    Good, I hope it does terrible. The only way to get what you want out of a mega corp is by tanking their financials until they change.

    Disney won’t change but I boycott them regardless.

    I went and saw it in theaters. It was pretty good. Not earth shattering, but it just basically felt like a really long episode of the show.

    Also, Zeb from Rebels was pretty prominent and I’m a sucker for Rebels characters.

    Why would I pay $100 to see this movie when I’ll get to see it in a few months with a Disney+ subscription?

      You’re still playing the game and losing lmao.

      This correct answer is why would I pay $13 to see Disney slop that even an ad spam page will have reuploaded in 1080p the moment it goes love on streaming.

      Although for me it would be why would I waste storage space to download a 4k webrip of Disney slop lol.

        my local threater its 35 dollars for a single adult ticket, popcorn is 22 dollars for a medium, and a soda costs 18 dollars for a medium.

        After taxes your looking at like 85-90 bucks. And heaven HELP you if you want anything else!

          $18 for a medium soda??? My cinema ticket costs €13, popcorn is about €8 and soda might be like 4€ and I am already complaining about the prices.

          Getting a friend for $100 doesn’t sound too bad. Do you have to give them back at the end of the movie was it more rental agreement?

          I went and saw it for $70 with myself and my three kids, plus popcorn and a drink. Unless you’re in a high cost of living place like New York City or San Fran, it’s not THAT bad. Not great, but not quite that bad.

            In SF, on a matinee, $77 for the 3D IMAX. The movie was mid. If my son didn’t want to see it, I’d have waited for D+

            Edit forgot to say, 2 adults, 2 kids. + Another $20 for Popcorn and an icee for the kids to split

              Well that checks out for San Fran. That city is expensive as fuck. I don’t know how anybody affords to live there, but I’m glad you’re making it work.

    Andor is the only star wars property that was in any good, and that’s also because they ended it in 2 seasons. The rest are milked into mediocrity.

      From Disney: Rogue One is season 3 of Andor, but you’re correct, it’s a phenomenal trilogy. Look to the animations; there are some great stories there. Bad Batch is pretty good. Rebels is great, and could make your eyes leak. If you soldier through all of Clone Wars… season 7 might be some of the best stars to war. I know multiple men it’s made cry.

    There’s a new Star Wars movie?

    Bros, you killed the franchise with all the mediocre shit you pumped out. You bought an IP, you drove it into the ground by shoveling out a bunch of cash-grab trash, and now you wonder why people aren’t lining up for your new movie?

    Are you kidding? There is literally no industry in which this strategy works. walmart might as well put out a special new “locally made” brand on their shelves, and marvel at why people aren’t falling over themselves to buy it.

      This was supposed to be the final season but because of the success of the series they decided to try to make it into a movie instead

      The cost to go with a movie with one friend is around $30-35 where I live. This assumes buying no concessions.

      The cost to buy that movie on a physical format (assuming it releases on one) is $20-30 depending on whether that format is DVD or Blu-Ray.

      A lot of folks right now could not afford either option. But even for those who can, the math doesn’t math on movie theaters.

        And while concessions have been overpriced forever, they’ve really gone nuts with it recently. I was gonna buy a large bag of popcorn, a bottled water, and 2 sodas and it was gonna be like 50 bucks.
