Star Wars is a huge franchise and having access to that franchise means needing to go through Disney. Not everyone is invited to a press screening, a privilege that can be revoked at any time which means your review gets out later than all the other reviews which in turn costs you visits of your review website.

That's one way critics could be influenced.

Just stop, there is no way to influence or to "buy" millions of critics from hundreds of different countrys around the world. This bulshit conspiracy theory has gone too far.

I'm alluding to the possibility of Disney putting reviewers who like Disney's stuff on a good list and putting those who dislike Disney's stuff on a naughty list.

 

They've tried something similar not long ago: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/07/business/disney-la-times.html

Disney somehow always buy critics and yet Warner, Sony and other studios don't

Disney doesn't have to buy critics, it just has to maintain lists accordingly. Of course Warner and Sony are able to do this as well but neither Warner nor Sony have purchased a franchise for billions of dollars like Disney did with Star Wars.

its nonsensical to the extreme that anyone actualy believes that. Seriously ppl the answer here isn't some crazy scheme, it is the simple fact the movie is great. Is it different from the usual Star Wars film ? Ye it definetly is, very different Id say so. But all that aside, as a movie, evaluating solely what is being presented on screen, it is a fantastic piece of cinema.
