Either they don’t like Star Wars or simply find it funny how a huge franchise in many countries is doing so abysmally in the biggest emerging box office market. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Lehnsherr Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Idk I just find it funny how the biggest franchise in North America got completely rejected by the 2nd Biggest Market. I say that as a huge Star Wars fan btw but some things need a reality check every once in a while. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Yeah, I'm a SW fan too, and will watch every SW movie for sure. I think Solo's PS are hilariously low now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's hilarious. The biggest franchise in the world (no more cause MCU is now it) cannot penetrate the most sought-after market in the world. Nobody saw that coming and that's exciting. It's simply the thrill of the unexpected. I do have some personal reasons such as that I hate NuWars focus on OT era and want them to start thinking outside of that box. And failure is the only thing that can make them do it. Edited May 17, 2018 by Valonqar 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between China and India, a third of the world's population just does not care for what is the biggest franchise most everywhere else.

Sam Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 @Proxima OliveWhat’s the significant of 520 in China? I read that it’s like a mini Valentine, but what brought on the occasion, does it have to do with how 520 is pronounced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I just think Star Wars as a franchise is incredibly overrated. IMHO all of the Star Wars movies are somewhere between mediocre and pretty good, and yet they end up being rated as these all time greats, so it's nice seeing that not everyone is sucked into this Star Wars craziness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
