Solo topped Pedro
>>220694571Its basically just an extended TV episode and everyone knows that now.
>>220694571Pour one out for a staple of nerd/masculine culture and essentially a foundational modern permutation of our civilisational mythology.
Yeedbros...
>>220694571Good. Let IP-slop die.
>>220694683the movie is just an advertisement for baby yoda toys don't fool yourself by thinking they care about the box office. slop will be pumped forever
>>220694701I doubt the toys are selling all that well
>>220694645The Mandalorian is hardly a staple of "masculine culture" wtf are you on about
>>220694571Who the fuck is grogu?
>>220694571To be fair Solo had a budget of 350mln, this had like 70mln. This can easily profit more
>The saving grace for this net $165M production is international but also merchandise. Disney hopes that the Force is with it for a global debut of $160M.https://deadline.com/2026/05/box-office-mandalorian-and-grogu-1236918713/
Glup Shitto situation?
>>220694571Why did they wait 3 YEARS after the TV show ended to release this movie? The final season was awful and the hype is completely gone.
>>220696127The same reason they haven't forced a Mandalorian video game through; they're seemingly bad at capitalizing on their successes
>>220696127They even filmed this in 2024. Almost two years of post-production and still they had to use Indian sweatshops for shitty CGI. I don't get it.
>make a huge blockbuster star wars film that requires you to be familiar with three seasons of some stupid show>call it Mandalorian and Grogu causing normies to think it's outright gay nerd ick-inducing shit from the startSo many things about this film that didn't need to happen, but it exists nonetheless. Honestly, Star Wars doesn't even seem like a hard thing to fuck up, Disney's incompetence and contempt towards the IP is astounding. They fundamentally do not like the source material, and do not want to honour it either.The formula is all there.I'm almost certain they could have just made a film about 'Jim Spacestrider' who after a childhood of suffering in some galactic backwater, learns he has force powers, acquires a lightsaber, meets Don Feldio, a cool ace spaceship pilot, and Mira Bimbellia, a smoking hot rebel princess, and they team up with Gloob Flarto, a non-speaking eight-foot tall Ewok from the planet Endor. Oh and there's a cool 80's black motown guy, and not loathsome modern black hiphop guy, and turns out Feldio and Spacestrider are actually secret brothers and their father is a sith lord called Darth Malifio who has been grooming them from the start or whatever to disrupt the local republic sphere so he can steal all the Dongus crystals.
>>220695958>implying anyone gives a shit about action figures and legos>implying white women on facebook care about baby yeed plushies nearly a decade after the trend has faded from their memory
>>220696305They already have the blueprint for it with the Bounty Hunter game that was on the fucking PS2. Just do that shit but more modern, it's easy.oh wait I forgot nobody knows how to make video games anymore
>>220695548He is talking about Star Wars in general. You are both retards
>>220695958>MerchYou been to Walmart lately? 10 years ago, Star Wars was an entire aisle to its shelf. Now its a couple pegs in a corner with old boxes covered in cobwebs.
>>220698177Star Wars hasn't been a stable of man culture since The Force Awakens. This film isn't spoiling anything that weren't rotten long before.
>>220694645>Nerd/masculineTotal opposites. Nerds are fags which is why their hobbies are so easily subverted
Do kids even like star wars anymore? Maybe the original 6, but I don't see what would appeal to them from Disney. It's all made for bald millennial goyimsoomers.
>>220698261What masculine hobbies aren't subverted? Even lifting weights is now dominated by instagram thots.
>>220698274Kids these days don’t have hobbies or likes that aren’t directed by the algorithm
>>220698298BoxingMMAGambling Shooting NASCAR Monster Trucks
>>220694571Keep coping
>>220698274Nope. Star Wars gets almost no traction with youth now. Its kept alive by dads holding onto nostalgia, with an extra bump from die-hard liberals who feel that giving money to Disney makes them win the culture war.
>>220698327Monster Trucks are pozzed as fuck. The last Monster jam I went to was full of pink glitter trucks and interviews with women drivers talking about how women drive harder than the men.
