Dang! I heard there was some movie guy named Blum. He figured instead of paying $500 million to make a movie, why not just spend $1 million?
Maybe that would fix things?
Seriously, as awful as I thought TLJ was, I don't think Disney needs to start microbudgeting. Star Wars should be the biggest name in town. They don't need to spend less; they need to spend wiser.
1) Get a guy like Feige with a broad plan for the SW universe.
2) Stop firing directors halfway through.
3) Stay faithful to the overall world (while generally ignoring SW EP1-3, and TLJ)
4) Add some fresh, diverse casting (Rey, Finn, Jyn Erso, Cassian Andor)
5) Continue to push the boundaries of technological wonder (get a team of the best guys like ILM in the 80's & 90's)
6) Stop hiring Rian Johnson. Fire Rian Johnson. For the love of god, please do not do a threequel based on Rian's ideas. Rian, go make a sequel to Looper, ok?

Hey, look, a pattern....... {nm} Jun 30, 02:11
What's not part of the pattern is having a Star Wars movie every year. {nm} Jun 30, 05:44
2 a year guaranteed to lose interest. along with too fast writing and film making. overkill {nm} Jun 30, 14:19
First of the trilogy is highest. Second is lowest. Third is roughly half way between first and second. {nm} Jun 30, 09:11
So close to $312.50 {nm} Jun 30, 06:52
Force Awakens: $2,068.2M {nm} Jun 30, 11:23
Rogue One $1,056M {nm} Jun 30, 11:23
Kathleen Kennedy, Ruin Johnson, JJ insult, demean fans, say they don't owe original fans anything. {nm} Jun 30, 11:23
Last Jedi $1,332.5 M drop of $736 Million {nm} Jun 30, 11:24
Solo $ 357M drop of $699 Million... first certified SW FLOP... LOSS 80+Million {nm} Jun 30, 11:24
Both record drops in $$$ in a franchise {nm} Jun 30, 11:24
If Solo cost $250+M with P &A $400+M rumored $450M+ possibly $500M+ definitely most expensive SW to date. {nm} Jun 30, 11:26
and a LOSS of $212M+ to $312M+ without ancillaries or tax credits to reduce overall FLOP.. Still SW is severely damaged. {nm} Jun 30, 11:28
