Solo is one of those movies that is good but there's no real drive to see it. I did see it in theaters because i love star wars but I didnt watch it again until last november actually. I thought Rogue One was a better spin off film personally

And here we go with the justice league comparisons again. From the people I know, the hype is through the roof. I do find it funny how people think this is gonna be a justice league dud at the box office. The last Jedi was not like BVS in any way. It wasnt a critically panned movie in any way, just divisive among star wars fans.
So where is your evidence the last Jedi is to blame for the toys and theme park? The same thing happened with the toys during the prequels too. it's common during the middle of a trilogy for things to slow down. I don't see you blaming the pricing of things at Galaxy's edge as a factor when it's likely that's it too. And star wars was never big in China anyway
never said some people weren't excited, but this agenda that "not that many are" is a joke. The internet is a hive for negativity and not a true representation of what goes on in the real world. Star Wars Celebration was all the evidence I needed to see that the "star wars is dead" arguement is BS. But I do find it funny how the first thing you people blame is the sequel trilogy for the low attendance for Galaxys Edge. Couldn't be the hundreds of dollars for a single item? naaaaah, no way. That one keeps making me laugh because there's a number of reasons, including the parks biggest ride not even open yet. its interesting, my brother, a lifelong star wars fan, didn't care much for TLJ at first (appreciates it now and is super excited for TROS), decided not to go to Galaxys Edge this year. Why? not because of TLJ, but because the biggest ride is not open yet. Plus they need to save money too.
About it being about something other than the sequel trilogy?
Well i do think it's had maybe some impact on possible a small portion of fans, but not to the point where an entire theme park is "failing" as clickbait youtubers like to put it. Once December rolls around, and if TROS is loved by all fans, the entire dialogue will shift once again I'm sure as it always does. the Internet tends to blow these things massively out of proportion. Like the other day when someone on reddit tried to tell me TROS is going to be a box office bomb making less than a billion. Oh yes, the conclusion to a 40+ year saga is gonna fail dramatically pffft. and unless I see direct proof that TLJ is responsible for the downfall of an entire theme park, I just can't see that as the sole reason.
Come on, man, you literally sound like Geeks & Gamers. You also have no basis in saying TROS won't hit 1 billions and there's no merchandise available for TROS yet, so you can't say that either. if TROS somehow, some way bombs, then I'll see it, but there's no evidence of that. The response to the teaser was overwhelmingly positive too, so there's that.
