[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 483986, member: 7379"] I agree Disney do indeed absolutely care about the bottom line, and the simple truth is that TLJ didn't make the money Disney expected or wanted. They absolutely will therefore be looking for the reasons why, and they won't have to look very far to hear the chorus of disapproval online from fans that didn't like it in 'the countless comments decrying how terrible TLJ was'. I have no problem at all with fans who like TLJ. I genuinely don't understand why they like it, but I absolutely accept that they do and I am fine with that. However it also seems to me that the film's defenders are often very quick to criticise those fans who can't stand it, as though the defenders feel they are being personally attacked for liking a film others don't. Some people are also needlessly rude about fans that don't like the film, calling us 'crank fans' (thanks for that, btw. If being a dedicated fan of Star Wars since 1977, spending thousands of pounds on merchandising over the years and actually giving a damn about the content we are being fed makes me a 'crank', then a 'crank' I am). As already stated by me above (and doubtless by countless others too), TLJ splits opinion like no other Star Wars film, with half the fan base liking it and the other half hating it. That's not a scenario that's in Disney's best financial interests (that 'bottom line', you mentioned), as people like me that would have gone to see the film multiple times and then bought it on Blu-ray only went to see it once, and regret doing even that, and certainly won't be buying it on Blu-ray. And that's a scenario Disney will most certainly want to change. So perhaps all those 'wasted hours' typing out why a huge number of people have a problem with the film might not be quite so wasted after all. [/QUOTE]
