As she says in this video he is crumbling.

There is no way in hell Disney doesn't have concerns going forward.

Sure but who is she? And why should I care what any random YouTuber thinks? YouTube would have you believe that Mark Hamill never had a nice thing to say about Rian or TLJ, too.

It's fine. Guys. I'm sorry. I should have stayed quiet. The people that hate this movie, hate it so much that they want to destroy anyone's joy or hope for the film. And so be it. I don't want to change anyone's mind. No one is going to change mine. I loved the movie. Others didn't. Fine. So what? Who cares. Disney will make more movies or they won't.

I'm sorry I said anything. Just ignore me. I guess turn on that feature that turns me off -- the one Dane mentioned.

They're concerned with how Solo and Episode IX will be received. There's serious concern about the direction of the franchise.

These movies were supposed to be no-brainers. Rogue One overperformed their expectations so there was legitimate hope that Episode VIII wouldn't see much drop off from The Force Awakens.

But $700 million? A Rian Johnson "Apology Tour"? Issues with Solo?

Yeah, they didn't expect any of that.

Thanks Dane. I'm bowing out now. This was a mistake. But I really appreciate the response.

Thr general audience score is irrelevant?

She worked in the business.

She has just as much know how as Dane or any one working at Box Office Mojo.

Stop playing the Victim I don't hate any one who liked this movie.

If you liked it that's fine but don't try to discredit others who didn't as mad fan boys who are angry their heroes/theories didn't play the way they wanted them to.

Given how RT works and the controversy around it and that the other scores are more accurate, yes.

Okay, now I'm done.

Dude, I'm literally NOT doing that at all. I completely understand why people didn't like the movie. I'm not sure how much more clearly I can make that.

This place is toxic, guys. Everyone is looking for a fight. That's the default position. Remember when people could just... I don't know... talk about shit? Whatever happened to that?

Anyway. I'm clearly an asshole. I'm also an idiot. I don't care who liked or disliked the movie.

Have a great day.

I understand that.

The RT score is a lie given that the IMDB score has remained around 7.5 the entire time.

Okay. Then, my apologies. I never meant to come across that way. This is exactly why I don't post on Chiefsplanet.

Sorry to have offended. Be well.

Oh, I'm not freaking out at all. This is what I genuinely don't get about this place. I'm calm as can be and I'm genuinely trying NOT to fight about stupid shit. :-)

Oh well. It is what it is. Again, I'm sorry guys. I should have kept my mouth shut.
