I'm curious to see how TLJ will be remembered in the years to come. The Empire Strikes Back is considered the best Star Wars movies by most fans. It was not well received at the time and made the least amount of money out of the original trilogy.

Might want to double check your facts.  ROTJ made the least.  ~$60M less than ESB.  Which is about $150M in today's money.  It made a little less domestically, a little less than a $19M difference, but in other countries it did better.

I think people's opinion will stay the same or sour even more.  There is so much to ESB, both in story/lore, the characters, and effects.  What does TLJ have going for it?  Porgs?  Plotholes so big you can fly a Destroyer through them?  A side story straight out of a Disney film?  Nothing really redeeming, except some of the scenes were really nicely done.  And even though there were some good ideas in it, they ultimately led to nowhere and/or to huge letdowns.  There is nothing even close to the level of "I am your father" to be found there.

Star Wars made 307 million. ESB made 209 million. ROTJ made 253 million.
