IT LOST DISNEY AT LEAST $100 MILIT'S OVER
>>221270035>that constant, steady decline year on year, Rogue One the only brief exceptionKek.
>yeah we have a Boba Fett series and movie but he needs to be a fucking babysitter to appeal to the balding disney adultsTotal soillennial death
>>221270035>that huge dip for AOTC because TPM was carried by hype, disappointed people, and AOTC had bad word-of-mouthlmao completely wrecks the prequeer revisionism. ROTS was the only prequel the masses liked.
>>221270035>episode IX made less money than JokerIt's been over for a while, anon.
>>221270175>ROTS was the only prequel the masses liked.I don't think many people actually liked them, they just went to see it as part of a cultural experience, like Avatar
>>221270175>completely wrecks the prequeer revisionism.what revisionism? clones has always been viewed as the worst and ROTS gained because of good word of mouth after a hesitant opening because of how bad clones way
>>221270175I was somewhat surprised to see TPM be the biggest grossing prequel but it makes sense marketing wise because TPM was the first SW movie in 20 years and nobody knew what to expect, so hype could carry it.
>>221270035Good.
>>221270035It's the first Star Wars movie I didn't see in the theater since I've been alive.(didn't see Empire or the orignal since I'm too young). I even saw the Special Editions.
>>221270035The top two entries on the list are objectively the two worst star wars movies to ever exist, you're focusing on the wrong thing you subversive kike shill
>>221270262>so hype could carry it.it absolutely did, star wars mania was everywhere in the 90's with tons of product ties into like coke and walkers(lays) crisps. the original trilogy was released on vhs in and Special Editions in 97. the prequels were building hype for years before they actually came out
>>221270175>I'm bad, like the movie Attack of the Clones
>>221270239>clones has always been viewed as the worstCritics said it was better than tfa when it was released.
>>221270035Does this mean they'll finally stop casting Pedro Pascal in everything

>>221270035I'm surprised 6 made so little
>>221270035It will still be in the box office top 15 of 2026, it's not like it went unnoticed.
>>221270035>IT LOST DISNEY AT LEAST $100 MILits just there to sell merch dumbass
>>221271095>BecauseBecause what? I don't see what point you're making. Even if those movies made more, Mandalorian still made the least which was the point of the post.
>>221270035You know in hindsight, telling the audience to eat shit and die may have been a mistake
>>221270078>>221271025>they don't knowyou zoomies are so dumb it hurts

Try something different for once.
>>221270035where THE FUCK is the clone wars movie on that listoh it made less so it doesn't fit the narrative
>>221270209People actually like rots, nobody likes avatar.
>>221271476It really is funny how the worst performing star wars film will always be a George Lucas product.
>>221271533It'll always be so overshadowed by Disney's torching of the franchise that only you will remember or care lol
>>221271476It's animated. It was made for TV. It was never meant to be a movie. Lucas decided to make it a movie and release in theaters in the last moment. It had a fairly limited release. But also, consider that with its $8.5 million budget it made $70 million. It actually made profit, unlike Solo or Mando movie.
Revenge of the Sith will always be the best Star Wars film.
>>221270035>rigorous marketing campaignDIT PULIPPO (same species as WERP DINGLORT) will appear in ROGU'S DELOREAN
Just more proof that the people only want to see female lead films. Having a white guy like Pascal lead is a death knell for any sci-fi movie.
>>221271433What don't we know gramps? Did Millenials force you to write woke slop?
>>221271666chckdpremature response image to anyone that takes you seriously
>>221271666True, that's why disney has made so much with rey starring since her trilogy ended
>>221270035it's an actual movie? like in theaters? i thought it was another tv show on yidsney poz. what a fucking dumb name for a movie lmao.
>>221270035IS FUCKING OVER FOR STAR WARS

>>221271095These charts should really just focus on the number of tickets sold rather than money made since inflation has completely screwed the numbers and really downplays just how popular and successful some of these older films were.