>>220696305>>220696663The disney we grew up with would have 100% licensed a million different things if they even just got a crump of success.Disney today is insanely bad at making money simply for that reason. They struck gold years ago and didn't put all their eggs into the basket.
>>220694645Lmao
>>220694571I've never seen an article criticize a movie's revenue intake from previews? What the fuck is a preview, this is some subversive kike journalist way of demonizing something they don't want to succeed, isn't it
>>220696612This has been debunked by even the pro critics that hated the movie for not being like the subversive trash that was the last jedi, there's nothing in the movie that requires you to have watched three seasons of the television series to understand what's going on in the movieYet you try and push this narrative in nearly every thread about this movieThis is what paid antifan shilling looks like
>>220698274Kids like fortnite and mobile games. They don't have the attention spans for movies anymore, let alone franchises.
>>220694571the original star wars was a cult classic before it blew up into the phenomenon we know today, there's nothing wrong with repeating that blueprint
>>220698995What the fuck are you talking about, you retard?
>>220694571nobody cares about the IP. star wars isnt even hated anymore, its just met with total apathy now.
>>220694571I love when people want to cry out for the "true" fans yet never have anything to do with knowing what true fans want. Here's a hint....true fans don't have a set ideology of what a SW movie should be. Rogue One was amazing, the prequels initially were somewhat a disappointment to fans who were young children for the first ever movie. The animated shows gave more depth to those same movies and SW "true" fans only care about one thing; finding joy in any of the movies or shows they can. True fans watch as much as they can, read books when they can, enjoy the lore, but overall a true fan loves the universe because no matter what happens in it, the goal is always about being good and helping it to overcome evil. That's what makes true fans, and if you go into everything with that you may not love every show or movie but you at least go into each one with a happy heart and you usually will find at least some moments to enjoy in this fandom...
>>220699145He's saying the tylenol moms who forced their autistic kids to watch this shit with them will grow up to have high paying IT jobs and spend all their money on grogu merch when they're adults.JK. Women being into grogu are childless catmoms, even then it was all a marketing ploy.
sounds like they recycled some TV scripts and put no effort at all in.Which is kind of surprising considering Mandalorian is a series and a character people have a degree of good will toward. They literally just had to try, and build up some word of mouth by having people go "hey, this is really good, actually".What is Disney's problem? Dare I say, they used to be pretty good at making movies. Aladdin, Lion King, Toy Story, sure. Good movies.
>>220699255>Rogue One was amazingIt was not.
>>220699255The fanbase has been fragmented on purpose now, the sequels were definitely made by people who hate the original trilogy and want to see the franchise turned into a subversive version of itself, along with disney's decades long viral reddit memes campaign to change the public's perception of the prequel movies, saying true fans really is a disservice without addressing which faction of fans you are talking about, in the end it's the people who liked the original trilogy that was the most popular and beloved of all the star wars media that suffers the most because there's way more mediocre to bad star wars content now than good going mainstream
>>220694571I want to see it, but i'll wait for the blu-ray.
>>220694571I never hear about the Clone Wars pilot movie in these comparisons, going in blind I would expect it to have the worst performance.
>>220694571They waited too long and Pascal is a faggot.
>>220698372This is especially noticeable with Zootopia, the sequel made almost 2 billion dollars and they haven't confirmed the third one proper yet despite it being obvious it's coming what with the end credits stinger.
>>220694571Do I need to watch season 3? I already skipped it because it required watching Bobba Fett.
>>220699255Well... Sorta? I mean, we talk about catering to REAL fans, but who are the real fans? Kids who grew up with TCW and Ahsoka's DSL being their sexual awakening? Wine aunties who collect Grogu plushies? Autistic chicks who write Reylo fanfics longer than War And Peace? /lit/izens who read every single EU book, even the bad ones?Who are the fans then? Who decides what makes a "real" fan anyway?
>>220698274No, kids like cool shit, and there's nothing cool about Disney Wars, George knew this and that's why he made both the OG trilogy and the prequels appeal to the sensibilities of young men at the time.
>>220699483No, the movie is it's own standalone adventure
>>220699483The Boba Fett show is unironically not that bad, better than season 3 in fact.
