Star Wars Thread

Well it’s official. Joker beats Rise of Soywalker’s theatrical run. You’d think the much hyped “conclusion to the Skywalker saga”, could out-do, some low-budget comic book flick from Dc. Evidently not. sad.

Rise of Soywalker was supposed to be their “Endgame”. Haha, nope!

Looks like the Best Buy set is the only way to get the 4K releases on disc. I honestly don’t want to buy these again in the event they just do a remaster of the original movies.

You’re such a fucking stupid moron.

Ha Joker made 1.072b and RoTS made 1.054b. Shit movie confirmed, kekw, I was right Star Wars is in the shitter.

Imagine being this fucking dumb. Not surprised considering it’s the same individual that touted Alita as a masterpiece and the shit was average as fuck with a sleep inducing third act. :joy:

In what fucking universe fam. No one with a modicum of a brain thought that. And I think the sequel trilogy is straight garbage so don’t try to say I’m stanning for it.

I guess, if I squint and turn my head sideways. :rofl:

Oh yeah saying RoTS is a failure for making 0.02 billion less (which is about 20 million) from the next highest grossing film is hilarious when both films break the billion mark.

Its like for example calling you a failure as a coworker worked 5 min longer this weak so his paycheck is a whole 20 cents higher.

OMG Starwars is ruined as the last film only made $1.054b when the studio invested a whopping $275 million (0.275 billion) they only make 52.7 times their money back. Any other industry love to get 52.7 times their investment back.

Yeah, guess what? Your opinion doesn’t change the reality. Rise of Soywalker was to be a HUGE release for them! It was to conclude Disney’s Epic(they wish) Sequel trilogy, and was constantly advertised as the “conclusion to the Skywalker saga”.

They even dusted off ol’Palpatine is a desperate bid to regain fan interest. Plus you had JJ & Co on twitter for the first time (gasp)attempting to extend an olive branch to the legion of fans Disney turned away in their arrogance. Instead of insulting us for a change.

Nope. You can’t just piss on the fandom for YEARS, labeling anyone that didn’t like their cash-grab shlock, as “misogynist” and a myriad of other insults. Then expect them to flock back at the last minute to see their cinematic tripe.

The end result? Rise of Soywalker made the LEAST amount at the box office in the trilogy, when it should have made the most. Plus it lost out to Joker too. All the toys & merch continued to nose-dive in sales also. So much crap clogging the discount bins everywhere i went. Disney reaped what they sowed.

They made money? Ummm no, they didn’t actually. Disney’s shlock made nowhere remotely the kind of numbers Disney was hoping for. Not even close. Rise of Soywalker alone, should have EASILY done close to, or at 2 billion. If they had done things right. It wasn’t even close and was a pathetic showing for the “Final entry in the Skywalker Saga”.

Then in addition to the severely diminishing returns of the movies, it’s well-known how the toylines and merch crashed & burned spectacularly. Even the home video releases did pitiful numbers. And before you resort to it, sorry, all the data shows streaming has very little impact on home video sales of movies.

You can rationalize mediocrity however you like. The numbers don’t lie. And if the Disney execs and shareholders actually like money? They are definitely NOT happy with how things have turned out…

Your post has all the substance of a Mike Zeroh video on Youtube. You state your premise, ramble on for a few minutes, and provide zero supporting evidence of your claims. The third part of a Star Wars Trilogy has never made more than the first. RoS under performed. Based on Star Wars history, part one of trilogy makes the most money, part two the least, and part three lands in between. RoS was never expected make more than the first. Since I don’t to the Alpha Charlie school of talking out my ass, I provide a link to the box office numbers showing that the third part never outdrew the first.

lol you sound so angry haha. However, this is the REALITY. It’s not my fault it’s what you don’t want to hear. Also whining on an internet messageboard does not somehow improve Disney’s bottom-line either.

Nor is it any consolation to the Disney Execs & shareholders, that Darc_Requiem made lame excuses on SRK for the poor return in their investment on Disney’s shlock. We’re talking countless millions pissed away!

Edit: Also yes, usually the 3rd entry makes the least. However, Rise of Soywalker made a full 1.008 Billion less than the first movie! Christ. That’s an insane drop-off, and no comparison to how the original trilogy stuff went. You better believe SOME heads rolled after that.

But…you’re the only one whining.

Dude, if you’d pay attention, Darc has been one of the most vocal guys here about how much the sequel trilogy sucks. He’s not defending Disney or making excuses for them. You’re just making really stupid comments and we’re all pointing that out but it doesn’t seem to get through that thick skull of yours.

For fuck’s sake, man. We get it. You hate Disney Star Wars. A lot of people here don’t like it much either. It’s getting old and you’re making a fool out of yourself.

Or maybe we’re the fools because we keep responding to your dumb ass.
