>>7310576>SW is still a huge marketing juggernaut for toys even if the movies themselves are relative flopsExcept that every toy retailer has trimmed their starwars section back from a full aisle to maybe 1/3 or 1/4 of an aisle, and if you don't live in the US, the 6" 'adult' line is all full-priced zuvios and the occasional jyn.
That's now. In three years from now, after the third movie, it'll probably be worse. I mean, honestly, main movies aside, the spin offs were all cancelled, the video game was so pay-to-play it was universally poorly received, and the tv show will be unlikely to single-handedly save the franchise.
What do they have left to tweak? Another iconic star wars vehicle with different legs or orange doors or a square satellite dish to show it's different and new?
Even if you're not tired of grey boxes, I just want some actual fun alien designs in lego again, instead of, the... "diversity" of another short, brown-skinned and slanty eyed alien from the "we're diversifying star wars guys so it's not racist" team.
