No guys, SW is not that sinkable as a franchise. Even if TLJ was the shoddiest of Star Wars, enough people would still go to see even just to check how shoddy it was and moan about it later on. I see TLJ as the worst SW movie ever (plot wise, visually it's stunning) and I've paid to see it three times.
At this stage it's akin to a James Bond franchise, it might be at the point where physics are broken and idiotic scripts feature invisible cars, denture sized aqualungs, diamond studded villains, private trips to space and lasers beaming from satellites but we will all still go and see it, buy blurays and some people, will you believe, might even like it.
Part of being a fan is to try and save, if you will, what you love, not fight with what you hate (see what I did there?), if you want to see how far such fandom extends, check what "Despecialised Version" is and
have a look at "the making of". This is done by fans, for fans. But the point is - even the smallest, if you will, Resistance, moaning for better plots, better McGuffins, upholding the struggle to keep the correct amount of force in The Force, while the rest of the galaxy remains comfortably numb is an admirable fight to make SW truer to its roots. To make it better, less DC, more SW while forever reminding shodmakers like Ryan Johnson that they ***** up, that it's "not the way Force works", that they need to proof read drivel they write - and that is for everyone's benefit. He will not make another broken universe SW movie and he will always remember this lesson for the rest of his days as a director. It doesn't get better than this. Now, say "thank you small group of vocal internauts" and oh - you're welcome. (thumbsup.gif)
