Lordmandeep Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 My point is to say the Prequels were huge, so SW remained popular very very popular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I'm positive that most of the general public just looks at the prequels as lesser SW films, and not some abomination like the internet would have you believe.

doublejack Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 In hindsight, we all should have seen this weekend coming. JW was a good indicator. That was a continuation, after quite a gap, of an older franchise with a new installment. Like SW, the first JP is fondly remembered and the newer ones not so much. Nostalgia played a huge role in JW capturing the opening weekend record. TFA has several advantages, though. The built-in fan base is way larger. Years of Clone Wars cartoons have brought in younger fans, and older fans that were kids when the original movies came out in the late 70's / early 80's pre-date JP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking where I live. I know what's been reported. Heck I've been reporting on the lines with the tweets in case you didn't notice. Wasn't expecting it where I live. There we 0 sell outs except for preview day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Pretty much kids think SW is cool action teens to 30 year old saw the Prequels and many seen the old films. 30+ have seen the old films and have fond memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
