I'm surprised the Disney marketing machine let Star Wars TLJ happen

Disney really messed that up. When Luke tossed the lightsaber behind him, it ruined it.

RSL

Dropping it would have been a better way to show Luke was rejecting what was coming for him.

What do you mean?

RSL

I'm saying, if RJ wanted Luke to reject his past, dropping the saber would have accomplished the same without

Oh, yes. I agree 100%.

My 6 year old daughter loves her. You’re probably not the target market

My daughters love her too (ages 11 & 13). They both loved TLJ.

They also dropped the ball on Solo by letting it come out 5 months after TLJ

And it was a good movie

2/5/19 12:11pm

It's definitely a solid Star Wars movie. The connection to the greater plan is puzzling but as a standalone

And now we'll never know how it integrates into the big picture

The more I think about Solo, the less I like it.

On top of that they purposely mocked and flipped off lifetime Star Wars fans.

You deserved it.

They chose to ignore Lucas in favor of fan service films.

Except they didn't even favor fans. They took everything fans loved and

And yet it’s the worst pure “Star Wars” movie ever. Weird.

Episodes I and II would like to have a word with you.

chilango

They were bad. But at least they were Star Wars movies instead of some crappy

I've noticed that, generally speaking, those who were young (early 20s or

TLJ was a better “movie” than Ep 2. It was NOT a better pure Star Wars movie.

Neither did I or II, especially I. Episode I was awful in every way, and II was

And it should have made much more and licensing sales were way down for it.

mudpupper

Maybe so. But almost any business would take that ROI in a heartbeat.

But it still lost. Fans everywhere dropped interest overnight. Their strategy of

FYI, Cinemascore gives Phantom Menace an A-. It's not a high bar to get an A.

Good point, that was a truly terrible movie.

Ah yes. It was the Alt Right that convinced us all the movie is worthless

2/5/19 12:37pm

Everyone was going to see TLJ, everyone. Hype going in was huge.

I'm not saying it was as good as TFA or Rogue One. It wasn't. Just pointing out