Rogue One made a billy?I liked it, but that's pretty surprising to me
>>221272073>These charts should really just focus on the number of tickets soldThis anon speak the truth, kudos to him.
>>221271975
but it cost way less to make
>>221272356still lost money
>>221272149And more than Phantom Menace too
>>221270035I don't usually openly gloat at the painful drawn out death of a once great franchise, but Star Wars fans are such miserable old antagonistic bastards that I've been really enjoying watching this franchise wither and die these last few years. The fandom keeps tearing itself to pieces and seems to be actively shrinking with each passing year as more and more of you die of morbid obesity, high blood pressure and terminal autism. And that's a good thing! Chin up Star Wars fans, I mean there's still Star Trek and Doctor Who right? Oh right, nevermind.

>>221271678>zoomers don't know about lone wolf and cubpathetic
>>221273180>the last few yearsIt's been raped and not worth any human's time since tfa you retard.
>>221270035it's been very funny seeing all the culture warriors who pretend to like Star Wars just to 'deconolinze' 'dewhite' 'demale' it rush to try to blame all this on Filoni who has been in charge for like 5 minutes lol yepp this is just something that happened suddenly and not the result of a decade plus of mishandling the IP and intentionally pissing off legacy fans and telling them multiple times to stop watching. well guess what Bob, we did!
>>221274462Filoni is a shit writer and director. TCW is ass.
>>221270915no they won't course correct on any of this at all, Disney doesn't want to lose izzat and admit that every single decision they've made with the IP since buying it has been retarded and wrong. they would rather destroy the franchise entirely than ever admit fault, particularly because so much of what they've done has been tied to social messaging and political shit. it would be tacitly admitting those things were instrumental in their fuckups.>>221274522okay but that still doesn't mean anything, this movie is only bombing because no one cares about Star Wars anymore because Kathleen Kennedy spent the last 10+ years telling every Star Wars fan to go fuck themselves and stop watching Star Wars. as shitty as it is or whatever there still would be people going to see it for the name Star Wars alone in the alternate timeline where shit like Rey Skywalker and an entire fucking Obi-Wan show that's actually about some black Sith lady no one cares about never happened.
>>221273573This. I always felt Lone Wolf and Cub was a great story structure and that there should be many Lone Wolf and Cub stories because in many ways, life is a little bit like being either a Lone Wolf or a Cub and shoving anime figures up your ass which is sort of Lone Wolf-like, but also a little Cub-like.
>>221274462This is all on filoni though. Im sure a sequel follow-up won't do any better but filoni's slop was barely related to the sequels and according to all his fans it was a "return to form" for star wars
>>221274775how is 14 years of Bob Iger and Kathleen Kennedy making decisions he had nothing to do with his fault? this has nothing to do with the actual movie and everything to do with the IP as a whole. no one wants to watch Star Wars shit anymore.
>>221274462the mandalorian show was ruined by inserting filonislop charactersthe main reason this flopped is because everyone just checked out around s2 when the protagonist got sidelined in his own show by ahsoka and that other mandalorian bitch.
>>221271959George wasn't greedy. When he saw the episodes on the big screen at Skywalker Ranch, he was very impressed, and thought it would be nice to see on the big screen. It was also a way to placate Warner Brothers (who owned Cartoon Network) to air the series. They became interested after Lucas decided to produce it as a theatrical release. And it didn't fail. It actually made profit, lmao.
>>221270175The only revisionist here is you. Nothing has changed. We all knew only faggot Boomers and faggot gen Xers shat on Star Wars on release and Millennials found these movies later and loved them. What the hell are you talking about? There's no revisionism. You are a literal retard.
>>221275038This isn't true and disputed by simply looking at the Nielsen data. Season 2 was by far when the show was the most popular. Season 3 started out strong but then flattened because the overall quality of the season wasn't as good. It has nothing to do with cameos. Whereas Season 2 steadily gained viewership with each episode. You are stupid.
