Huh I guess Star Wars really is dead and TLJ killed it. Good job, you proved it. Haha
Nope, Star Wars is in decline, and I’ve said nothing about TLJ being the cause, just that Disney’s strategy hasn’t worked, which is a reasonable conclusion, if the objective is growth, a conclusion supported by the recent analysis of bloomberg:
This is how you do an objective scientific analysis. Numbers don’t lie, haha.
I think the issue is not decline per se but one of more exposure. More films, more often. My experience was that the OT was this one off amazing trilogy that sat alone and in which we, as fans, could revisit without thoughts about other films expanding on its story.(before the PT and ST of course, obviously). Whatever you think of the PT, the SW universe changed after it and certainly after the two episodes of the ST so far. It’s more familiar now and part of a much larger culture of films and art we currently experience. SW is still huge but not as unique and mysterious as it was.
I, for one, am happy to watch more SW if the price is less of that mystery and uniqueness.
As for Marvel. I am a fan but own exactly two of the films…FTR I am superheroed out.
