And? You think that will stop them from making more of those?

APOLOGIZE

fuck off, George

I TRIED SO HARD

You think it funny


At the end of the day they have more money that everyone on Sup Forums will ever have

But I still have a soul

you can say the same thing about a prostitute that relies on burned out wall street brokers

>b-but at least she's/they're making bank!

AND GOT SO FAR

Ummm no sweetie, people will be losing jobs hunny bunch.

>implying a company that big can't lose 700 million as easily as they made it

I never doubted you George

It will still end well north of a billion and was never going to do Force Awakened numbers. Kennedy might listen to hardcore fans a little more for IX, but not that much.

Would Sup Forums be willing to put up with another all CGI Lucasfilm in 2018 with laughably terrible dialogue if they knew these abominations would never be canon?

august ames had half a million in the bank at age 23 so she was richer than me and most people on earth. she was also a dumb harlot who ate nut for a living and killed herself because of shitty e-drama lol, so now she's fucking dead and I'm not

and it doesn't even matter, >hurr star wars is richer than you is not an argument, this movie was a massive fuckup and these numbers show that and it is equally sad + hilarious

This movie completely destroyed Star Wars. Nothing except wiping 7 & 8 from canon can fix this

Rylo (Revan+Bastilla) off course

GOD YES

>all CGI Lucasfilm in 2018 with laughably terrible dialogue
You're talking about the ST, right?

They have money, but never will have taste. They can buy the whole world, but nothing they do will ever shine like the worst of George Lucas.

Just imagine. It's like being the richest man in town, playing a golden violin, but you play like shit and everyone laughs at you and in the streets they sing that silly song some fat old hobo sang for them years ago.

I would have traded my little finger for George to direct some new Star Ways movies.
I actualy enjoy the prequels in a half ironic half sincere way, they are at least very entertaining and memorable unlike what Disney does.
every scene is either unironically great or so bad that it's funny.

Godard said that French Cinema has no money and American Cinema has no ideas. You can clearly see this in the new Star Wars trilogy, but they lack a heart too.
I watched institutional videos with more deep and respect for what is presented than a tent-pole movie created by the biggest studio in Hollywood. Think about that for a minute.

You know what's ironic? No one gave a fuck about weekend drops and box office legs until Disney shills started spamming those terms to try to make BvS look like a flop. Now TLJ has dropped almost as much as BvS grossed in its opening weekend.

tl;dr lmao

>HOW'D YOU WANT YOUR STAR WARS BRO?

>JUST FUCK MY FRANCHISE UP PHAM

>AIGHT I GOTCHA COVERED MAN

Fuck off mickey

Yes, but the prequels are canon so who cares if these would be too.
Jar-Jar saying retarded shit and being canon is whatever, because people say retarded shit all the time. Hyperspace ramming being canon is 100x worse because it basically broke the universe

For all of their terrible dialogue and static scenes, Lucas knew how to write and direct a story. Maybe nothing incredibly intricate or deep, but he could get tell you a basic story from start to finish in an effective and even enjoyable way.

Rian Johnson couldn't even do that.

Fun fact: TPM alone has more practicals then the OT combined

good pls flop i can't wait that my robot star wars girl friend stops buying star wars crap all time

You know you fucked up when even the SJW's wonder what happened to the male characters.

I always believed in you George. These plebs are realizing they were wrong.

Yup. Lucas' worst is still better than Disney's best. At first I liked TLJ but after spending more time here and thinking about it I dislike it. Not only the movie but the political environment around it.

Star Wars is not a franchise about plot points, logic, or actions; it’s a franchise about ideas and feelings. And the point of this sequence is the idea of oppression and inequality, and the feeling of righteous indignation about it, and giving Rose the opportunity to vocalize those points and establish herself as the voice for that in this new trilogy. Because, again, it’s been a missed opportunity for a long time that Star Wars has been preoccupied with the experiences of royals, elites, religious orders, and other upscale characters at the expense of everybody else. It’s a really cool step to have this character, who’s essentially a one woman get-over-your-bullshit machine, come to this glamorous place and point out that the villainy isn’t just the space Nazis, it’s the upper class that lets the Nazis get away with stuff because they stand to benefit. You see, it’s the non-mystical, on the ground component that allows the film to get away from the narrowly classist vision of the Force going on in the Rey-Luke stuff

Fucking retard, do you think it's underperforming due to hardcore fans not rewatching it? They were always a negligible fraction of the ticket sales. The problem is that normies are bored and are telling their normie friends not to go see it. Episode VIII will make its money back but it has damaged the IP.