>>221270035Filoni is DONE. Kennedy's phone is probably ringing off the hook.
>>221270035They had a series that printed money and ruined it because they let woman run it. Insane
>>221273573>heh you don't know about this one movie??You lost, balding manlet.
If the movie was a stand alone deal I might muster up morbid curiosity to watch it when it is on streaming but I did not watch the last 2 seasons of mando and I would have to watch that first and I won't so fuck off.When you make good content you don't run into this issue. I really liked Wanda Vision so that helped hype the Doctor Strange movie but the reverse happened here
>>221275258they should have done this years ago when the show was at its apex, they're like 5 years too late now and Star Wars fatigue is at an all time high
>>221275299I think it would have been a bad ideal regardless. Best case scenario if they green lit this right away you probably could get it out after or around season 3 an interest was already waning. Maybe if the story was so good and they had an epic conclusion in theaters it could have worked. I think personally they should have made a movie about something else taking place around the same time and have Mando cameo but not be the main character. If you want me to be invested in Mando again he has to drop baby Yeed I am sick of that shit
>>221275193>this one movie??lmao
>>221271275The OPs twitter article posted box office numbers from 45 years ago without adjusting for inflation
Ngl it was the first SW movie I've seen since TFA and it was absolutely alright. Low stakes story with enough worldbuilding to keep it interesting. Imperial Warlords as a concept is kino of the highest order.
>>221270678Tfa is the worst movie of all time so they’re right
>>221270209There was a lot more of that back then, it's like my parents didn't like Friends so much as they watched Friends because everyone at work watched Friends. Even with kids, you watched what everyone else watched on the playground so you could talk about it. Like I wasn't a giant fan of Dragon Ball Z, but I still watched it so that I could play Dragon Ball Z with the other kids.
>>221275105Millenials were in the theaters enjoying them. Zoomers found them later.
>>221276161Millennials didn't watch these on release. Boomers and gen Xers convinced the world these movies were shit. Only Boomers and gen Xers watched them in theaters. Millennials found them later and loved them.
>>221270035source?
>>221276288Millennials were the target audience for the prequels, numbnuts.
>>221270078Tell your Mom I said hi, Champ.
>>221276288i saw prequels in the theater and i'm a millenialthey were complete fucking shit, didn't bother with return because i knew it would be shitnot everyone is as retarded as you prequelfags
>>221270035Nah i think it earned 50mStill very low for a ....solid? series? Idk
>>221270035it doesn't matter though, how many movies and shows have been losing millions and millions for years now? they'll just make another one. They haven't pumped the brakes on any of this a single time.
>>221276329>>221276403MIllennials had no cars or money, they were teenagers when these movies came out. Only Boomers and gen Xers saw them in theaters. Millennials didn't know anything about Star Wars. Star Wars at that point was strictly a Boomer and gen Xers franchise.
>>221270035Red Letter Media killed Star Wars.
>>221276592>calling a movie bad made it bad
>>221270035Turns out that nobody wants to watch movies starring Pedro Pascal.Who could have possibly seen this coming?
>>221270035It's a sequel to an over-the-hill TV show tied to a tainted IP.$300 million is too much.
>>221270035Hey, at least Disney didn't make this a season on Disney+ I probably would've watched it and hated my life.
>>221271433Maybe I don't want a space bounty hunter to be a fucking babysitter, how about that?
>>221270209It was re-released in theaters last year and did well.

