Based on the sample size of my household, Gears 3 is outselling the Star Wars blu-rays 1-0.
Yes, well, that is just YOUR household though :(.
Now I do not condone Lucas actions towards the originals, but why should he give a shit about the originals when this boxset sold well enough to keep the Lucasfilm gravy train rolling
Exactly. The majority of people don't care. It's like spitting a fire.
But what we're doing here is still important.
It doesn't matter if it's important, it matters if it does anything. And it obviously doesn't.
Wow, thanks for posting those stats! Our people have DEFINITELY made a statement that WILL be heard at LFL. There's no way they can ignore us now.
What do these "stats" indicate? Sales have dropped because it's a new format, maybe a few more people care, so in 100 years we'll have it? They can ignore us all they like until they don't make any money, and that'll be the 12th of never.
Plus, since when has monetary returns meant anything about quality, or people's attitude towards something? "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" was one of the highest-grossing films of all time, but it's also one of the shittiest and universally-reviled movies of all time.
And it still got the sequels green-lit and kept the franchise going. It doesn't matter what it says about the quality of the product, what matters is what it says about the future, and what it says is that people will buy anything with STAR WARS on the package.
Regardless, there's a huge spin here in selling this as some massive success story
Um, a broken record doesn't qualify as a big success?
Well said everyone! What I have noticed, is that FINALLY there are several articles and blog entries about the changes and how bad they are, where's the originals, etc. That speaks volumes.
The only thing that talks here is the money, and it has spoken.
That's an important step that we have taken, and I hope we keep on walking!
Right off the edge of a cliff.
More have realized the crime against culture and history here.
Just because they know is no guarantee they care, and even if they do, like I said, it probably doesn't mean much.
I sincerely hope we are closer to getting the OOT.
I sincerely hope I win the lottery. Wish in one hand...
