The ads for the DVD and Blu-Ray releases are right in labeling it “the movie experience of a generation.”
Absolutely. If Episodes VIII and IX are anywhere near as good people will see TFA as the rebirth of the franchise.
Honestly a lot of that is going to ride on Rogue One and Han Solo as well. If those aren’t at least good, then people will start to be a bit less enthusiastic about Lucasfilms new direction.
If Rouge One is bad then people will doubt if future Spin Off films will be any good. If the Han Solo flick is bad it will only confirm those initial suspicions. Episode VIII will have come out already and people’s reception to that film it crucial for every thing that comes after it. Whether it be in the main series or spin offs.
