I didn’t feel like going and finding the exact numbers for movies I don’t care about, and I remembered that I read recently that TFA made something in the 2.1 billion range and TLJ made somewhere in the 1.1-1.3 billion range (I couldn’t exactly remember), so I just said almost a billion because it was easier. After the backlash, I checked Wikipedia and apparently the difference wasn’t close enough to be fairly described as “almost a billion.” This is why I don’t typically post in the General Star Wars forum. I made a completely rational and reasonable post, and it gets dismissed as some slight against these sacred films. Like I said earlier, the bad attitude of Star Wars fans is on all sides. It’s on the side that worships the PT and George Lucas. It’s on the OOT side. It’s on the anti-Disney side. And yes, it’s on the pro-Disney side. You had a complaint about TLJ regarding a shot of Carrie Fisher’s face that you said looked weird or off in some way and were immediately shut down over it because even the slightest complaint about the most minor of aspects of a Star Wars film garners so much defensiveness and so much intensity that it’s shocking. I’m unaware of any fanbase in the world that holds such a passionate, nearly religious seriousness regarding their mass-market space fantasy films.
