So what are the chances they lose money on this?
I am emotionally invested in watching them lose money on Star Wars and Marvel.

would guess they have a shot at making profit, apparently they were on a very tight budget and to get it made in California, they got some very good tax breaks. they would need like $400-450 so depends on how the international crowd likes it.

don't know if the burger king tie in is going good or not, but local bk has a sign up selling just the cups for $1 each.

The box office accountants will say it lost money even if it does $1B (it won't). But the real money is always in the merchandising and whether they can get another generation of kids to be interested in the franchise.

How hard up is the rebel alliance they got grandma flying an x-wing?

At this point of the story, there is no more Rebel Alliance, this is the New Republic which very much underestimates the issues caused by the Imperial Remnant, which consists of mostly scattered and disorganized Imperial high-ranking officers turned warlords, and also Grand Admiral Thrawn (though his return is probably not widely known at that point).

So Sigourney Weaver and a few X-Wing pilots are more like the highway patrol than an actual army.

If she's part of the New Republic then she'd quite literally have to be a space cop, Mon Mothma completely demilitarized the New Republic. It's also probably too early in the timeline for the First Order or the Resistance to exist yet.

Yes the First Order isn't quite there yet (and likely won't be mentioned at all, considering Disney is seemingly trying to soft-bury the sequels).

Sigourney Weaver's character seems to still be fighting the fight despite the New Republic's demilitarization, she's still known as Colonel Ward and she still wears the orange flightsuit of the Rebel Alliance, as opposed to the New Republic's blue flightsuits worn by Zeb Orellios or some other pilots we have seen previously.

Thanks for the clarification. I was ready to award you the prize of “most ackshually post ever” for it, but Gavinmad Gavinmad proved he’s still the reigning champ in that division.

The real question is what advances in urinary incontinence technology have been achieved in the post-Empire era that would allow a 76-year old woman to be a space fighter pilot?

It's spelled ackchually.

I remembered that the space cops from Mandalorian Season 1 (Carson Teva and Trapper Filoni) were still wearing the orange jumpsuits despite clearly being associated with the New Republic so I looked it up. The demilitarization didn't start until another year or two after RotJ and was a gradual process over the ensuing couple decades, so there aren't any direct canon conflicts with them or Weaver's character being in the New Republic military.

The whole demilitarization thing is so goddamn retarded that I'd never bothered to read more into it before now.