is it out on torrents yet
>>221270262Dude, it was the culmination of years of buildup that I would say stretched back as far as the Thrawn Trilogy at the beginning of the 90s. I was too young to have experienced the OT as it happened, and I don’t think that I even knew what Star Wars was until NBC aired the entire trilogy one movie at a time over the course of three weeks, and made an event out of it. I don’t remember what year that was, but it was hype as hell. Then you had the “Face” trilogy box set in 95, which opened with Leonard Maltin interviewing Lucas, and he teased the prequel trilogy for the first time that I’m aware of, then the “Power of the Force” toyline rollout, then the Shadows of the Empire multimedia marketing blitz in ‘96, then the Special Editions in 97, and while all that is going on, there’s a ton of video games, comic books, and novels releasing on a regular basis. Then it all culminated in the marketing blitz leading up to TPM, and it was inescapable. I remember that even the Super Bowl trailer for Austin Powers 2 that year said “If you see one move this year…see Star Wars, but if you see two, see Austin Powers”. Pizza Hut, KFC, and Taco Bell had all the promotional character cups that you had to go to all three restaurants if you wanted to collect the whole set. Hell, at the end of every Friday in the weeks leading up to release, my teacher would close out the school week by playing the trailer on the class projector. It was a magical time. And then you saw the movie…
>>221275193>lone wolf and cub>one movieOH NO NO NO NO NO
>>221271504I like avatar
>>221270982>>221271095>>221272073>>221272234Unadjusted is funnier because Solo and Mando can't even beat out films whose tickets were purchased with 1980s dollars.
>>221270073How is Rogue One an exception? It was a massive decline coming from episode 7 and also performed worse than episode 8 and even 9, which both came after. If anything, it's all the proof you need to understand that spinoffs don't work on the same level as mainline films for the Star Wars franchise.Of course, for a spin-off, it performed pretty well. But its competitors in that regard are fucking Solo, Mandalorian and the trashy Clone Wars 3D feature. And maybe the Ewok films if you count their very limited cinematic release worldwide.
>>221282545>it's all the proof you need to understand that spinoffs don't work on the same level as mainline films for the Star Wars franchise.are you fucking retarded? they killed star wars with the 7,8,9 mainline movies. if the mainline movies were good the spinoffs would be more popular. 9 was so bad people didnt even bother giving solo a chance despite it being the best star wars movie since lucas.
>>221282545He's a dumb fuck and didn't read the movie titles, so he didn't even realise that it included the original 6 movies
>>221270035If Supergirl and Doomsday bomb 2026 will be the year that finally kills shared universes. Fuck homework movies
>>221283054>are you fucking retardedI'm iterally citing the numbers. You're the idiot who doesn't understand basic mathematics.
>>221283054>9 was so bad people didnt even bother giving solo a chance despite it being the best star wars movie since lucasHuh? Solo came out before Ep 9.
>>221282545Rogue One was still a box office success. Solo was an outright bomb.
>>221283316Mate, you're talking to someone spouting ridiculous bullshit like>giving solo a chance despite it being the best star wars movie since lucasDo you really think a moron like that cares for facts?
>>221277777checked
>>221283524Whether or not it was a success was not the point of the discussion. Every theatrically released Star Wars before Solo was a success, except arguably for Clone Wars.
>>221276140>Like I wasn't a giant fan of Dragon Ball ZEw, nerd.
>>221283270>I'm iterally citing the numbers. You're the idiot who doesn't understand basic mathematics.Its not "basic mathematics" when you start trying to draw abstract conclusions based on those numbers. star wars is a bad example to show the viability of spin offs because disney was at the time doing everything in their power to make fans hate the mainline movies.>>221283316ok cool. replace the 9 with an 8. both movies were complete dogshit.
>>221276592The Plinkett videos just put into words what most people were feeling. They didn't get massively popular because of the serial killer jokes.
>>221283675>when you start trying to draw abstract conclusionsHow is it an "abstract conclusion" to state that its numbers were lower than 7, 8 and 9's?>disney was at the time doing everything in their power to make fans hate the mainline movies.Right. Sure. That was their agenda. Makes total sense when they want to earn money with it.Anyway. What do you think about the Clone Wars bullshit massively underperforming right after the prequels? Was Lucas also trying to make the audience hate those?
