A P O L O G I Z E

Why is this funny? It's sad.

>Star Wars movies used to come out once every 3-4 years with decades long gaps between trilogies
>Now Disney shits out a movie a year

Anyone seriously surprised by this?

>As things are going now, The Last Jedi is drifting further away from The Force Awakens' numbers and closer to a Rogue One sized lifetime gross, a result that would be truly catastrophic given the opportunity lost for the new film and its potential impact on the franchise's future prospects.

Kill the past. Let it die if you have to.

I can't fathom how they fucked this movie up, it was simple, give Rey some character development, answer a few questions from JJ's mystery box in TFA and make Luke look like a bad ass Jedi with a decent lightsaber battle. That's all they had to fucking do.

Instead no questions are answered, they hamfist in political agendas, and after running and dodging the movie, they kill him off a like a bitch.

This
Star Wars fans are actually easy to please. It just needs to be coherent with good action that respects the world George created.

This.
All the fans would have loved the movie if Luke went out like a straight G and showed that he was the greatest Jedi of all time. But (((nooooo)))

No idea, its like they just let Rian do whatever the fuck he wanted and they just stamped the approval. The only disney inject are the cringe marvel quips.

Did they not have someone with an above 80 IQ read his script?

George was always right.

Ding ding ding!

It's karma.

No, you were right the first time

>a giant multibillion dollar company not making as much money as they could is sad

BRUH LOOK AT THIS DUDE OH NO NO NO NO NO
AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *

it seems like they can only do total committee or total auteur, nothing in between.

maybe hollywood isn't hurting for good directors, maybe they're just hurting for good producers; someone with the budget in mind and a common person's head on their shoulders to keep the artists from flying off into bullshit land.

Sounds like typical mansplaining from disgruntled needs who don't want to see change

t.stupid cunt that deserves to get hit by a god damn car.

>fast and the furious keeps getting better
>star wars is a fucking train wreck that needs to be put to pasture
life is strange

get back to plebbit, scum

HOW

Holy Jesus.

>I can't fathom how they fucked this movie up, it was simple, cut Rey entirely, have the film be a buddy movie with Finn and Poe and pretend TFA doesn't exist. That's all they had to fucking do.

FTFY

>TLJ is shit
>therefore we should apologize for the prequels being slightly less shit
Sup Forums logic

>prequels are shit

whats going on reddit

>doesn't agree with opinion
>le reddit boogeyman meme
>ad hominem
never change

I LOVE THE MOUSE EATING SHIT

YASSSSSSS

>Based Forbes comes in swinging with Roast #3

I don't apologize for them being shit. I apologize for breaking George's spirit causing him to sell to Disney.

To quote Donald Trump, "I like to see bad people [movies] fail."

when we going to get a decent rip? like most you fellow 4chaners im too fat to leave my home and i detest cams

Fuck that cunt. He ruined the Original Trilogy with pointless special editions and then told everyone to go fuck themselves when they wanted the old films back.

They are objectively bad movies

WE DID IT Sup Forums!!!!

i never understood this from a business point. everyone bought the special editions, then said they wanted to buy the unaltered version, and he was like fuck you. i always thought george lucas was famous for his business savy.

prequels>numale Wars

It isn't looking too good

>my pile of shit is better then your pile of shit

It's not sad, you faggot. The original Star Wars will live on for eternity. But this piece of shit deserved to bomb.

Sheev is just happy to be there

>why isnt the 3rd star wars movie in 3 years doing as well as the first star wars movie in 15 years?
i cant tell if Sup Forums is retarded or just pretending anymore

Fucking lol
I wonder how far it would have fallen without the insane amount of shilling and damage control

>the denial
it's okay work through the stages of grief

It's the perfect Christmas present.

see

I'd say Cinemascore and whatever other dickhead outfit rates these movies needs to have their methodology put under a spotlight, including the possibility that they accept bribes. I see very little positive discussion about this movie. It's getting shit on everywhere.

You seem awfully butthurt about nuWars being called shit, though.

This is surely some alt-right scheme that prevents people from accessing the theaters.

so whats the current explanation why fans hate THE BEST STAR WARS MOVIE EVER?

>denial
sorry senpai, but the OT are the only star wars worth caring about. im just not an idiot who dosent understand how things work.

I'm curious how that compares to other movies in general, like the Batman movies. Anyone know how they fared?

Sasuga. Omae wa shindeiru star warsu

nah, im just mad anyone has the nerve to say the prequels are better then anything. the prequels are pure garbage, no matter how bad the new trilogy, or the next trilogy are, they could only be as bad as the prequels, there is no being worse then the prequel trilogy

>not an idiot
>liking the prequels
pick one

People would love it if those movies were good. But instead they push an agenda that most Star Wars fans dislike.

>We did it, бpaтoчки.

>state i only like the original trilogy
>dumb user posts greentexts that i like the prequels

Prequels>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>nuWars. They're not just better, they're miles better than nuWars.