Sadly, Lucas thinks that TLJ was wonderful.
It's pretty fucking hilarious how everyone calls him a hack until Disney starts churning about these soulless constructs and want him back and even starts praising the sequels.
How the times change.

Imagine being George and helplessly watching as a bunch of hack directors tear the universe you built apart.

Prequels *

Regardless of the content of this paragraph this is some fucking atrocious English.

Will they take responsibility?

Of course they won't it was Russia's fault

Too much 'and's mate

It's a pasta

It would at least be more fun to make fun of.

Of course not. When it'll flop its everyone else's fault except their own, while they quietly discard the movie, its fans and move on to another beloved series to sap dry.

BEWARNED: THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE MOUSE HAS TAKEN OVER YOUR STUDIOS. THIS IS A FATE THAT AWAITS US.

>2 days old article

try harder

>all CGI Lucasfilm in 2018
This meme needs to die
More sets were built for Revenge of the Sith than the entire Original Trilogy combined

Excellent replies. Love you anons.

Yes actually I do.

I think both affected the ticket sales, but what really changed this time are two things:
>Star Wars isn't an event anymore
When I was a kid, a new SW movie used to be the shit. Probably a relative watched when he was a kid, he used to talk about it and you grew watching it too, so, a new movie wasn't something you saw everyday. Now you have one every year and the next one in coming out in six months. There is no buzz, the hype died.
>the movie is ridiculous bad
When you see a normal person criticizing a blockbuster movie, you know it's garbage. And I saw this.

...

prove it.

At least I'm not Kathleen Kennedy

...

>"Just a minute... just a minute. Now, hold on, Mr. Potter. You're right when you say my father was no businessman. I know that. Why he ever started this cheap, penny-ante Building and Loan, I'll never know. But neither you nor anyone else can say anything against his character, because his whole life was... why, in the 25 years since he and his brother, Uncle Billy, started this thing, he never once thought of himself. Isn't that right, Uncle Billy? He didn't save enough money to send Harry away to college, let alone me. But he did help a few people get out of your slums, Mr. Potter, and what's wrong with that? Why... here, you're all businessmen here. Doesn't it make them better citizens? Doesn't it make them better customers? You... you said... what'd you say a minute ago? They had to wait and save their money before they even ought to think of a decent home. Wait? Wait for what? Until their children grow up and leave them? Until they're so old and broken down that they... Do you know how long it takes a working man to save $5,000? Just remember this, Mr. Potter, that this rabble you're talking about... they do most of the working and paying and living and dying in this community. Well, is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath? Anyway, my father didn't think so. People were human beings to him. But to you, a warped, frustrated old man, they're cattle. Well in my book, my father died a much richer man than you'll ever be!"

>would Sup Forums be willing to put up another masterkino from George Lucas too masterpiece and pleb filter if they knew these abominations would never be canon?
Yes

THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING THE FORCE IS FEMALE REEEEEEEEEEE

>all CGI movie with laughably terrible dialogue

This is exactly what we are getting from Disney right now!

Its amazing how everyone gave Lucas shit for making the prequels be filled with CGI, and yet they let Disney slide while doing the same thing. That casino planet had more green screen than all the prequels combined and not ONE single reviewer complained about that, not even the faggots at Red Letter Media who started the whole "Lucas is a lazy hack for using CGI" narrative.

This is what drumpftards actually believe

>Star wars is a failure

twitter.com/weier1231997/status/945465768371613696

>Chinese pre-sale of The Last Jedi already started. Early tracking shows it probably will make under $30M on three-day debut. The Force Awakens - $52.82M 2-day debut / $125.26M total Rogue One - $32.51M 3-day debut / $69.15M total

It’s tracking to make $10 million less in China than Rogue One, so at this point it may actually be doing worse.

Out of like 15 normie friends I know that watched TFA only three went to watch TLJ. It's a disaster.

He said it was beautifully-made, which it is - it LOOKS fantastic. It’s everything beneath the surface veneer that’s the issue and he knows it as well as we do.

What is Rogue one?
I haven't watched any of the new movies. What is the order
Force Awakens
Rogue One
Last Jedi
?

Isn't the last jedi the last SW movie then, irrespective of earnings?

They literally said they had "prequel flashbacks" during the Casino.