>>221277806Retard
So Star Wars is officially a dead franchise now, great. What will Disney ruin next?
>>221276297too lazy to archive it https://bamsmackpow.com/the-mandalorian-and-grogu-box-office-loss-star-wars-obsession-backrooms
>>221284064It's still more alive than it was in the late 80s, early 90s, or after 2004. Not that that's saying much.Besides, Star Wars was always the best when it was "dead" rather than desperately trying to make profit.
I think the action was better than the sequel trilogy
>>221270035>i hurt myself, today
>>221270035thank god
It was never meant to turn a theatre profit. It's a pivot to doing 'VHS staples'. Look at all the parallels between this movie and Ewoks Battle of Endor and Caravan of courage (baby movies with pseudo star wars brand)
>>221284717>It's still more alive than it was in the late 80s, early 90s, or after 2004.Oh you're that idiot. Yeah bro, Star Wars was totally dead during the absolute pinnacle of its cultural influence and hype.Fucking mongoloid.
>>221272073I remember when /tv/ would get mad when anyone suggested using tickets instead of money because that dethrones Avatar which used to have a cultish following here.
>>221286937>during the absolute pinnacle of its cultural influence and hype.You mean 1977? That one wasn't even in the discussion.Or are you seriously one of those Clone Wars trash fanboys who thought that some cheap animated series for children was the "pineapple of muh franchise"?
>>221286966Well, Avatar isn't up there anymore either way.And both ways are inherently flawed. Inflation isn't the only factor. The whole global economic situation around the world across time would somehow need to be balanced. Possibly also looking at ticket pice development in partiular and the amount of disposable income available. Huge mess if you take this seriously.
>>221271476>Star the clone wars wars
>>221287011Zoom zoom, Star Wars was huge throughout the 80s, 90s, and 00s. Comparatively nobody gives a fuck about it now. People used to treat the Force like a real religion.
>>221287175Star Wars was literally nowhere during the late 80s and early 90s. Mentioned every now and then in some circles, aired on TV every two years. That's about it. I was around. I remember.Only the "special editions" and then episode 1 brought it back into the public eye. And as soon as the prequels were done, it quickly dissappeared again. To pretend otherwise is lying to yourself, anon.
>>221287363I don't know if you're right or not, because it was a biggest thing on vhs and top selling books around 1995. If you're saying those books started appearing ahead of the special editions in 1997 (?) then ok but if you are saying that nobody cared in 1995 that's wrong
>>221287363Zoom zoom, you can stop pretending, if you had been there you would remember the massively successful books and comics, back when people actually read books and comics
>>221270345Fuck yeah Tazos, my brother and I went through so many bags of chips to get those fucking things.Star Wars was absolutely huge in the 90s, the trilogy was showing on free-to-air TV every few months and it was ripe for parents who'd seen it to get their kids into it. The VHS release and Special Editions saw a massive jump in merchandise as well, hype for the prequels was huge.
>>221287696Star Wars home releases always sold. The 80s and 90s had their VHX boxsets. The 00s had their DVDs, the 10s their BluRays, and now it has shifted to streaming (which is an even bigger scam than all the rereleases before, but whatever). I'd not count any of those as the franchise being alive and well. It's just fans buying the same thing they already had in a new shape.But, yes, around 1995 was when the whole special edition hype started to take effect.As for the EU books, those were always a very niche thing that not only the general public at large ignored, but also the largest part of those who considered themselves fans.I think the main difference of how we look at the status of the franchise is that you judge it mostly by how much the most hardcore part of the fanbase is invested, while I judge it by how much the general audience cares.
>>221287795>the massively successful books and comicsSee >>221287889.Your books and comics were not successful by any serious metric you'd usually apply to books.
>>221282545>Ep 7 budget: $638mil>Ep 8 budget: $414mil>Ep 9 budget: $593mil>R1 budget: $280mil>solo budget: $365that's how retard
