Why are you making stuff up? Jumanji: The Next Level came out: December 13, 2019

Star Wars was third fiddle behind Potter and LOTR during the prequel era. Being second fiddle to Marvel is a step up in comparison. Hell you could even say Star Wars was fourth fiddle during the prequel era behind Potter, LOTR, and Spider-Man.

Honestly this stuff only helps TROS. Remember when people thought the anger and freakouts would hurt Joker? No it helped build awareness. Same here.

Yo, can we keep the worship of racists out of the Star Wars thread? That too much to ask? This has nothing to do with TROS.

You should *NEVER* use comment sections as a judge of what the public thinks about anything. The only people who post in comments sections are the crazies. It is likely just the same 100-200 people spamming every article about Star Wars because they have no lives. If we felt youtube/comment sections/etc were at all a way to gauge how a film will do then Captain Marvel would have been a bomb and not the massive success it was. Wanna know how the GA engages in social media? They post pictures of their kids and vacations on Facebook and Instagram and thats about it. 99.999% of the movie going audience isn't posting angry comments in comment sections.

Primetime special on ABC Dec 16. They haven’t done that before!

To be fair, the critics were clearly in the right when it came to TLJ. Got proven yet again with Knives Out.

Dec 18th. One day before previews. Just like they did with TFA

You are going to be there opening weekend. Just like every single person who still complains about TLJ two years later. No one, and I mean *no one* believes people like you are going to actually boycott the finale of the Star Wars saga. The return of Ian McDiarmid as Palpatine. The return of Billy Dee Williams as Lando. One final time seeing Mark Hamill as Luke, Carrie Fisher as Leia, & Anthony Daniels as Threepio. And potentially many others kept under wraps (See Warwick Davies as Wicket in the behind the scenes video for example). No fan is boycotting this movie. None. Zip. Zero. No matter how much they pretend they are online.

Tracking says 40m opening for this and 205m opening for TROS though....

Ah yes, a consistently critically acclaimed very successful director who released a very popular and successful Star Wars movie. What about him again?

It's tracking above what TFA was tracking at at this point, you realize this right?

You have no clue the context of how he is in the movie, you have no basis for declaring this given the complete lack of context we have as it is kept under wraps.

Well, that matches the popularity of the three trilogies in the general public almost exactly. As in terms of being well liked and popular it goes: OT >>> ST >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> PT. And I say this as someone who has warm memories of the prequel era.

Yeah you can explain it pretty quickly in just 2 or so lines of dialogue.
