Star Wars Episode VIII SPOILERS thread
I still haven’t been able to muster the give a **** for a second viewing. I think I’ll wait for video. This will only be the 2nd Star Wars movie I didn’t watch multiple time in the theater(AOTC being the other) I’m glad people enjoyed it, but I just can’t get past my issues with it. To each their own.

I can't believe that there was no plan to connect the films that form the trilogy. |

Again, because it's a movie that took a hot, steaming, dump over the original trilogy

Which "age-old mysteries of The Force" were "unlocked"? Neither Luke nor Yoda provided a sliver of new information about The Force. What "shocking revelations of the past" were revealed? Snoke? Nope The Knights of Ren? Nope Rey's birth parents? Nope Finn's origins? Nope |

From Week 5 to Week 16, The Force Awakens averaged about $8 million per week but at that point, it had already earned $836 million through its first four weeks of release, ending up with $936 after the 16 week run. I just don't see how The Last Jedi gets beyond $1.3 billion. It'll be lucky to scare up another $24 million domestically. |

The important issue here is that Disneyland and Disneyworld are both opening brand new 14 acres Star Wars Land additions in 2019, both of which will favor the characters of the new trilogy versus the Prequels and Original Trilogy. That's looking to be a very bad gamble and it makes me wonder if Disney Parks won't re-think their new attractions. |

Some interesting reason why it is under-performing in China:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/robcain.../#221936b56d04 I liked this one in particular: Disney tried to make up for this in The Last Jedi by popping in little cards on the side of the screen every time a major character appeared, with the character’s bio in both Chinese and English. It didn’t help much to allay the confusion caused by the convoluted plot. |

Taking in just $4.3m on Thursday made sense, because of the weather. Only bumping up to $6.5m on Friday is another story. This movie had a huge drop from week one to week two. It had a better week three, but now it's in the toilet.
Going full SJW, promoting Grrl Power! instead of a good storyline, and shitting all over what people loved best about the original trilogy has not been wise strategy. Who could have seen that coming? |
