I would look at toys sale when comparing movies.

That's where you will see the damage that this new trilogy has done to the brand.




The toys have no been moving as hoped.

Something that also concerns me is that there are reportedly numerous versions of this being screened which has brought people to believe that this is going to be a fragmented mess when they make their final cuts, splices, and piecing together for the final release. I had read that two different screens had several different scenes in the final third of the film neither of which were good. That's just something I had watching on Mike Zeroh and then some reddit posts.

They're doing it by test, so each scene passes, gets spliced in.

Movie by committee. Completely sterile. You don't spend 300m on reshoots for a total budget of 700m and just wing it.

Its done by test screening and committee. 1 man doesn't call the shots at a corporation like Disney on how money gets spent.

The story committee has a say as does the producers in which scenes get spliced in.

The energy and narrative should be cold and stillborn on release due to the process.

You can't create a vision for a universe by committee.

I'm struggling to take it seriously with Kylo featured as the big bad so prominently.

Anyone else think its corny and disturbs the overall flow of the poster?

He just doesn't fit. And that has a lot to do with his character I guess. Rey is no problem-- while a Mary Sue, I can still take her seriously.

Has Luke had a lobotomy? His skull is missing.

I'm no artist, but my off the cuff interpretation was its a tree that grew.

Violence or evil is a tree that grows. Kylo is a product of having a male son. Ultimate evil. Fathers are dogshit.

The base of the tree is women. Everything starts with women. Makes sense.

Adam Driver is a good actor, but this is a just not the right role for him. He does comedy and deadpan stuff really well, but anger/rage is just not his thing.

I think even if everyone was in lockdown mode and we didn't hear a single thing so far, the fact that NONE of the stars want to return for any other stories is extremely telling. Boyega, I think, is the most vocal about wanting nothing to do with Disney+, but everyone else has said as much as well

I still can't believe they designed that dumb Sith Junior hat he wears. It's about as fearsome as a sponge.

Somebody on facebook referred to Kylo Ren as "Diet Snape" I lost it. This movie is going to be trash.
