I want Star Wars to go away and never, never ever come back.

Problem is the actors who play rey and finn feel fake and cringey as fuck. As if theyve never gone outside and got their hands dirty before.

And to make it worse, they are upstaged by stronger actors and even stronger characters.

I'm calling it now, it'll do somewhere between Civil War and Rogue One money. So not technically a flop but behind the scenes the Disney boardroom will be in flames because that'll be a straight billion less than they expected.
>>
>>83545052
Well movie 2 in both trilogies made less money than the first, so they would have to expect it on some level. I think they figure doing one SW movie a year for 5 decades in a row will end up making them money.

Yet another example of how /tv/'s echo chamber keeps you out of reality.

>>
>>83545308
Who cares what people like?
There are people that swear by $9 lasagne without ever having tried anything else.

It's a stupidly written movie in that everything as so far as character development is resting on the sequels.

Not a bad movie, but not an interesting one.
They played it safe, made the Episode IV references and then everyone clapped in the theater.

>>83545437
People didn't see Empire Strikes Back or Attack of the Clones out of "obligation". Of course there are a lot of pathetic slaves to Disney marketing compared to what George was doing, so you could be right.
>>
While it won't flop by any stretch of the imagination, and will definitely brake a billion, we should also remember it won't be making 2 billion like TFA did because it doesn't have the "no Star Wars movie in a decade" factor helping it, and it's genuinely amazing that Rogue One only barely managed to cross the billion line at the last second.

The movie's only hope of making Disney rethink how it's doing things is if it under-performs far beyond their expectations.
>>
>>83543239
The film doesn't come out for 6 months. What do you expect? They've probably focus-grouped the marketing and know people are fatigued after Rogue One and their 30 superhero films a year so they'll suddenly start dropping shit in September, maybe even October, to create a hype that doesn't have to last long. Another easy billion for Disney.
>>
>>83545606
TFA didn't make 2 billion
>>
>>83545578
But people did see Revenge of the Sith out of obligation, because it was neither hype or hope the bad one was a one off instead of how the trilogy would be as a whole that did it.

>>83545700
Why would they "force" anything when just making more then The Avengers 1.5 billion would have done just that given the fact no Star Wars movie ever did that unless you adjust for inflation.

Uhhh.... Space ships? laser swords? sci-fi technology? Aliens?

I know you're just pretending to be retarded but come the fuck on..
>>
>>83545747
So they could cook the books enough to cross 2 billion, even though that's still well over 750 million less then Avatar?
>>
>>83545759
ok those are fair points, but it's not based on the science, it's just a backdrop for fantasy elements. George based it on Buck Rogers not PKD

>>83543239
Probably will because of those alt right assholes who will purposely ignore it because they can't handle a white woman,black man protagonist combo.

>>83545766
Yes. You're dealing with Disney, the most soulless corporation out there.

But there's no face to be saved, just making more then any of Marvel's movies ever did would alone make it look "big" and "back"

>>83543355

you underestimate the stupidity of normies. If it says star wars, they will show up.

>>83545880
They bought Star Wars to be the biggest thing ever forever, this isn't some random capeshit. They want Avatar money, but got tricked by JJ into making some nostalgia fest that wasn't even filmed completely in 3D.
>>
>>83545960
But it wasn't going to make Avatar money no matter who made it. Hell it was going to make about 2 million no matter how it turned out because it was all hype on nostalgia anyway.

Plus while it isn't random capeshit, they paid as much for it as the capeshit so making more then it is by default a win.
>>
>>83543239
literally 8 months until release and a thread everyday.

There's no way this makes less than a billion, and that's turning a huge profit assuming TFA budget.
It's near impossible for disney to fuck this up. They're gonna make money on star wars even considering the 6 billion buyout if you factor in merch.

>>
>>83546065
yeah once it was obvious it wasn't getting Avatar level repeat business, but the whole goal was to make as much money as possible. I think they actually have a chance with 3 if they make Rey the villain and go full throttle on the 3D but I find both to be unlikely.
>>
>>83543239

what you think disney was gonna do? not run it into the ground mercilessly lel
>>
>>83545485
>>83545759
It's structurally a fantasy with a science fiction aesthetic.

It's about a boy who becomes the chosen one and has to learn to become a knight who can do magic during a great battle between good and evil, to save a princess from an evil wizard. The fact that there are lasers and robots is purely just for show.