>>220699544>bloated petrol sniffer on walkaboutno thanks
>>220699512the prequels were a mess that did slightly less damage to the brand than the sequels, so much of the prequels were ugly, unaesthetic and poorly written with purposely poorly directed dialogue, because they didn't have the same pedigree of traditionally classically trained shakespearean actors to make it work, it makes you wonder how much weight those guys like peter cushing and alec guiness moved and contributed to the final product or the overall quality of the original trilogy behind the scenes, because there's such a stark difference between the two trilogies and ian mcdermott's presence didn't seem to matter
>>220695912That's cope. Disney has always "hidden" the true budgets of these big movies, only for them to get leaked years later in some random tax document.
>>220696359It wrapped filming in December 2024, but they would have easily spent a full year just on CGI since it'd be somewhere in every shot.
>>220694571WHAT DONT DISNEY RETARDS UNDERSTAND?WE WANT ANDOR QUALITYBASED AS FUCK STAR WARS
I'm still mad to find out Yidsney wasted Darth Plagius
>>220700156twice
>>220700156season 2 would have been Plagius gigakino BUT NO the chuds had to get it canceled
>>220700156Better him doing nothing than getting obliterated by a retarded lesbian.
>>220698482NTA but it doesn’t matter if you don’t need to watch the show, everybody thinks you do. Most people don’t even know baby Yoda’s name is Grogu. They really fucked up with this movie.
>>220699544What? No it is unironically fucking awful, get some standards dude
>>220700372Suck a dick and eat shit
>>220699544The Fett show sucked.
>>220698298Guns
>>220696612they probably commissioned this during season 1 when the merch was selling like hot cakes? That's the only time it would have made sense.
>>220696359Disney has a stupid release schedule where they space films out even if they're already finished.
>>220694701What are they going to sell? Any kid or women who wants a baby yoda plush or toy already has one. He doesn't get a new outfit or change anything to merit new merchandise
>>220700571The gun community is absolutely full of onions faggots. Spend 10 minutes on /k/.
>>220694783God, I would fucking kill to get a job at the company they hire to shovel all the leftover baby yeeds into a shredder
>>220700643seething about /k/, a russian faggot announces it's presence
>>220698274No, I say this as someone who has to work with kids. The current crop have no likes, thoughts or ideas of their own. People say the zoomers were bad, but at least they ended up being influenced to hard stances and ideas. The upcoming generation really are low iq mush babbies. What ever media "trends" is what they know and are into.
>>220700643You would know /k/ got raped by glowies and faggots during the ukraine crap
>>220695864slop shittos cousin
>>220698995It was literally the highest grossing movie of all time at the time it released. Star Wars was never niche.
>>220700720Nta, but we can't even talk about bond guns without jeets and pickle rick fags shitting up the threads. Stop pretending like that board has been usable in years
>>220700803That's true for all generations. Kids have always been retards. You know they grow up eventually though.
>>220694571Didn't Solo cost way more money?
>>220700862I hate this argument. Star wars was an event, but what kept it alive was the smaller groups through books, media, games etc. Just because the movies were big deals didn't mean all these things were as popular
>>220698274>Do kids even like star wars anymore? Maybe the original 6, but I don't see what would appeal to them from Disney. It's all made for bald millennial goyimsoomers.I have a little sister, she likes some of the characters like darth maul and yoda, r2d2. I dont think she cares about the actual films that much just likes the look of the characters.
>>220700998>she likes some of the characters like darth mauloh, so shes a prequel faggot and retard
>>220700998Sequel sisters....
>>220698274I have two nieces, aged 11 and 7. They like Grogu but they only know him because my brother like Star Wars and has some figures of it, but otherwise they don´t care.
>>220700998>I dont think she cares that much just likes the look of the characters.Oh, so shes a Dave Filoni retard and faggot
>>220701051>>220701110Nta, but why are you brown retards mad at this?
>>220695864gokkun's brother
>>220701134the only people who actually like your sister are browns, thats the truthso sad
>>220701160Read poojeet, read
>>220701077Forgot to mention: The 11 years old is into Five Night´s at Freddy´s, My Hero Academia and Yandere Simulator (I don´t think she has ever actually played it, she just likes to draw the Yandere girl), the 7 years old is into Dandy´s World and dress up games, both are into Poppy Playtime and Vocaloid characters. I don´t how representative this is of what kids like these days but that´s what they like.
