>>6989430>The general public is clearly not in favor of Disney wars. It's a very apathetic scene like you said.The general public is apathetic about the complaints of the manbabies screaming about TLJ, not about the films themselves. These films wouldn't have already recouped the $4 billion that Disney paid out for Star Wars if the general public wasn't into them, though interest *is* waning (but not for the "OMG SJWS ARE RUINING STAR WARS" nonsense that a minority of the fanbase keeps crying about).
>>6989430>Why wasn't the mainstream media jumping to the prequels defense?Because those films were unequivocally terrible.
Also, the mainstream media isn't rushing to defend the Disney films, instead, the hatemobs screaming about the Disney films and threatening the people who make them have made the media and the general public far more sympathetic to the cast and crew of the new films. Folks like you think that, just because Solo tanked at the box office, that the general public is just as angry about Kelly Marie Tran as you are, when they really just don't give a fuck and think you're all a bunch of creepy assholes for driving her away from the internet.
Ironically, you asshole fans are pretty much the First Order - you think you've done some kind of great justice for the galaxy by terrorizing everyone around you, when really everyone just thinks you're a pathetic bunch of losers waging a war than the average citizen doesn't give a fuck about either way.
