Well, even adjusted for inflation, TFA has by far overtaken AOTC and ROTS and is only slightly behind TPM, which had 15 years and a rerelease in 3D. And yes, you can’t always measure quality by profit, but it’s usually a rather good indication.
Jurassic world did well, that’s a great film…
Jurassic World did what it wanted to achieve, presenting a visual spectacle. TFA did what it wanted to achieve, going back to the roots of Star Wars. After fans have been shouting “give us more like the OT” for 15 years, that doesn’t come unexpected. Death Star 3 may have been a bit too much going in that direction, but it’s still a fun movie.
You can’t say that TFN’s story (or plot or whatever you want to call it) is bad because it’s too close to the story of Star Wars, since the story of Star Wars is just great. You can say that you don’t like the movie because it is not original enough, but that doesn’t affect the quality of the story. TFA didn’t ruin the force with midichlorians or bored it’s audience with political talk and shot-reverse-shot-while sitting-on-a-sofa-scenes. It didn’t have idiotic cameos of Greedo’s cousin or the ice cream maker guy, there was no retconning of OT events. So how is that a “royal fuck up”?