It's like how game of thrones is a political drama in a fantasy setting. The whole point of game of thrones is to go against what defines fantasy as a genre

Objectively wrong

Arya is about a million times more interesting than Rey, even the biggest marketing weasel for Disney Corp. would admit that

It won't flop because even eople who hated TFA are willing to give it a chance. Disney was smart enough to get a different director for each movie so that people would pretend it's gonna be good this time.
However, if it's a crappy movie just like TFA or if Luke character is failed like Han Solo. I'm not sure people would be interested anymore.
I personally will never pay for a Disney Star Wars ever again.
>>
>>83546643
No, that doesn't happen. SW sequels always make less. This could be different but I see no reason why.
>>
>>83546643
And even then, the people who hated TFA are statistically a really really tiny minority.

Outside of /tv/ it's almost purely "great with maybe a few nitpicks"

Literally everyone I've spoken about it with IRL liked it (other than my mom, who's just bitter because she's a massive trekkie)

LOL, faggots will stop at nothing to try and rebuttal anything because they simply are unable to like TFA.

1) TFA was successful because it made a fuck load of money.

2) TFA is liked by many star wars fans.

3) There is nothing you can do or say that will make people not like something.

4) it doesn't effect you whatsoever if other people liked something that you don't like

5) its just a movie, go outside or kill yourself

On a side note, I can't wait for episode 8. Don't care what other people think about it. I loved TFA and I enjoyed the fact that it was just like the OT. I don't care for the prequels. I don't care for Rogue one. TFA is one of my favorite star wars films. Can't wait for 8. Rian Johnson is a good director and writer. I'm happy he is trying to keep it visually similar to Empire Strikes Back. If this triggers anyone, kill yourselves. People who spend all their time regurgitating their hate for this movie is far more of a loser than the people they disagree with for liking the movie.

If you think this is going to flop you are insane. Normal people don't jerk off to lightsabers and the most boring sci fi series all year in anticipation for the next flick.

People see wow it's coming out in a month, let's get hype so we can pretend we're nerds and actually give a fuck. Also there is not many films coming out at that time so it will make a killing. Seriously how delusional or being a prequel cocksucker do you have to believe that this shitty franchise is in any way going to die down.

Rouge one was a side story. Noone cared. Episode 8 will be different.

Rey is better than any fucking character in GoT. GoT is normie tier garbage. It's not well written. People praise it for just being hip and different. In reality, characters that develop and never complete their arc are just poorly written fluff. The prequels, TFA, even Rogue One is better written than game of thrones.

It was made to be liked you tasteless plebe, it was a Big Mac when people hadn't had McDonald's in years. Now it's just a greasy burger no one wants. It'll do good business but less than TFA.

Again, this is why the show sucks. Arya as a character is better than Rey, they've just fucked the show up so badly now. The statement "there are no good characters" is nonsense cause while the show has ruined them, the original characters themselves were great.
>>
>>83546728
I'm not sure what you mean. I have zero interest in the Disney Star Wars. I gave them a chance with Rogue because everybody said it was good. It was actually 2hours of fanservice with a completely stupid script that looked like a videogame mission.
>>
>>83546750
Easy. Attack of the Clones is like a 50s movie that I love. I don't mind the romance because that's how it was in movies I grew up to watching on AMC. Don't really see a problem with it. It's more of an adventure. A story actually about Anakin as a Jedi (the only movie about Anakin as a Jedi). It has Christopher Lee. It has similarities to Empire Strikes Back. The visuals are better than Phantom Menace. Phantom Menace had shit characters. Darth Maul was a terrible character.
>>
>>83546702
Your vision is clouded by the loud fanboys and Disney shills. You have no idea of how many people hated that movie and lost interest. Just because they don't voice their opinion on Internet doesn't mean they don't exist
>>
>>83546808
Darth maul is probably the best character in the prequels purely because we never had to listen to any fucking George Lucas dialogue
>>
>>83546827
They're statistically negligible.

Like, a 1% of sad nerd fanboys on /tv/ and some other obscure forums.

I love Star Wars hype and hope this movie does well so the major studios can make more Twi'lek porn.

I saw Avatar in the cinema, and while I didn't like the movie, I loved the Nav'i porn, and can't wait for the hype when Avatar 2 comes out. I think a lot of people on /tv/ need to grow up and realize that film franchises mean a lot more to people that just the movies.

