Disney bought Star Wars for $4B ... at this point they have to be bringing that in annually over the entire franchise, right? Disney absolutely fleeced Lucas. They bought a money fountain that Lucas had stuck a plug in and unplugged it.
Lucas know what it was worth when he sold it. He wasn't fleeced.
And it was not plugged when he had it.
Yousa thinks so? Hmmm, okeeday!
Like being a business man isn't one of George Lucas biggest strengths. Like he didn't know what the brand pulled in yearly, when he sold it. Like he didn't know he could nostalgia jerk together another trilogy.
He might be the creator of Jarjar. But he's not dumb.

Finished my run of movies last night with episode VIII. Started with Fan Boys then went in numerical order with Rogue One mixed in between III & IV. I'm ready.
Alright, alright, alright!

I'm going in blind on Friday. Haven't seen a trailer and have managed to avoid all other advertising/promos. Is it just me, or do Star Wars "fans" really not like Star Wars? Like all they do is complain about everything and are never satisfied with a Star Wars product. Hmm, sounds like another group of "fans" I know.

Loved it!!! So much better than TLJ.... Tied a lot of things together and had a great balance of paying homage to the older movies without being too forced or cheesy. I'm sure there'll be plenty of haters who will disagree with me, but I thought it was great

Based on what I've read so far -- namely, that it puts nostalgic fanboys back in their safe spaces instead of expanding upon the complicated themes that were at the heart of The Last Jedi -- I'm prepared to hate watch this thing on Sunday.

Rey looks at her right hand like when Luke did when he lost his.
I am saying that Rey is a product of Lukes DNA from his lost arm.
Thoughts?
masterpiece gets thrown around too much, but damn don’t fuck up the last one

None of the first reactions can be trusted, good or bad.
"...I changed by not changing at all..."
