to understand her, but at least let her going along for the ride wherever they go. I agree though I thought not even seeing the toher galaxy would be better for the show. Just have Thrawn show back up. That would make the impact of losing the fight last episode mean more than being able to follow to the other galaxy - it would be more of a failure. We all know Thrawn is making it back and tearing the New Republic a new one anyway. If they don't show/explain how Thrawn get back then we're just left with people bitching about another "somehow Thrawn returned". Show that shit. It makes for good entertainment. It seems like the people complaining about the space whales never watched Rebels in the first place. Can't please everyone. Migration patterns don't usually reverse course, and as depicted are in a circular style motion. The same course back may not be able to be reversed which is why the migration was studied and mapped in the first place. but nightsister lady is bringing the coordinates from the map. They will know the destination back and they'll have the origin coordinates so that's it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but is the point you're trying to make "we know Thrawn makes it back so why even have Ahsoka go out there in the first place?" Kinda like how Raiders of the Lost Ark would end the same with or without Indiana Jones? Green = yes Red = Not so much. Red is more of what are they trying to accomplish by having Ahsoka even going out there? The ONLY thing I can think of is that by bringing the silly hyperspace whales, that Ahsoka is the one that actual gives Thrawn the ability to get back. If so, thats pretty dumb. I would have 1.) figured that nightsister lady probably already has a plan for them to get back, otherwise why go out there in the 1st place? 2.) It seems like it would just be better to have it happen rather than having to try to spoon feed it to the audience. Just leave the how of the return as a MacGuffin. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By vellnueve: I mean she wants to rescue her apprentice and possibly Ezra. That's good enough reason. But from a story perspective and frankly from an audience perspective we already know. Thrawn will return. So thats already a given and established. So you either have to: 1.) Have Ahsoka as the instrument of Thrawns return which is just pure stupid. Why? Because again how was nightsister lady actually planning on getting Thrawn back? She would have already figured that out prior to leaving. Unless she had planned the whole time that Ahsoka was going to follow her and bring the hyperspace whales. Thats just pretty piss poor writing. So I highly doubt that will be the case 2.) Ahsoka actually gets to the same place. She tries to stop the Thrawn and fails. Well that would again be a given since we know he returns. So from an audience perspective that pretty bad writing. Where #2 could possibly be saved is if Ahsoka is stranded in the outer reaches while Thrawn is able to return. That possible then lets get to the inevitable conclusion which is that they use Ahsoka as the girl boss vehicle to save the republic, despite her failure to stop him from returning in the 1st place. So I'm going back to my original points of that Ahsoka should NEVER had made the jump in the 1st place. It would have just been better to end the season on the cliff hanger that Thrawn returns. I don't need to know the exact mechanism (see #1, nightsister already has the figured out). It sets up the new season for Ahsoka and the New Republic having to deal as a GROUP, not girl solo boss to defeat Thrawn. |

Episode 5 didn't do much for me. I suppose you have to be really invested in the franchise and know all the little subtleties about Anakin and Ahsoka's relationship for it to have had the desired impact. I liked Anakin's attempt at dark humor but the child in Ahsoka simply didn't understand that's just how some cope with the responsibility of leadership and loss, etc. I also found his message to her was to let go of the past and focus on the now and what's to come. That's about all I got, TBH.
 Beyond that, I found the whales to be really odd. I hate when they take animals and creatures from the real world and try to reintroduce them as something else -- birds? in this case -- but they look the same minus some goofy tentacles. Bro. It's fk'n Star Wars. Can't y'all think up of something else flying through the air besides fucking WALES? Also, yeah, General Hera is smoking-hot but somebody explain to me how she has a normal-looking kid, and why is she so formal with him all the time? Shit's weird to me but it really doesn't effect the plot any. |

The ring ship is designed to go around Thrawn’s ship and bring him back, or else it’s the goofiest ship ever built.

I thought the flashes back and everything with Anakin was great. The whole whale thing had me scratching my head but after reading on here it makes more sense. Best episode thus far in my opinion. Can’t wait for next week!

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By happycynic: Thrawn was lost in Rebels with a squad of Imperial I Star Destroyers. I suspect it brings back all three. Yep, more than just one for sure. They made it a point to say they were some of the largest hyperdrives ever made. |

Not sure if you should be watching a show you dislike this much I think that's what the space ring is for, but at least one would want to return but all makes sense if you want some military umph behind you |

Yeah, but R1 were just statements. That was a manifesto! |

Well I really like this show so far - it has been very entertaining and substantially better than I expected. My only hang up is the actress who plays Ahsoka. I just don’t find her very compelling and she seems a bit wooden. I was thinking about who might have been a better choice and Alicia Vikander comes to mind. She is short and thin and has much better acting range and is physically capable as well.
Anyone else have ideas for a better actress to play Ahsoka? |

Besides, Baylon knew Anakin. I doubt some snot-nosed youngling would've known who Anakin was.

Would it make sense for Disney to give us a Baylan backstory series?
