Is the any chance ANY CHANCE that this piece of shit will flop or at least perform worse than expected thanks to word of mouth, like the recent Battlefront 2 fiasco?

Please Sup Forums, give me some hope.

It won't. Just accept it already. It will crush a billion easy.

Merchandising alone guarantees that they'll be making Star Wars movies for the next 50 years.

Normies are fickle: they can devour seeming-endless shit, and then get uppity at the drop of a hat. Which is to say, I don't have any answers for you.

Remember, just like the prequels, this will be some kid's first Star Wars movie experience. They'll grow up with fond memories of it, and they'll swear it's always been good. When they take THEIR kids to see Episode 22, it'll be a whole new nostalgia wave.

it won't make as much as TFA but it'll do a billi easily

It's rated 95 percent on RT, they're professional critics, so they know.

>Episode 22
No...

>Yoda: "Let the books and the jedi burn, Luke, Rey is a stronk women and already knows everything."

>Battlefront 2 fiasco

lol it probably sold 10 times more than your japanese mario, zelda or persona shits.

With Domestic + Foreign it will easily make a billion

A lot of tickets were already bought. What happens the second weekend with repeat viewers could be interesting.

I hope it falls hard.

None. Only the hardcore SW nerds are upset over the raping of the lore/universe

normies are thrilled and treating it as a social event

It better be because BF2 has three install bases but i doubt that considering that its half off nearly everywhere i go.

I bet even Mass Effect Andromeda did better

This. I see it falling pretty sharply.

Everybody agrees that the transformers movies suck yet they make billions.

On average moviegoers are even dumber than gamers.

This. If you're ever lacking in your daily cringe quota, watch Star Wars trailer reaction videos on YouTube. Even better if you can find ones featuring girls with Crayola-colored hair.

>mindless retards enjoy token event of the month giving them an excuse to dress up and get wasted

lore/structure/established characters getting absolutely fucked aside, and all the leftist propaganda shilling going on... the film was gorgeous and the action was next-level

it will make bank, and it will be watched for years to come, because most people don't care about the first two things

99% of the people hating on this movie literally havent even seen it so what the fuck do you think?
It will easily make more than TFA.

How did Andromeda do anyway? I don't really follow that shit anymore

Why did they have to take Star Wars?

It was my life as a nerdy, bullied kid and now it's ruined. I fucking waited in line to see the prequels while all the girls shouted gross, I bought the shitty toys and vidyas for years, I wrote SW fanfic while people threw stuff at me, I pretended I was darth maul in my rool with a yard stick.

Now I sit here, seeing the worst piece of SW media bar none (Even worse than the absolute worst of the old EU), and I see the dwindling numbers of fans like me shake their heads in disgust while the crowds applause and critics give it a 100%. It's now a "social event" apparently and faggots who used to trip me in gym for drawing pictures of darth maul in study hall get married at star wars themed weddings.

WHY DID THIS HAPPEN

WHY WHY WHY

IT WASN'T THEIRS

>my disposable, childish media is better than yours
This is why your father won't hug you.

EA claims that it was "financial success" yet cancelled all DLC plans, closed the Bioware division who made the game and officially put the IP on ice

No it wont. The hype around TFA was insane.

Nerd culture has been completely assimilated by pop culture. There is no "us vs. them" anymore. It's all "them." They own all of it.

The Revenge of the Nerds was successful, too successful.

Star wars has always been shit. Now it's just shit for normals.

I actually think it might not do well. Went over to the cesspool that is reddit to see what they think and they are split. I can guarantee the majority of people who have read starwars books, will find this movie unacceptable in killing off Luke.
Conservatives will be irritated by the clearest case yet that the Jedi and old parts of starwars are to take a backseat to progressive quotas.

They will obviously do well with the segment of society that is obsessed with minority and feminist check boxes. But this movie over TFA will be a final straw for a big chunk of the most faithful fanbase. Polling shows that Women dont care much for starwars even with Disneys new outreach to them.

Im a 30 year old white male, but I have been to asia and I dont see this franchise doing as well as the last two. I feel like adjusted for ticket inflation that 8 and 9 are not going to do well. The third movie always generates the least interest and its going to be hard for die hard fans to not take Lukes death negatively

considering most people who have come out and leaked shit were saying the audience was full of confusion, laughing, and people asking if the shit on the screen was serious i think disney might have to go full on damage control for this film. I cant see anyone liking it.
>plebbit hates it
>dumblr hates it
>neofag hates it
>gamespot hates it
>fake news CNN hates it
>drumpf hates it
>hamill hates it and has been shitting on it day 1
once word of mouth gets out to the normalfags that it sucks, its gonna start burning. normalfags didnt like TFA as much as the media would have you believe either.

i still cant understand why disney decided to hire a man whos whole shtick was mystery boxes, and then not do anything with them. plot threads are let hanging, backstories left unexplained or even given a token hint at, the villain was murdered, the heros from the OT are all dead, the casino planet was apparently a huuuuuuuuge drag, and the movie itself is 2 hours and 15 minutes long.

normalfags are gonna leave the movie confused and disappointed

It will make 3 times that of Justice League

Word of mouth is going to boost it. This board isnt representative of what real people think. Plus it has 94% on RT

Who the fuck cares. I liked it and that's all that matters.

