Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 9643902" data-attributes="member: 18">No, I wasn't suggesting that was "needed".I was suggesting that would "likely happen".These are different things.That's not how Disney sees the well over $1bn+ grossing sequels though, is it?That's how certain people on the internet - mostly American Gen X men - see them. If I talk to actual xennial, millennial and older Gen Z real-life humans I know, whilst opinions vary, none of them see any of the sequels as "trash fires", not even TRoS, because normal, non-internet people don't go around calling movies "trash fires" unless they're truly offensively bad, which not even TRoS was in reality (and don't get me wrong, I'm internet, I see TRoS as a "trash fire", I suck too). They might say "Well the last one was kind of crap, wasn't it?" or "That middle one was a bit weird!", usually before complimenting some aspect of the movie in question to show they aren't "weird" haters.For Disney, that's all valuable IP that they've already wrapped into the main series of movies and isn't something that they're going to discard, nor should they, given the grosses and the huge amount of merch they moved - I don't know about post-TRoS, but certainly post-TLJ, the sequels were still moving insane amounts of merch.</blockquote>
