They've been very heroic in this new trilogy. You want to call them losers. They don't feel like that at all to me.

Han: Scavenger, lost and lonely. Leia: Still fighting a war 30 years later. Luke: Lonely, old, isolated, betrayed by his nephew, living as a monk. I wouldn't say that any of those people led successful lives, let alone, led lives indicative of the fairy tale ending of Return of the Jedi. |

![]() There are a million different ways that the trilogy sequel could have gone without destroying the idea of Han, Luke and Leia being heroes that saved the galaxy that lived successful and fruitful lives. |

This is a new one, even for me. My dislike of this film grows with each post. |

Dude, yes. Whenever you're pissed off, I'm going to start asking where things land on the Cueto-TLJ scale.

A more sensible explanation is that there was a huge, historic, anticipation for TFA with the return of OT characters after 30+ years. And people saw Han die, 2 seconds of Luke, and a re-hash of Ep. IV. It turned people off, many of whom decided they had outgrown this Star Wars thing and/or decided the whole thing just wasn't that good anymore. And don't dismiss Rogue One. What was the box office on that? If they are going to put out a movie every year, its going to likely dilute the build-up and excitement of each new one. Star Wars movies aren't rare events any more. Did Empire do as well as Star Wars? I guess it sucked and killed the franchise. |

It ended up with $1.056 billion and sold a shit ton of BluRay/DVD/Digital Copies. It also increased the expectations of what a Star Wars Story is supposed to be and it's box office receipts. Or did you miss the part about KK firing the initial directors after all but 10 pages were completed, hired Oscar Winner Ron Howard, recast a few roles, added a few scenes and did a Page One Re-Shoot? You're a butt****ing moron and apparently, that includes every subject, not just your nonsense in the DC (and your various mults, which have been confirmed to me by the Mods). |
