There are always exceptions, but nowhere near enough to count, i.e. support a brand by purchasing tickets to see every film, or subscribing to something such as Disney+, buying product from t shirts to toys to mugs, to attending and supporting cons, and everything else in between. For that matter, why would Disney want to go back and drop money into something that cost them heavily in the first place?

This borders somewhere between ridiculous and hysterical. What fans would do you allude to?
Do you mean the fans who left all of those Jyn Erso, Snoke and Rose Tico figures behind to make their way to discount retailers where they now dwell? Do you mean the fans who let Disney lose it's ass with Star Wars to the tune of $250+ million? Do you mean all of those new fans that the brand has generated from the recent films, that doesn't help park attendance that is now at an all-time low? They haven't done anything for Star Wars yet, but somehow they will support the brand in the years and decades to come, right? And that's a very broad statement, to call an entire roster of membership and those who frequent the site as "bigots", as if you actually knew every single on of those people personally. Some olds may be self centered, but some people apparantly suffer from delusions and dwell not in reality. I'm not a member of that site, and I have no interest in Star Wars (I guess I'm just self centered), just in case you are looking for ammunition in your rebuttal. And no, no one will carry a line, "just fine", just because there is some perceived imaginary army of sequel fans out there, because there is a thing called reality. You should check it out sometime. Star Wars lines do come and go from time to time and with Disney losing it's ass from film, to toys, to park attendance, and the very real possibility that Iger himself may be shown the door, or the fact that discussions are being made, right now, to sell an entire studio (ABC) in an effort to stop the mass hemorrhaging, means you have absoluty no clue or credibility, when you assume that a line will sell, just because. 1) figures from all the movies pegwarm. Lando in his ESB gear, his general gear, and disguise gear have been available on pegs for years. By your logic, people don't like the OT. 2) Yes, Disney took a bath on their incredibly overpriced hotel. Park attendance is a separate issue and it's at an all time low because they were over-charging. 3) well fans of the sequels made them multibillion dollar movies 4)read jta for 5 minutes and tell me they aren't a bunch of old ass bigots |

For the first nine months of 2023, Hasbro’s revenue declined 11% versus last year to $3.71 billion.
Three. Billion. Dollars. Revenue. Fuck these people.

Oh no! Not capitalism in my Reagan era, rah-rah America based fandom!

No, it's not a separate issue. Because it all comes out of Disney's pocket. When they are bleeding so much money, why in Hell would they start producing and selling product that only made it's way to discount chains the first time and lost them a metric ton of cash when the films flopped? 3. No, fans of the sequels haven't made them "billions" of dollars. In fact, poor ticket sales and longtime buyers becoming apathetic to the brand in general, including the toy aisles, has all punched a massive hole in Disney's vault. 4. Why would I do that? Why would I care what someone else thinks, the world is filled with 8 billion people, it stands to reason that people are going to feel different about things. It says more about you when you lump an entire roster into one category, simply because you disagree with their views on Star Wars sequel films.

It's the whole false perpetual growth model that businesses insist on following. If you don't surpass the previous year's profits, even if you STILL make a profit the following year, you suddenly have to downsize, raise prices, use cheaper materials, etc...
Just making a profit isn't enough. These companies think they have to make MORE money every single year, no matter what kind of crippling economy or pandemic or war (or all three) is happening.

Plus, they keep re-releasing Lando, because he's the only black guy in the OT. Everyone who wants him has him, by now.

I suppose you dont own share in the stock market if you write those words. But if you do, surely you understand why they do it.