Who the fuck dresses up and gets wasted to see a movie?

>WHY DID THIS HAPPEN
>WHY WHY WHY
>IT WASN'T THEIRS

Because the entertainement and consumers business realised that passion = consumption.
Whatever hobby or passion you have, if it makes you pay eventually it will become mainstream if it can (large enough appeal, not MyLittlePony type of stuff).

Why did the tech industry become a fashion-like business again ? What is Apple ? What is Star Wars ?

>see you around kid

This, brother asked a day ago if I wanted to see this.

Are you me? Staceys with blonde hair and big tits who used to bully me in school went to the midnight screening. Star Wars is "theirs", now. This was all I had left, I'm going to kill myself now.

>at least perform worse than expected
It will just like the last two did. It will still make plenty of money though.

>Plus it has 94% on RT

What does word of mouth have to do with bribed reviewers on RT ?

There are tons of critically beloved movies that bomb, and no, TLJ will not bomb, but if word of mouth is poor it will do a lot less than what (((Disney))) has projected.

Youre fucking retarded cunt

My bro got tickets for the whole family, I kinda wanna watch it to see the pain in person. I'm so sorry.

how racist is asia lel?

>It will easily make more than TFA.

I can see it easily making 500mil less

>IT WASN'T THEIRS

lol fuck off cunt. Star Wars has always been for the normies.
Now if you were made about a Battle Star Galactica movie being loved you would have a point

((Theyll)) never stop making these. Before you die 50 will come out.

Post the green milk scene please

A young normalfag like you wouldnt have any idea what being a star wars fan in the early 90s was like.

>I'm proud of being a consumerist drone who defines his personality with kid's movies

They made their money back on initial sales because gamers are retards who pay for shit months before they get it.

and it's not all what he said though, smartass edgy fuck

Fucking idiot. The point was it was seen as nerd shit. Normalfags didnt give a fuck about and you were a loser if you did.

Speaks the truth. You fags who werent around back then don't remember. Star Wars fans were always made fun for being nerds and geeks, now liking it is hip and cool

There's just no way this movie will make less than $69 the theaters will be fucking PACKED

Someone please post luke milking that sea cow. Did it even happen? Fucking post it cunts.

True.
Nerdy 90s kid here.

I used to be a purist(I din't eat up EU garbage). Then they fucked up the canon. Now I'm embracing the EU to get my SW fix. Gonna' start playing SWTOR again, and play KotOR for the first time ever just to start.

Which books should I start with?

It happened.
Promise, bro.
Source: Me, I went to a midnight screening

Wouldn't bet on it. People need something to do on the weekend, and this movie will be playing so....

Post a fucking webm or link. I e been asking in every thread for the last hour. Not even a fucking fuzzy phone pic has been posted

the only books i read were by the guy who wrote kotor. the rule of two. sith protag is a lot more enjoyable. audiobook is on youtube

Read shadow of the empire. It's fun and sits right in between and then play the game afterwards on gog or something

>thanks to word of mouth
>implying the general opinion on this movie is negative

Please tell me some user photoshopped that to make all three of them look ridiculous, because if that's a professional job then those people need to be sacked

>getting bullied by bimbos
come on now

when nigger kiss chink chinee market go south

Luuke is fine, the name seems stupid but it was just a way to easily distinguish the clone from Luke on the page.
The EU was a very mixed bag though.

Thrawn Trilogy is really good.
Haven't read them for a while but I remember liking the first Jedi Academy trilogy too.

Both are godlike compared to Disney Wars. I'm just pretending faggot kike wars never happened and the EU is canon. GG.

Ever heard of the Zombie Simpsons user ? Well this is Zombie Star Wars.

