This movie was never going to make as much as The Force Awakens. And Disney/Lucasfilm has acknowledged that. I just don't understand how this movie is a "failure" by any conceivable rubric. It was the highest grossing film of 2017. It wasn't eve going to make TFA numbers and it didn't. But it was a staggering success.
Without all the condescending remarks and down-talking, can someone please, in plane, simple language, explain to me why this is a "bomb"?

BVS made money as well.
A good chunk of fans think it's damaged the brand of Star Wars the same Way BVS did and are using the historic Drop off per week to justify said hate.
I'm hoping it did damage the Brand and after Solo bomb's they fire Rian from the new trilogy.
I don't want Rian Johnson near Star wars or any sci fi movie for that matter ever again.
