Al Borland Corp. posted:Lucas was right to put these out over every three years. Two is too much of a rush. Hell, eighteen months to every two years put an incredible strain on the original series Star Trek movies, and those were produced on relative shoestring budgets by Paramount's television division. The only way it's possible for them to do it with giant spectacles like Star Wars is because each movie has a different director, so they get a head-start by beginning pre-production while the previous movie is still shooting or in editing. Fuligin posted:It baffles me that Disney was so eager to wring every drop of the franchise instead of letting it breathe a little. The only reason we don't have like a half-dozen Cars movies by now is because Pixar takes three to four years to produce a single film.

Fuligin posted:I see these stories on TLJ doing below expectations for the second part of a trilogy, but it seems kind of obvious that Rogue One screws that up a bit? At best it performed at the low end of expectations; I think it's fair to say that it didn't do as well as Disney probably hoped for but it still did well by just about any metric other than by comparison to TFA. I think there's probably one or two factors why it didn't do as well as it could have separate from the content of the movie itself, with the competition from Jumanji et al. (which TFA didn't have) being the big one. I wouldn't be surprised if other studios start putting movies out over Christmas, because they're not "scared" of Star Wars like they were for TFA and Rogue One.

My quick calculations estimate it made a 100% profit. Low end of expectations.

They might not literally be part of the same series, but to most folks I know Star Wars is Star Wars and audience exhaustion three years in a row isn't hard to anticipate. It baffles me that Disney was so eager to wring every drop of the franchise instead of letting it breathe a little. They spent a lot of money getting the rights to the IP.

Star Wars will continue to make a lot of money because ofc Star Wars but it's going to stop being a cultural event like it once was. Instead it'll be like hey you wanna go see that new Star Wars with baby Chewbacca, you wanna go see the new Star Wars with the monkey, you wanna go see the gay Star Wars etc.

More seriously, among other things, I read a Wall Street Journal article the other day (accessible here, but it's behind a paywall - the same information is summarised here) suggesting that TLJ fell $200m short of analysts' projections owing to a faster-than-expected decline in January.

It's potentially a good thing in the long run because people got so loving bored making superhero movies all the time that they had to start actually writing more interesting films like Logan and Deadpool. Maybe the same thing will happen to Star Wars and it can just become a background setting for more complex narratives than the one type of story Star Wars currently knows how to tell.

Strange that people compare the price Disney paid to the box office gross without accounting for, say, advertising, various cuts taken, etc. etc. etc.

It was worth it and then some, their return on the franchise is only getting started.

He ends the movie by picking up the "You'll be dead!" guy (played by Clint Howard this time) on lightsaber crystal planet and shuttling him to Tattooine. He'll be the connective tissue of all side stories going forward

Solo will use a lightsaber to fatally end the antagonist in a similar manner as Obi Wan using a gun on General Grievous.
