Meh. Just torrent the fucker. Don't give Disney more of your money.

I'm sure Disney is horrified that people that don't like it that much are going to see it twice. :-)

The Rebel heroes were all average Joe types who did their job from top to bottom (Raddus, Merrick, the Lightbringer and crew, Cassian, Riz Ahmed's character ,Jyn and her volunteers et cetera) against a seemingly unstoppable force and achieved their goals. As long as you have the will and people believe there is a chance, you can win the day: you don't need the biggest guns or awesome super powers.

What I think doesn't get discussed enough is how it demonstrates the Force through Chirrut's character.

One year ago yesterday, Rogue One had a box office of $3.26 million.

The Last Jedi had a box office of $2.72 million.

You really need to stop embarrassing yourself.

Actually, I'd be surprised if they weren't.

I'm sure they are just pleased with you being a rarah cheeerleader for them! :-):-):-)

Second time around, my feelings haven't really changed. I mostly enjoyed it, despite it's many faults.

Biggest issue is with Finn, who is sort of like a live action Jar Jar. His entire story line was the Ewoks of this movie. Everything he did was pointless and stupid and got people killed and injured. It would have helped if the ugly sister had died and the hot sister was the one avenging her, too.

And seriously, can we get JUST ONE hot woman in Star Wars with a decent rack? Enough with the friggin A cup festival. They need to bring on Christina Hendricks for the next one.

Only an idiot would expect TLJ to have a comparable box office to TFA.

Rogue ranks #7 of the Star Wars movies by inflation-adjusted gross--way, way behind even The Phantom Menace.
By your logic, it sucked.

glad that the Chinese aren't eating this shit up. (most Chinese theaters have already dropped this POS film from its selection)

You fucking communist.

Why? You dont think people wanted to see the return of Luke Skywalker? That's all I cared about since I heard the new movies were coming out.

They are less than 60% of TFA date for date . You think they are happy and expected that?

Clay, where is my money?

TFA was an event with anticipation the likes of which we'll likely never see again. Not just the first SW movie in 10 years, but the return of the main original characters not seen in 30+ years. What can you even compare it to in the past or potential future? There's nothing close.
There's just not going to be that kind of anticipation and demand for anything else.

Plus:
There's a lot about TFA that might turn off people from future movies--it was largely a re-hash of Ep I. They killed off Han. Luke was in it for 2 seconds. Kylo is no Vader--lack of a compelling villain. You can pretend Rogue One wasn't a "real" SW movie, but people rave about it and it did less $ than TLJ.

And, look at the history of the last two trilogies--the 1st one was huge, the 2nd was lower, and 3rd (because it was the "last") boosted interest enough that it finished between the 1st and 2nd. I imagine this trilogy will probably follow the same, but it has something else going against it (in addition to Han AND Luke now being dead)--there's a SW movie every year now.

TLJ is the third SW movie in a span of two years. By the time IX comes out, it will be five movie in a span of 4 years. It just isn't the event it used to be and it the core group fans has aged. Kids today and younger generations aren't into it like kids of the 70s and 80s were. Even the kids I know who like it--they don't LOVE it like we did. They've more into X-Men and the comic book movies or Harry Potter. They grew up on other things. Their parents might have taken them to TFA because it was a huge event, but they aren't necessarily going to go back year after year.
