Post Empire Strikes Back Money Grab

Post by Sgt. Crackpot »

When the movies reached a pinnacle in their belief that their own artistic expression was critically important following the release of Empire Strikes Back and subsequent merchandise flood. The bulk of 1980 and 2004 was their internal realization that they really weren't going to make a difference, and decided to solely focus on making money.

Ewoks and JarJar are the worst examples.

Jesus, moving Ep. VIII to December is a clear example of the PESBMG!

Huh. I was against moving TLJ to December.

Last month, I was against NOT moving Solo to December.

I'm a fickle fucker.
