Movie Board conspiracy theories for Star Wars success
I don't think it's wrong to say that TLJ was successful. I also don't think it's wrong to say that it was way LESS successful than it could or should have been.

1.3 billion is a lot of money. But it's not nearly as much as 1.7 billion. And even for a large company like Disney, missing a target by 400 mill is a big deal.

TLJ is a bad movie. The idiots on here however are far worse.

TLJ was just a bad movie. The other two Star Wars were better. No conspiracy, just put out a really bad product. Fans disagreed with what most critics had to say and it was reflective in the sales.

I think this was the biggest issue overall. The outright worshiping done over this movie by the media prior to the release on top of the excitement generated by TFA made for unreasonable expectations. When the movie was nothing close to what was promised especially after critics had seen it, that's when you get the hyperbolic reactions.

And Rain Johnson didn't help it, by being a huge arrogant a$$ and going about degrading fans who had issues with it.

TLJ success is only based on the past success of the franchise. It’s a shite movie and yes the pandering SJW shite is nauseating to say the least. Of course any Star Wars movie will make money right now, but that doesn’t mean anyone will still give a shite about it 37 years like many do about ESB. The other main point is studio execs and directors to come off as they know better than fans and either call us racist or stupid that we can’t see their vision and brilliance that they created. For that they can all eat a dick and forever be ridiculed and made fun of for being overbearing feminist or emasculated beta males.

I'm debating on whether or not I want to get all worked up and angry about this movie again.

I'm tired of the lines that reviews are bad because: "fans didn't get what they want" or "people are just angry because they had different ideas" or "Star Wars adult nerds don't understand its for children"

Forget star wars lore and the political bullshite and the Fandom backlash about the source material, the movie is a catastrophic failure of a movie.

The plot makes no sense and goes no where.

As a second movie in a trilogy it doesn't make any sense. It barely connects to the first one and it leaves no where to go for the third movie.

The multiple side plots never connect. They just are there. With no purpose.

Outside of Finn, none of the characters have an arc or grow in any meaningful way. And Finns great arc and growth are robbed from him at the end.

Almost every character makes nonsensical decisions for no reason. They don't serve the plot or a greater theme.

There's no theme. There no arc. There's no coherence to the movie. And it all falls squarely on the shoulders of Rian Johnson and Kathleen Kennedy. Rian both wrote and directed this movie. He proved his utter and compelete failure as a writer and adapter of IPs.

The movie is complete and utter dogshit. And Disney and Lucas Film and Kathleen Kennedy and Rian Johnson are trying to jam that shite down everyone's throats and then berate them for choking or refusing to happily gobble up little pieces of dog shite.

They're serving microwaved diarrhea and calling it Aged Ribeye. And worse they're attacking anyone who calls them out on it.

Why does there need to be a conspiracy? TLJ was not the first mediocre (bad) Star Wars movie to make a billion dollars nor will it be the last.

If it helps your opinion of him, in another Star Wars thread he refers to himself as "GOAT cock".

The Last Jedi was a bait and switch. People took the bait. If there are any consequences for the steaming pile of shite that was TLJ then it will be felt opening weekend of the next one.

I agree and I hope you're right.

I saw all three of the prequels, Rogue One, TFA, and TLJ on opening night in the theatre. I don't plan on seeing Solo at all and I'm going to wait for the reviews to decide on Episode IX

Reviews mean nothing. TLJ proved as much. Even those we trusted cucked.

Not critic reviews. I hate critics. Audience reviews. There's a few people and posters I trust. I'll wait for their discussion.
