It's not enough time at all when they have to establish this in the general publics minds that this isn't a sequel to force awakens, it's a standalone. Set before the original trilogy.

I hope you're right. And keep going! You're doing a decent job of talking me down from the ledge. What else?
I think the last 8 movies released by Disney were

Age of Ultron
Inside Out
Ant-Man
Force Awakens
Zootopia
The Jungle Book
Civil War
Find Dory

That's a pretty staggering set of films if you're anyone other than LV. Until they fuck something up I would just assume they know what they're doing, over acontextualized internet rumors endlessly discussed by hordes of overbearing nervous fans who have little understanding of how the process of movie making works and are desperate to have something to talk about until the movie actually drops.

I think they'll figure it out, Dime. This is not that obscure a point

I suspect this will be the most lopsided box office year ever. Though I presume the HP movie will do fine. When does that come out? It wouldn't shock me if Disney was waiting for the summer season to end, and for HP to be done. Then they can use a star wars trailer to help along Dr. Strange (which is an unusual release for an MCU movie, I believe) and basically be the only movie anyone talks about for the two months prior to release.

Speak to my point that everything being so terrible right now they should promote the shit out of R1 to capitalise.

I kind of did earlier. The movie comes out in 4 months. They don't need to control the conversation now. If you start your big push that's an obnoxious pace to have to keep up for that long. The only advantage to a long campaign is building up awareness. If there is one property in the universe that does not need that help it's star wars.
