Expecting $750-$800 mill for TLJ is a bit laughably high in expectation, don't you think?

Avengers: Infinity War is probably not even going to hit $700 million, let alone $750 mill.

Star Wars doesn't have that kind of pull without massive build-up/hype for 10+ years that makes the movie a special event. The second chapter of a Star Wars usually has a 30%+ drop from the opening chapter, the big reason is "normal people" don't need to see the second chapter.

Also no Harrison Ford and good luck ... you're stuck with a galaxy full of overrated characters in terms of modern audience appeal. Just because Star Wars fans think having a cool lightsaber and a pony tail makes an awesome character alone doesn't mean the general average film viewer who is OK with Star Wars but isn't fanatical about it is going to care that much to watch a middle chapter of a Star Wars trilogy multiple times (which is basically the only way to hit $700 mill or more).