>>83546827
Those people don't matter. most the people who lost interest don't even like star wars for the same reason I like it. I like star wars because I grew up on the OT. I didn't read comics or take video games serious like half the nerds out there. I even like the prequels as they are part of my childhood. The Force Awakens was a throwback to the OT. That is exactly what I always wanted ever since I was 10 years old watching the Phantom Menace. Even as a 10 year old kid, it always bothered me how different the prequels were from the originals.
>>
>>83546907
I always feel like I need to give TFA two scores. 7/10 movie, 3/10 Star Wars movie.
>>
>>83546808
To me I feel AoTC is "do nothing of actual importance until we get to Genoisa". Anakin snapping like he did was alright in theory, but the execution was out of left field. If they hinted at his repressed anger or even sheev already hinting to go to the dark side earlier, it would've been better.

I don't know, I feel the whole prequel trilogy could've been RoTS stretched over 3 movies.
>>
>>83543239
It will "flop", just like ep 2 flopped compared to ep1.
>>
>>83546849
No. He is poorly written. He has no motivations other than "REVENGE ON THE JEDI" blah blah blah. THe fight scene had no emotion. It was void of anything. I enjoyed TFA lightsaber fight more than Duel of the Fates. Hell, Kylo Ren is better than any villain in the prequels.
>>
>>83546947
How is it bad as a star wars movie?

The film's biggest criticism was that it was TOO MUCH of a star wars movie

>>83546960
You've got to admit; he singlehandedly fueled the children's face-paint economy though.
>>
>>83546950
Revenge of the Sith is arguably the worst prequel.
>>
>>83546960

The idea that a non-stih dark side user looking up to a sith lord like Vader is interesting and can explore the many forms of the dark side.

>>83546883
I can only speak for myself, but I didn't want to rain on anyone's parade and talk about how lame I thought it was, but everyone I know liked it. They seemed to calm down after a couple of months and realized it had flaws and the same circle of friends thought Rogue One was disappointing.

But the prequels, visually and creatively, have more in common with the originals than TFA does. I mean besides all the nostalgic regalia it looks like any cold, post 9-11 movie you could name, with a lens flare so you know JJ directed it.

Which is ironic, the LOST pilot is more true to the OT than TFA
>>
I still love Star Wars but the problem is that Disney are going hard down the path of releasing a new SW every year without a clear focus on what the end goal for these characters is.
They should be doing the episodic titles at least every 3 to 4 years with maybe a spin off thrown in there.
People have way too many options now when it comes to being entertained and now Disney is running the risk of letting SW become just more noise instead of a blockbuster event that everyone feels like they need to see.

Rogue one was universally thought of as "cool but flawed"

People seem to accept that that film had a whole bunch of problems. The force awaken's problems were comparatively a lot more vague and nitpicky, while the pacing and characters and stuff in R1 were obviously not perfect.

Being too similar to a new hope or being a mary sue is a lot more up in the air, while the massive time jumps and pointless characters and the two lead's total lack of personality are really clear

>>83547063
That is the opposite of true
as >>83546981 said, the main criticism was that it borrowed way too heavily from the original trilogy.
The prequels really diverged into their own thing. The aesthetic and narrative were completely new.
>>
>>83547102
George had it right. Do some cartoon and video games and some novels. Problem is he let them do anything so he had to rewrite them or whatever they call it in comic books where you make up some bullshit.

Oh yeah? you must watch a lot of Disney movies. I don't. I don't watch marvel shit. I don't watch cartoons. I don't watch the disney channel.

Lucasfilm may be owned by Disney, but those people in the company mostly worked with George. Ever since the 80s, Star Wars has had similar message and style to classic Disney films. It's not really a surprised that they were the ones to purchase it. Go watch the Dark Shit if you want some gritty mindless crap. TFA is good for kids and loved by all ages just like all star wars movies.

that's the thing, TFA didn't need shilling. It had plenty of it but it had a natural hype.

