Aren't that many what? SW fans? or SW fans boycotting the movie? of all the fans i know, 99% are pissed off. And i know hundreds.

Posted by: Filmstardust on May 27, 20:52 in response to RogerMore's post I don’t think there are that many - at least as a %...

I know people in real life, not just by social media, through all my life, some of them are long time friends. They hate the direction KK is heading. 
And by social media, i know hundreds of people, all collectors (in Topps digial cards forums just to name one) and you can clearly feel a disturbance in the force...
Those are die hard fans, people spending real money on daily basis. 

I'm going to give you an example: there's a regular set that comes for every movie, called Modernography. The average card count for that set in The Force Awakens was above 8000. 
For Solo, is just around 1000.

FWIW I took a quick look at the Star Wars subreddit and most seem to have liked it (spoilers)... tealfan May 27, 14:17

There are many fans (like myself) that are going to watch it just one time in theaters, and others not even once, just to boycott KK {nm} Filmstardust May 27, 20:23

I don’t think there are that many - at least as a % of the general audience. {nm} RogerMore May 27, 20:27

SW fans who are boycotting the movie. Hardcore fans are a small part of the general audience and even if, say, a million SW fans are RogerMore May 27, 21:12

All the reasons you mention are 100% valid, nonetheless, an important % of the general audiences heard/read that fans didn't like TLJ. --> Filmstardust May 27, 21:19

The Last Jedi was bad but Solo is really good. they don't really have anything to do with each other in my mind {nm} slipping jimmy May 27, 21:32

I liked Solo, yes, it was ok. Although i couldn't stand L3-37 and Enfys Nest revelation. {nm} Filmstardust May 27, 21:39

That's very different to a boycott though. (And I'm not so sure the general audience read that some fans didn't like TLJ, and if they did it RogerMore May 27, 21:36

SW fans see the movie up to 40x at the extreme end, not to mention a lot of us watch as families... Fitch3k May 28, 02:33

Well said, completely agree. {nm} Filmstardust May 28, 06:35

Yes, there are hundreds, but there are millions who LOVED it. If it bothers you all so much, go love another franchise and leave us alone. {nm} austpow May 27, 21:26

I will forever love SW, no matter how hard KK works to destroy it. She is just a person, and eventually will be gone. {nm} Filmstardust May 27, 21:33

Millions more hated TLJ, The descretion and humiliation of Luke legacy took longer for some to accept. Create your own SJW, leave SW alone. Baron_Darcon2017 May 27, 23:50

And the truth finally comes out, your true motivations are revealed. {nm} austpow May 28, 13:21

There are dozens of us! DOZENS! ndmaster May 27, 23:58

I think it's probably, or at least very arguably, the best of the new Star Wars films. Quite good. {nm} MiyazakiFan May 28, 15:03
