The mental barriers you cross to try to justify people liking Star Wars is insane
I love Star Wars. But I’m also not an idiot. I realize Disney spent BILLIONS to buy the property from Lucas and they know they screwed the pooch with TLJ and had major struggles on set with Solo.
It makes financial sense forgo the marketing cost (which Disney did) and use that to buy pre ordered tickets in bulk creating a buzz. It’s the same marketing concept for apps. There is a target number that needs to be reached and the masses follow.
If it leaked that Solo had LOW LOW ticket sales (which we are anecdotally seeing in real life) it would kill the movie and FURTHER damage the franchise.
It’s Marketing 101. Not some grand conspiracy.

Anyway, the films premiers next week at Cannes. We should hear how the film is received by that audience.

Who fricking cares what a bunch of pretentious, rich, delusional blowhards think? Didn't we learn our lesson from the last Star Wars movie? I'm only trusting the audience reviews, not those bunch of fricks.

Fair enough...but there were a few critics that hated TLJ. I remember people on this board attacking them for it ![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/IconLOL.gif)

Didn't a couple different groups come out and say they manipulated the audience reviews, too? I'll just pay the $10 and find out for myself.

One single movie cannot sink Star Wars and no it doesn't damage the franchise nearly as bad as the prequels
The Prequels killed Darth Vader. How anyone can enjoy Vader in the OT knowing hes Hayden Christensen is beyond me.

The prequels worst thing was midiclorians to the franchise as a whole. TLJ says that everything you learned in the past was total bullshite, had an OJ Simpson chase, said “frick all males”, disgracefully kills off the greatest hero of all time, and I have no idea where the universe stands at the end of it. It’s worse.

Only people who think TLJ insults males are males who are weak enough to be offended.

Whatever you say, Mary Sue.
Go cuddle up with Rian Johnson. You can get tips on how to properly knit a pussy hat.

Why so angry, Mary? Trump banning your transition meds?
Posted on 5/8/18 at 7:10 pm to Scruffy
Im too busy sucking cock to be in transition but im not a beta cuck who complains that cock is bad.
Instead, you prefer to be offended about the pussy.

If you don't like sucking cock, you have a problem. Or are triggered. I love smearing the semen all over my face.
I rest my case