Everytime there is remotely positive discussion an angry mob shows up and tells people that their opinion is wrong and that they're shills. And about half the people in that mob haven't even seen TLJ yet.

I watched it. Didn't love it, didn't hate it. Don't give a fuck about your revolution.

hey retard, the trend is down all the time as WoM spreads. The movie ain't crossing anywhere near FA levels and that is purely due to it being shit, the openings were close in numbers.

Enough of this TLJ crap. So..should I get into the Dark Empire trilogy? Probably ten times better than this fanfic garbage.

this is actually pretty fascinating how sharply it has dropped off, it's almost like the original fanbase of hardcore fans has shrunk and they are totally relying on casual viewers to carry the film, this proves general hearsay is extremely powerful and you can expect future market advertisers to attempt to heavily influence initial hearsay in the future through some kind of social engineering and shilling, their usual formula of having magazines and various media outlets spam articles of praise is clearly not working and they will definitely try a new angle next time, I can only imagine the millions they are spending under the table with all the current shilling and even that is not enough

Oh
Disregard me
I suck cocks

TLJ will now be known as The Fandom Menace.

prequels where every dialogue scene is walk from point a to point b and then walk back to a again. and hideous cgi, laughable script, megalomaniac director. Name five actors in the prequels who still have careers.

schadenfreude

rots was in 2005

Good. Fucking homos wrecking a great movie franchise for no good reason.

Yes, kill the past, dont learn from it, but yet also rip it off.

They didn't even need to be good, honestly.

PEACE

Sequels where they destroy your beloved character in the most despicable ways, the new characters all suck and the point of the old movies rendered moot. Laughable script is nuWars were the Republic, led by Justin Trudeau disbands its military in order to appease the First Order who are the heir of the Empire that dominated the Republic just a few years ago. And sweetie, anyone not near the retard spectrum would prefer a megalomaniac director than a director who has no idea wtf he is doing like Rian Johnson. I can watch each of these prequels, including AOTC, multiple times before I'm willing to watch TLJ™. It was so damn bad that I needed to play on my phone during the movie in order to ease my boredom.

stupid faggot

It's... a bit different than your typical SW story and the art isn't for everyone but yes it's a thousand times better than TLJ. The first two are pretty good but the third is a rushed mess, mostly fucked up by editorial decisions.

Well, at least it's keeping pace with the other charmless phoned-in cash grabs.

cool story bro

Choose one and stay there.

>gets told
>w-well everything is shit anyway so w-who cares!

HAHAHAHAHA

A 77% drop is bad for any movie.

I love it when they get mad

>Sup Forums is one person
Stop talking to yourself you fucking spastic.

Pretty much. Star Wars movies used to be a rare treat, so much so that even when they were bad, you'd still go out and see them. Now they're just a yearly thing. Who cares?

does anyone have a spreadsheet that combines international with domestic over the first week. It's the only numbers that I'm really interested in

RLM review has already 850 thousand hits lol

their lukewarm response was the BEST way to tank the movie

Watching that fat fuck Angry Joe turn around and start shilling for it after his Disney check cleared really shocked me desu, dude tore it apart last week

> Ms. Hart’s first move was to make the story group entirely female, starting with Rayne Roberts and Carrie Beck. [...] They wanted to tell beautiful stories, fulfill the expectations of loyal fans and create meaningful female characters.

> In addition to maintaining the continuity of the “Star Wars” universe, they aim to increase its diversity.

You forgot about Pewdiepie shitting on it as well.

>Reddit Letter Media
You have to go back.

Yeah well, considering they're going to be brutally shitting on it for 4 hours solid in the near future, it makes sense not to go too hard in the warmup.

>they aim to increase its diversity.

God I hate these cunts. The SW universe was diverse as fuck before the canon wipe. But of course diversity these days means black people and bland white women with brown hair.

>We gonna have diversity!
>Nice, where's the red tentacled alie- oh it's another black woman with an afro

>maintaining the continuity
>increase its diversity
All I'm getting from this is "total cast replacement".

Finn was supposed to be the first disabled black hero of SW. At the end of TFA Kylo slashed its spine. Finn was supposed to return with a prosthetic back, but R. Johnson changed that subplot. At the beginning of TLJ Finn is fine and his jacket doesn't show any damage.

>set up badass mystery villain
>who the fuck is this guy?
>lol no he dies after doing like one or two things
Bravo disney.

>Name 5 actors in the prequels that still have careers
Liam Neeson, Ewan McGregor, Keira Knightly, Samuel L Jackson, and Natalie Portman. And that's just from Phantom Menace, m8.

The people who rate it low. Will also see the movie like 4 times. Let that sink in.

>make the story group entirely female
Could explain the complete lack of consistency.

how much did suicide squad drop again after the second week?

It was going to happen, but people are surprised by how rapidly it all went to shit.
My personal prediction was that it would only seriously start flagging around the first spin off after IX

r they gonna cut your pajeetbucks?