Just watch Rogue One it's technically the best 'flick' out of all three

>Hey folks, Disney here. Who is ready for a totally original story and adventure? I know we sure are! BTW the EU isn't canon anymore. Jan Ors, no no no, it's pronounced Jyn Erso. Bevan? That's Kylo Ren.

its the end of the world senpai, you might as well hang yourself and convserve the oxygene for the rest of us that will suffer through new star wars

>TLJ 4 days weekend is 126th biggest in history adjusted for inflation
OH NO NO NO NO NO

No, Rogue One is a spin-off set just before ANH. It’s an uneven film, only good in parts, but arguably better than TFA and TLJ. Has actually somewhat likeable characters, for one thing. Unfortunately the director made the mistake of making a real Star Wars film so Disney had 50% of it reshot by a ghost director. I’d love to see an original director’s cut.

Wow, it's almost as if the majority of Star Wars fans are white males and that the absence of white males in protagonist roles in this space fantasy movie made it unappealing to its core audience.

Will do thanks brother

HAHAHAHA

God bless the Chinks.

It's almost as if while being constantly told that we must be questioned if we're put into a position of authority is okay but that you're not allowed to question a female in the same position

Even if Disney cut out the kissing scene, the Chinks KNOW

This is true. I am a Pajeet and all my friends who enjoy American movies mostly enjoy stuff w/ action and humor. Almost no one pays for capeshit. And absolutely no Indian I know has watched any star wars movie in a theater. They mostly start watching the older movies, get bored and ignore the franchise.

Sup Forums absolutely btfo

That's a complete tangent from what I was saying.

I'm saying that politics aside, if every character in this movie was a white male it would have been lambaste by the media but it also would have made a billion dollars because Star Wars fans are white males and the genre of Star Wars is space fantasy. Making a fantasy movie and completely refusing to add a character that your core audience can identify with is bat shit insane in business terms.

This also explains why Bollywood is succesful.

Can you imagine the baizuo shitstorm it could create if Disney have cut all the BM/AF content to appeal to Chinese audiences?

>Take a huge dump on your core audience in the name of progressivism
The absolute state of Hollywood

Fuck what a great movie.

There are many decent low budget movies in Bollywood, which come out every month. Also you are confusing Bollywood with South Indian film industry. Again both of these have low budget movies which are absolutely amazing. No action, just pure kino drama targeted to under 35 youth. What does Star Wars offer that other capeshit doesn't? Why the fuck should anyone choose to pay for SW over other tens of other legitimately good movies and films. SW is the same as Avatar for non-Americans. Just a visual delight. The story absolutely sucks.

God job Sup Forums we kept people out of the theaters! #GamerGate

Legitimately, I'm sorry Mr. Lucas. The prequels got a lot of underserved hate. Some of it deserved for sure, but the story was 1000x better than what we got in the sequels.

> Can't enjoy a movie if the protagonist isn't of the same race as you are.

Jesus christ, you're as bad as all the wome, praising the new Ghostbusters.

Then why does it matter if the protagonist is a white male?

>Unfortunately the director made the mistake of making a real Star Wars film so Disney had 50% of it reshot by a ghost director. I’d love to see an original director’s cut.
Oh fuck, well guess I'll give it a download.

Tis the season for it.

I never attacked him, loved the pre clone wars era prequels, wish it was explored more in media. I won't apologize to him for calling him out for his biggest sin, selling it all to be whored out worse than he ever put it through.

It really fucking doesn't, one way or the other.

Not only hyperspace ramming, but Force Ghosts being able to interact with the living world world does that too. These new rules render the entire OT pointless. Old EU and canon ghosts couldn't really interact with the living world outside of appearing as a spirit. Old EU and canon had it so Hyperspace was a different dimension and the only things that could affect a ship in HS was massive wells of gravity like from say a planet, sun, black hole, or Interdictor class SD's

It clearly does though because the movie is doing poorly. You can spin it however you want, but even the prequels were commercially successful.

>200m budget
>777m box office

Failure. They only made 577m profit.

Now how much did they spend marketing this.

this

Wait, does Disney really remove scenes deemed offensive to foreign audiences? I thought they were all for equality and all those other progressive ideals? If they omit scenes like interracial relationships, doesn't that make them hypocritical?

>profit
Jesus Christ you are embarrassing. Just shows you further that the shills defending TLJ never held a job in their life

Profit first.

It's doing poorly because it's a shit movie. Rey being a guy would have done nothing to save this mess.

>he still thinks they get all the money from the worldwide total
