Then it's not really worth talking about with you. I'll admit my original post was a bit overblown, I agree that we should wait for the movies to be finished before judging them *entirely*. Putting my personal opinion on quality aside though, it's not really arguable that Disney has mismanaged the license. Yes they are making a profit , I already stated that. Doesn't change the issues they have had. You yourself are admitting to trying to minimize the subject/issue. Nothing wrong with ignoring how a movie is made, but in a thread solely about such a topic, trying to minimize it from the get go doesnt do anything positive.

Im sorry but youre just wrong, opinions aside the only thing objective here is that they released 2 movies so far, both were criticaly aclaimed and a box office hit, if you don't like them thats your opinion, so far Disney has been 2 for 2 so they are handling the franchise perfectly well actualy. And Disney here is probably just Kathleen Kenedy realy, she learned well from Kevin Feige and this sort of management has worked wonders for the Marvel franchise, the MCU is the highest grossing franchise ever, you can't realy argue with the woman for taking a leaf out of Feige's book. 

It's frustrating that pretty much every reply I've gotten is "if you don't like them" or "they're box office hits" , both of which I've addressed already. My comment about Disney mishandling the license actually has nothing to do with that, since I think it was pretty obvious I was talking about the production of films, and not the amount of revenue grossed or how critically acclaimed the films are. You know, because that's what this entire thread is about? It should be pretty obvious that Disney is mishandling the series during production given how well documented it is, but considering I've gotten the same reply from you and another user, i'm just going to assume nothing will change your thought process. Again, never talked about the quality of the films(aside from my OG comment which is just about "creative differences") or how much money they made. Those are not the only things to consider when talking about how a franchise is handled. Since you guys want to make a success story out of Star Wars movies doing well in theatres(shocker), I'll just say that 3 out of 4 of Disney's Star Wars movies that were or are in production have had serious issues during development. I don't even care that this specific director was fired, he is not that great in the first place. 

The irony is that I think you're only commenting like this because Star Wars is in a better place than it was during the Prequels. You like the movies more so you defend them. But i'm not talking quality or revenue. And guess what? The prequels were very successful! So i'm not talking all that, i'm talking how it's handled during production.
