Anyone who thinks Disney is only taking home $200 million from The Last Jedi .... lol I've got a bridge and some fairy powder to sell you, I'll even give you a discount.
Like ok you're "outraged" with the new Star Wars, my counter to that would be "so what?". Like really, so what? Like TLJ people who don't like the film act like they're some unique crowd. You're not. Take a ticket and go stand at the back of a very long line please.
Every Star Wars movie since the OT has had very vocal backlash, with The Phantom Menace getting the worst of it. So hey, welcome to the party, you're only 18 years late, wanna play some Nintendo 64?
Disney got an absolute steal on Star Wars for $4 billion and are going to make mountains of money off the franchise and there's going to be 20 more Star Wars movies in your life time.
This trilogy is far outgrossing the prequels too, TFA inflation adjusted easily beats TPM, TLJ easily beats AOTC box office wise, Episode IX will beat Revenge of the Sith easily. You'll never match the OT, but that doesn't mean the franchise is in any danger. That's a load of bull shit plain and simple.

Acting like the movie is better than the prequels is not going to save it. The movie is hated, literally, even worse than TPM.
We are going to see the bigger effect of that in the next episode. Not now.

I don't think you're not gonna see shit. And you are probably too young to properly remember the backlash against The Phantom Menace, but it was intense.
The next movie is gonna be directed by JJ Abrams and be a people pleaser and follow the same Star Wars pattern on the 3rd in the trilogy making more than the 2nd but not as much as the 1st.
It's gonna be a fun adventure movie with lots of Rey/Finn/Poe bonding/banter/fun and probably some kind of dramatic ending for Kylo, and people will eat that shit up. It will be a safer, faster paced film, for better or worse, but the mainstream audience will likely eat it up.
Also I think it will benefit from some breathing room, it will be over a year+ from the last Star Wars movie and that's going to be that Han Solo pic which isn't really as big as Rogue One was, Rogue One is pretty close to being a standard entry for the franchise.
