>>7941960>it killed Toys R Us with shitty toys no one wanted.Toys R Us died for a variety of reasons. TLJ toys was not one of them.
>>7941968>made $1.3 billion worldwide>not a successIt certainly fell short of some expectations, but you'd be retarded to deny it was a success. TLJ made a net profit of over $400 million.
>>7942115>Star Wars is on life support right now thanks to TLJ. Lmao imagine actually believing this.
>Solo and TROS both flopped, Solo flopped, but not because some people didnt' like TLJ.
TROS is underperforming, but that's because it is a heavily flawed movie that should have been delayed when they fired the original director.
>and the only thing the franchise has going for it is a Disney+ series that won’t even have a second season until this fall.And Rian Johnson's trilogy, and the new season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and the Cassian tv show, and the theme parks, and tons of other yet to be announced projects
>>7942439>Maybe to contrarians who thought that subverting expectations is "kino film" and that finally star wars was a serious adult film for them. No, to rational, sane people with brains.
>In reality, star wars was a franchise that made 3 billion in ticket sales and 15 billion in toy and merch sales over thirty years and six movies. Meanwhile, we've had 6 movies in under 5 years and literally no kid or collector wants to buy the toys or play/imagine make believe in that world.And now it's a franchise that has made billions across the new movies, and most of the toys that aren't literal who to the General Audience are selling.
>Rise of skywalker tried very hard to undo all the incredible damage tlj did, and it wasn't that successful because fixing a trainwreck after the fact is hard. The only thing TROS tried to do was be a rushed failure of an ending to the ST.
