All three in the ST are some of the biggest movies of all time, in news stories, box office, even on RM.

I agree with joe, leave Mando in tv, and make something new after the events of the last movie.
ROTS is the end, they have thousands of years of prequels they can do.
the end of what? The Patty Jenkis movies was actually set after ROTS.

And of course, they will eventually tell stories after ROTS.

Im not talking bout money. TROS wasnt even near in the hype and exitement around Endgame. TLJ kinda failed on that regard too.

i would say TFA was the last one were everyone was talking bout it, fan or not.

Endgame was massive, no doubt about it. But tough to find many other movies more hyped and talked about in the last decade than the ST.

Who knows what will happen decades from now, but there are no plans to make anything set after TROS. It was the end of the Skywalker saga. The Star Wars story from between TPM to TROS.

yeah star wars fans are talking...its not my point.

SW movies used to be huge events, everyone was going to see it. huge nerd, fans or people who just saw the first one. Phantom Menace too was a huge deal.

The last one failed at that, maybe cause of the backlash of last jedi? not sure. Maybe because we got Endgame that very same year? probably.

But those Avengers movie kinda took their place.

Again, Rogue Squadron was set after the events of the sequel. TROS being the ¨end¨ of the saga was more of a gimmick than actually true, cmon we all know that right

Someone with better research chops and actual stats to back it up would have to discuss this but the ST trilogy and Rise in general felt just as huge as the PT. But maybe that's just from a certain point of view. I certainly know many, many casual baseline fans who enjoyed the ST more than the PT and were really excited to see the story continue, even though they don't really follow Star Wars beyond the movie theater.

But I'm sure we all have different anecdotal experiences we could throw around that don't amount to anything.

I'm sure we will continue to get stories set after the ST. But that doesn't mean Rise wasn't the end of the skywalker saga. Both things can be true.

Subjective and not easy to measure, but it felt huge here. Everyone talking about it. I went twice to the cinema to see it, difficult to get tickets, sold out for weeks.

All time worldwide box office, Endgame is second only to Avatar.
The ST was 4, 15 and 34 (and the road from 34 to a place in the 20s at least for TROS, was stopped by covid-19.

Im not talking about money wise, even if i think even Disney was letdown by the box office from Last Jedi and Rise. Im saying they didnt quite felt like this crossover movie event Star Wars used to be until that point.

Of course its a matter of perception, but i also read a few articles in that regard, which kinda got me thinking i wasnt alone in this.

As im not in a huge SW group ( RM is the Sw nerd group these days) i was surprised on how little everyone talked or asked or care bout the last movie.

I remember PM being a much bigger deal at the time than TFA was. When it was announced, other than the special edition of the original three movies being released, there really wasn’t much going on in the way of Star Wars. No tv shows, no comics. Just EU novels and maybe the Shadows of the Empire video game. That’s it. So it was much more of an event because fandom never really thought we’d get any kind of new Star Wars anything other than books and games or something. When TFA was announced, we already had multiple tv shows, years’ worth of comics and novels and other things that were keeping Star Wars in the public eye. So it wasn’t so big a shock when it was announced. The big shock was that Lucas had sold it all to Disney.

I understand what you're saying. I know you're not talking about money and neither am I. Again, your focus determines your reality, but in my experience every movie in the ST was huge (by which I mean, enthusiasm was high, people were excited, people saw it several times, and there was a ton of discussion in my circles). Not financially, it was culturally, a big deal. But again that's jut my experience.

I agree that in my experience TPM was massive. The expectations were through the roof. I actually don't remember anything quite like it -- not even Endgame. TFA was hampered by trepidation, I think, more than exterior content. I don't most people gave a shit about the comic or Rebels or Clone Wars, etc. In my experience, it was far more like, oh-no, I don't want to get too excited because remember what happened with TPM???

and guys, i know all of you are huge fans of the ST, and that cool. Rise not being a huge deal for everyone doesnt mean it was a bad movie (i consider it an awful movie of course).

The cultural impact doesnt really say anything about the quality of the movie at all, specially these days.

hell, i could also make my point with Mandalorian - The book of Boba Fett.

Mando was the first tv series in this world!! huge fucking deal.
Boba Fett seemed like it was treated as an afterthought.

I haven’t heard anyone discussing the Boba Fett show outside of some buried news articles and RM. But I have heard even less of the Marvel shows, so that’s not surprising. I actually think Mando has done remarkably well. Even talked about around the lunch table at my work, or with my friends and family, without me instigating it.