Yeah I'm a feminist because I like a movie with a female lead. Yeah I'm a retarded fan boy because I like a movie that is just like the OT that I grew up with. I don't buy toys. I don't buy comic books. I don't play the video games. I'm just a fan of the movies. TFA gave me a movie that reminded me of when movies were good. George Lucas designed Star Wars to pay homage to classic cinema and mythology. TFA gives us that again. TFA is more of a conservative film than anything else that comes out these days. I don't care for marvel movies. I don't care for shitty mindless entertainment with violence and nudity like Game of Thrones. I enjoy films that have a sense of morality.

there's more senseless murder in TFA than there is in all of GoT. Keyword: Senseless

George released his sequels every 2-3 years for a reason. It's a hand crafted movie, he cares about the story and characters and will try to perfect it. Disney is releasing cash grab every year to please the producers and shareholders. The ykicked Michael Arndt because he needed more time for the script, they hired JJ ABrams for a quick hackjob just because the producers couldn't wait 6 months.
Now Star Wars is dead

>>83547426
Yeah, you're a reatrded fanboys if you don't see that TFA tramples everything that made the Star Wars special. You might as well enjoy Michael Bay's movies.
>>
>>83547675
If you don't see that TFA is a good sequel to the OT and that it's well made and faithful to those movies, you're the retard. You probably are also not much of a star wars fan. You probably just like playing the video games and you probably have no appreciation for the OT.

Yeah GoT had like no senseless deaths at all until Bolton faggotry, then it still evens out to one or two a season. Meanwhile in TFA there are entire scenes like le octopus that shouldn't even exist going on.

Rogue 1 is just like a fan film.
It's the kind of film an avid reader of mediocre extended star wars material would have written.

I gave up on Star Wars after ep7. Pirated Rogue and will probably never buy another ticket again for one.

Loved TFA. Can't wait for TLJ. I'm glad a lot of you don't like Star Wars anymore. Less posh faggots in my star wars discussions. Empire made the least money out of all the star wars movies and it now is considered one of the best movies all time. Really don't care what others think.

Star Wars can't possibly flop. HOWEVER, it's not a simple flop/not-flop question. If star wars had previously brought in 2 billion in revenue (hypothetical numbers) per movie, and now only brings in 1 billion per movie, that's clearly showing some sort of drop-off in support. Sure, it's still making a fuckton, but it's showing that star wars is becoming less of a money-printer than it had, and that if it continues along this projection, it'll go lower and lower.

I actually don't know if that's happening or will happen. I'm just saying that a movie doesn't literally need to make no money in order to show that something is wrong.

No, anyone trying to say it's more than a 6/10 (or less than a 4) are just wrong.

VII is the safest, blandest, most boring movie. But no one does any air twirls or visits any 50's diners, so we're obligated to give it a little credit just by that virtue. But really, you take the label off it, and it's basically on the same level as shit like Oblivion. Who remembers Oblivion? lol

I think VIII will be more entertaining, as there is nowhere to go but up. I don't plan to see any more Star Wars movies.

This guy's not wrong. TFA is RELATIVELY closer.

Watching Kasdan turn out to be a total hack was one of the saddest parts of all this.

>>83548402
Ep 9 will be the true test. The first movie will always have a boost regardless.
>>
why do redditshits talk about how much money a movie makes?
unless you are a producer/investor, it doesn't matter. It has nothing to do with quality.
Please go back.

>Uhhh.... Space ships? laser swords? sci-fi technology? Aliens?
It's true these are things also seen in science fiction, but Star Wars is not science fiction. There needs to be at least an attempt at science in science fiction, that's why it's called science fiction. How the space ships work is never explained, how the swords work is never explained. How anything works is never even given a name let alone an explanation.

If you watch something like the old star trek or stargate etc. they devote a lot of time to creating pseudo-scientific explanations to things. How feasible those explanations are is a big part in what makes a science fiction film or series good. Star Wars borrows the science fiction landscapes but it does absolutely nothing in terms of trying to be science fiction.

I'm sure there are expanded universe books that do qualify as science fiction, but I have no interest in those and am only talking about the official movies.

>>83543239
It won't. Kids salivate at the sound of Star Wars, marketing or not.

>>83547426
Yes, you're retarded, because you consume everything that has your "brand" on it, be it SW or feminism. I enjoy a good movie, you enjoy a movie with a woman in it, see the difference?
>>
>>83551786
I hate feminism and I hate faggots. I'm even a bit racist. I even voted for Trump. I've been posting on /pol/ for years. I still like star wars and recognize it's a good movie. Kill yourself, faggot.

Who wants to watch a movie where a bunch of fags talk about how spaceship engines work? Sounds pretty gay.

Kek, it's almost baffling how wrong those anons were.

I hated TFA, but anyone who seriously thought it would only do AOTC business is out of touch with reality.
