^ mate, this is a thread for Rian Johnson’s new Star Wars Trilogy - not to bash on Disney, TLJ, RJ, parks etc; there are several other threads which address and discuss those issues on here.

Though, if you are going to post claims such as this (which seemingly reads like something you picked up from a negative youtube video channel) please post them in a more relevant thread. Though be prepared to be asked for some facts or evidence to back your claims up - or to give credence to them.
 

In the interests of balance… a random recourse to similar claims you have made in here, yet taken from another thread…

Two movies in the top 10 all-time domestic box office list and a third at #12 is tanking? I bet a lot of people wish they could tank like that.

1.The Force Awakens - $936,662,225

2.Avengers: Endgame - $858,041,646

9.The Last Jedi - $620,181,382

12.Rogue One - $532,177,324

Plus, a new streaming service with various new and made-for Star Wars content, 2 new film trilogies, theme parks, hotels, rides, considerable new animated content aimed at younger fans, new blu ray film releases, rumoured 4K releases, more comics and books released, games too, as well as a range of merchandise aimed for wider groups of fans than ever before…

Disney also recouped it’s outlay to purchase Lucasfilm a year or so ago from cinema takings of the film revenue alone…

A small, but vocal corner of fandom online may not like a new film or two (or have issues with the supposed direction) - though seems the franchise itself is doing just fine (racist, sexist, homophobic trolls, bots, troll farms, toxicity and monetised agenda-led clickbait apart).
 

On Rian Johnson himself… he delivered a main Saga film seemingly without the production issues suffered on some other Star Wars films, on budget, on time, which made a $1.3billion on cinema tickets alone worldwide, and sold 3 million blu rays & 1 million DVDs in the US alone in 7 months. Disney seem so impressed with his work and abilities that they have trusted him to come up with a new & separate Star Wars Trilogy…

Nothing much has changed since - though some information about the new trilogy would be most welcome 😉

 

Now back on topic…
