Pirates of the Caribbean dead men tell no tales and that mummy movie from last summer made more than Star Wars on their opening weekends in China. China doesn’t like Star Wars ![Laugh :lol: :lol:](/styles/default/xenforo/NTemojis/laugh.gif)

Finally saw it last week. Usually go on opening night, but what I was hearing about the movie made me pause this time.
So they decided no powerful male heroes?
Poe get demoted by one female, then put in his place by another.
Kylo already weaker than Rey, but now he is super emo and looks like a whipped puppy in most of his scenes.
Luke has given up on life and is a useless hermit despite still being the most powerful Jedi at that point in the movie.
Finn can't even decide to commit suicide without a female overruling him. Then she CLAIMS him. Man don't even get to decide his own romantic interests. Plus he has to be saved at the end by Rey along with all of the other men.
Even the First Order brass are made to look like idiots. Of course the females of the Rebellion are master strategists with the long game on lock.
Who even comes up with this stuff?
My hope for this movie was that Rey goes darkside with Kylo. Finn discovers force sensitivity and takes out Rey and eventually has the showdown with Kylo who should be more powerful.
Instead Disney eyeing a market for pink lightsabers.
I mean, what's left?
TFA they killed off the last real man in the franchise with Solo.
TLJ cut the lightsabers off all the men. Ep IX gonna be set in Themyscira.
Wow...Solo is doing ANOTHER set of reshoots next month.
Another mess of a Star Wars film incoming.
I don't think so. He was surviving against her, then something exploded (was that BB-8 in the AT-ST?) and she fell into a burning hole, from what I remember.Didn't Finn kill Captain Phasma...?
The floor gave way beneath her. He was near her when she died...lol.Didn't Finn kill Captain Phasma...? You're overreacting a little.
And I mean, it's not like prior to TFA there was a female protagonist in the universe. I want good characters. Who cares about their genders.
And Poe is basically the 3rd lead next to Rey and kylo.
I would love to see a pink lightsaber. no one cried when we got a purple one.I mean, what's left?

Probably making it a Special Edition by adding CGI Jabba.![]()
I compare Star Wars to Major League Baseball. Rich history, very loyal fan base that expects things to be a certain way, urgently trying to attract new fans, and is actually still making tons of money despite not being the best in its industry (films/sports) in most peoples' eyes.
Part of the struggle that comes with trying to tap into a newer market, and attracting new fans, is essentially getting them to buy into things with long histories and traditions that they may not care about. Also, if you abandon these things, or stray too far, then you risk losing your actual fan base and thus becoming less valuable overall.
Fact of the matter is Disney has come to the idea that China won't ever really care about Star Wars. Their investment in marketing in China for TLJ was reported to be a lot less than Ep. 7 and Rogue One.
