I don't know who these people are but they must be really stupid. Star Wars isn't dying anytime soon if ever, even if they do 12 crappy movies in a row it'll still have an audience. I'm just saying your point about TFA making $2b despite the prequels' backlash was total nonsense, because it really was. I mean, it's not like it came 10 years after the end of the prequels, and had a new direction, and new owners with different ideas, and promised to appeal to exactly the Star Wars fans who hated the prequels, and all that stuff... right? I mean come on, you need to put these things in perspective. The Force Awakens is as closely associated with the prequels as, I don't know, Guardians of the Galaxy is to Iron Man (okay maybe not that much but you get the point). They're part of the same franchise, sure, and they even follow the same timeline and are telling a continuous story of sorts, but they're completely unrelated in mostly everything else. It's not that people suddenly became interested in TFA just because a shiny trailer popped up (and holy god is that trailer something), they were always gonna watch it anyway. I mean of course you make a trailer as awesome as that it's bound to get more people interested, but it's not like people watched that and suddenly stopped drawing parallels to the prequels - because they never drew parallels to the prequels at all. |
That's exactly what I meant. if the new movie looks promising people will see it. Even if they hated the last one. I didn't want to quote the RLM vid verbatim so sorry if my word choice was poor.