>>220701077Yeah that's an issue, I don't know how disney expects girls to get into star wars. grogu was a big deal, but he's not in the films. I guess they thought this would start the transition but its been about 5 years since grogu was first revealed right? the moment is over.
>>220701175everyone knows its you
>>220700880yea, that was the problem and not the countless ak greatest rifle in the world threads or soviet army strongest in the world wank threads, that board was your faggot russian safe space until reality started hitting after the three day special military operation started going awry, which is putting it lightly funny how you're here camping out in a trending culture war thread, why is that fellow k/commando
>>220701300No it's not. At least admit to not being indian who can't read
>>220694571Let it die, let it die, let it shrivel up and die
>>220694571The movie needed Zendaya.
>>220695912Not including marketing. And Disney buys half the tickets
>>220701441I'm not even russian you sperg. I used to love talking about bond guns. That board while a little better now is still just glowie/tranny hell.
>>220699145Star Wars used to be considered a nerd thing. Look at how Eric Foreman is treated in that 70s show. If you weren't around before the 2010s you may not understand how pop culture has shifted
>>220699544>I liked poop better than turd They're both absolute garbage
>>220701584said the kremlin kike>No, I'm just larping as a retard that didn't know what I was participating in
>>220701652Star Wars was never considered nerd shit because back then it was loved by all, even in that show all of his friends loved it too, wasn't it only his dad that gave him shit, that's not indicative of it being nerd shit, you're confusing it with star trek, those people would actually dress up outside of halloween and go to actual conventions
>>220700720>>220701441>>220701704>/k/ isn't like that at all we're based chads>anyway DAE think Zellensky is literally Harry Potter and Putler is his nemesis JK Rowlingyou're proving the guy you're arguing with right lol
>>220695864plop shitto's cousin
>>220701781dropping all illusions, very nicenow go bounce on the broom handle your handler has shoved up your ass, piggy
>>220701970A: I'm not the anon you were talking to, I stepped in because I was also shocked at what a faggot you're being2: What the fuck are you even talking about, is your worldview literally "Everyone who doesn't spend every waking moment seething about Russia is Russian"I go all day without remembering Russia exists until some cunt like you brings it up for no reason. And it's getting to be the same with Israel, you fucks are ruining antisemitism for me.Putin's a gay pedophile like Joe Biden and he lost all his tanks to toothless rednecks and America isn't paying for it anymore, is that good enough for you? Here, I'd get put in the gulag for posting this pic if I were in Moscow like you claim.What flags do you have on your Twitter profile? lol
>>220702048No matter how many times you keep saying NTA the seething stays the same
>>220694571they won't see this as a "message" . * sigh*, somehow the denial returns
>>220701770Yes it was we used to make fun of star wars nerds like you. Get fukt kid
>>220702096I am NTA, because TA had patience for your bullshit.It's actually a great "Countries that are huge faggots" map, which one of those red ones are you in?
>>220702132if it was nerd shit it wouldn't have become a cultural phenomenon that appealed to all demographics and age ranges
>>220700860Hunka China?
>>220702146Imagine trying to make this type of argument in 2026
>>220702232So to be clear here your average day consists of>seething about Trump>seething about Putin>telling other people on the internet that you're not gay and they're the ones that don't belong hereOkay. I don't have any namecalling left for you, you pretty much did my job for me.
>>220694571Disney bought Star Wars in 2012 and has completely killed it.
>>220702286projecting your job of defending all those things on here to meremember this entire sperg out you're having and pretending to be multiple different anons like a schizo is because I called you out for what you are when you couldn't hold your autistic tard rage in and started mentioning another board
>>220702146
>>220698337kek
>>220698274Yeah, kids all love Lucas films. Not surprising since he is /co/ coded. They couldn't handle the Sequels since it's Avatar coded.
>>220700623idk if your argument works, anon.i've seen women's closets. miles upon miles of shoes they never wear that are all basically the same.they really are goysumers.