Don't be so sure about that. 20 sure but the oversaturarion (they definitely want more than 1 film a year) is going to kill interest in it and the niche expanded universe which kept nerds interested for decades has been wiped out and replaced with mainstream garbage aimed at pushing feminism and fuck knows what other fag ideology.
Actually Transformers helps your point more than you realise. The 3rd & 4th films made over a billion each then the 5th suddenly underperformed right as they decided to also make spinoffs. If the Bumblebee movie does worse I don't know if they'll do another after that

most Asians are not like nazi level racist. More like what you would expect from typical grandparents in the US. Like in Korea tons of people found me fascinating because I what white, It tended to be younger people though. Tons of cosmetic adds have white women, even though there are pretty much none in Korea. Watched a korean cooking game show that had a Bulgarian and they referred to him as "The Bulgarian" and were laughing their asses off on the show. Blacks are seen as shady and have a negative stereotype in most Asian counties.

I don't know anyone whos hyped though. Nobody has even mentioned star wars to me when I think of it now.

Dear Sup Forums

First, fuck you. Second, you need to realize Trump is over. Far-right is over.

>Merkel pushing trump

the fucking irony

:^)

it will crush on the weekend, but judging at the reactions from people on facebook, I can say atleast 8 out 10 people are pissed off and telling others not to watch it

Literally none what so ever. Now if Disney would have locked scenes behind microtransactions...

they didn't take shit, the OT still exists and will always be the definitive way to experience the movies. if only they didn't fuck up the blu rays by adding all those shit to it, fucking george

like if normalfags knew about Exar Kun and Ulic Qel Droma, or about Jaina and Darth Caedus, or Thrawn, or the Great Sith War

according to a quick google search, bf2 did less than 20% of cod ww2, which did about 500 mil at launch
so bf2 is at about 100 mil give or take
SMO did 420 mil roughly at launch, and zelda did less than half of that so we will say 150 mil

The sheep will go for the hype but after a while the disillusion will fade, words will be said(mostly ppl pointing out problems and SJW calling them xyz) and nothing will have changed.
There are very few directors that could make a good star wars movie but none of them will get hired by Disney.
We have to accept that what we knew and loved is dead.

Beta uprising when? A few brave souls need to go TDKR in midnight showings. The mouse needs to be stopped.

Box office analyst here (not joking)

Early signs not looking great overseas. It's looking to drop around 35% in its opening day in Australia compared to TFA (it's 22:40 in Australia right now, so an hour or so left), and Australia is one of Star Wars' strongest overseas markets. It also dropped 40% from TFA in South Korea. It had a better drop in France, though - only 20%. It's still 3 weeks to go for a release in China but early signs there are looking poor - might only gross a few million over Rogue One ($69m), or possibly even less.

The film looks to be divisive among the core fanbase, so it's the complete opposite of TFA in that regard. WOM won't be as good. You can't expect this film to outright flop, but it might only make $1.4b or possibly even less. That'd be a 30%+ drop from TFA.

South Korea never gave a shit about SF movies. Blade Runner 2049 flopped there and if you look at what they saw instead it was Kingsman 2. They didn't watch the OT or the prequels before TFA, and if they didn't watch the first film of the new trilogy why would they watch the sequel?

>professional critics
AHAHAHA

>thanks to word of mouth

Please please take some time away from Sup Forums sometime. Sup Forums is like the only place hating on this movie.

>I don't know how Rotten Tomatoes works

It works by aggreating scores from professional critics. Certifield fresh means a sizable majority of critics praised the movie more than they disparaged it.

It's a shit movie and they had no reason to praise it.

Think before you post, bonobo

Is this true? Everyone else likes it?

>Certifield fresh means a sizable majority of critics praised the movie more than they disparaged it.
And unless you know each and every individual score, you're conflating a percentage with an actual score. I'm onto you, fag.

>HURR OPINIONS ARE BAD
I don't shit on your weeb pedo anime simply because it's not for me. You should probably exercise the same sort of self-control before getting this upset.

Killing all characters like Luke and Han Solo is OK because Star Wars was never about interesting characters.
Recycling the story of previous Star Wars movies is OK because Star Wars was never about the story.
Recycling the set pieces like the Millennium Falcon is OK because Star Wars was never about interesting set pieces.

I FUCKING LOVE STAR WARS

here's that (you) you wanted

>I pretended I was darth maul in my rool with a yard stick
This user might be the fat star wars kid from the video. Also how did you actually like Maul? I thought he looked like he'd be a cool villain from the posters, then I saw the movie and he just showed up for 2 minutes and did nothing.

...

A movie titled Star Wars may feature two hours of fat, naked, mentally challenged men eating their own poop, at it would still make gazillion dollars. It would actually be a challenge to make a Star Wars movie flop.

I went to the midnight showing in Edinburgh, where they had a 2D, 3D, IMAX and 4DX showing and none of them were sold out. The 3D one we went to was half empty, too. I was really surprised.

youtu.be/d0C_Dnt7k_0

You haven't actually watched the movie, so why are you calling it shit?

>t. Disney shill

TFA did over 2 billion though so that would be a step backwards
