Star Wars: Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker

[Anders]

Uhmm last avengers was not universally loved

I’ve heard nothing but good things. For me personally it was also a very positive experience watching it in the cinema.

[Anders]

I think Endgame, because the last Avengers movie was universally loved. Of course episode IX will do fantastic as well. It's the final part of the saga every adult grew up on, and which has had such great box office success with grown ups and kids in the past few years. Solo not doing great has nothing to do with it. It's the final episode. People will go to see it.

Weren’t you just complaining about th Bye being universally loved in that other thread?

Sorry, I don’t understand the question.

Neither are in cinemas anymore so what happens now is irrelevant. Home sales and downloads don’t count toward the final total. They will someday I reckon.

Not really. The Star Wars OT is universally loved.

It’s really not. I’m not saying this just to disagree with you. I listen to endless Star Wars pods and among my own friends also who are fans and their kids don’t respond to the ot. They’re too slow they look crap by modern standards and they just don’t speak to a lot of kids. Not all but a lot. They like Rebels and clone wars and the prequels and most troubling for you maybe the new films.

the critic reviews were very good (not 100% good, but good) and the fan experience was extremely positive, which is what is relevant to this conversation. For the audience who wanted to see Infinity War it delivered what they wanted, and created a genuine pop culture moment. There was next to know public 'backlash' against it, and you won't find videos talking about how Infinity War was unfaithful to the prior MCU story, mistreated characters, etc.

[stip]

I cant speak to your side of the Atlantic but starwars has far more reach with regular cinema goers here than the MCU. Which is kind of more niche than SW. as far as I know TFA is still the #1 at the box office here (which amounts to absolutely nothing at all money wise in the grand scheme of things)
But word of mouth drives things here more than any marketing campaign. SW gets tv ads here whereas MCU films don’t.
It’s weird.
It really doesn’t matter to any of us, both sagas are coming to an end and we don’t make or lose anything from it either way. But the reason I askedt, Is it all that fractured? (I don’t believe it is) and if it is what effect will that have?

They both have enormous reach in the US, but I think globally the MCU is generally more popular - especially in places that may not have been steeped in American pop culture when Star Wars was becoming Star Wars.

Basically China loves the MCU and doesn't give a shit about Star Wars

Please don't do this, Stip.

You've been away so long you probably have no idea but it's just not worth it. I promise.

[stip]

But obviously both of these movies will do extremely well. The question is whether or not they'll top their predecessors

Now that’s the real question. Well played.

Agreed.

Does that include TFA?

[stip]

i was thinking just tlj


endgame has a shot. Ep IX never will

[dimejinky99]

I’d say IX will make the same or more than TLJ.
It’s the final chapter. Soon as the marketing starts and teasers hit it’ll all kick in

[dimejinky99]

Adam Driver: ‘"With Star Wars, I had one piece of information of where it was all going, and that’s where it has been in my head for a long time, and things were building towards that."

You mean....they're not making it up as they go? They've had an idea in mind the whole time? NO WAY!

Also echoes with Rian saying he was told ‘this is where it has to end up. Do whatever you like to get it there.’
