It did big numbers only because of the opnenings weeks, when unsuspecting fans and moviegoers went to see the movie with all the hype and the media reviews.

The legs have been terrible.

It is losing more than 700 millions $ compared to TFA which was released 2 years before.

And yet rian Johnson still has his own trilogy. He is a great director but he should write any on the story.

Yea, that's pretty crazy.  I mean down ~$740M WW, largest drop in the franchise, with merch sales down against even RO, and you're still giving him the reigns to the future of the franchise?

I see one of two things happening.  They are going to wait to see what kind of affect TLJ has on Han Solo, and if it is down considerably against RO, they are going to strip that trilogy from Johnson.  They might actually wait to see how Ep 9 performs, which I see being down from TLJ, to possibly take it away from him and hand it to another director, which seems to be their MO.  Or they are going to not want to admit they made a mistake, so will keep him on for the next trilogy, BUT he will no longer have as large of a control over the story.
