A silly little mouse!
I've been calling that they would give Rose the Jar Jar treatment and shuffle her quietly off the stage since TLJ came out. No one liked her but so Disney can pretend they didn't bet big on a bad character (And avoid admitting the racists and sexists kinda got what they wanted) so they'll have her in the background of one scene and Poe says "And Rose will stay behind to guard the base" And we don't see her again till Ewok Party 2.0

So some article just came out that says there's three cuts of the new movie and they all suck rear end.
The one that sucks the LEAST rear end is done by George Lucas himself and introduces a "secret Skywalker"after a major reshoot of the second and third acts of the film.
Per this particular article the initial second and third acts scored a 12 and 4 out of 100 with test audiences initially, lol

There's a big delta between "saw something at a Walmart" and "despite being a total nobody claims to have insider information that falls perfectly in-line with his reactionary worldview"

First gave the neckbeards the bland nostalgia goo and they didn't like it. Next tried some spices, something new and different, and they hated it even more. Now it's back to bland nostalgia goo( hey it's that guy from that thing, remember him?) and they hate it even more than the first goo. Damned if you do, damned if you don'

I think this clusterfuck is good for the overall of humanity cause when the mega franchises become just as risky as making new creative content we might see companies investing more into new content.

China isn't watching them either.
Star Wars was banned in the 70s and 80s, so there is very little nostalgic factor in china to go to see them.
Remember they had to rename 'Solo: A Star Wars Story' to 'Ranger Solo' as they wouldn't know who the gently caress Han Solo is.

my nephew used to love star wars. he would dress in a jedi costume for days on end when he was a kid. but after seeing what Disney did he no longer gives two fucks about star wars. they killed it, disney is 100% to blame.

his favorite movie is Episode 2, he was more nostalgic for the prequels than the originals!

Understandable as thats the one he relates to the most seeing them for the first time.

In an alt universe right now, we are all wondering how Luke, Han, Leia, etc are going to beat Admiral Thrawn now since he found the long lost Clone ships.
