What happened? I thought everyone loved Star Wars?

To be fair, it costs like $120 for one ticket into Disneyland.

It's more or less entirely nu-Wars as far as I'm aware.

Apparently it was supposed to be "come and hang and have adventures with all your favorite Star Wars characters", but then they switched management close to completion and he got rid of all the "actors".
They basically took Westworld and removed all the androids, so now all you can do is walk around and look at things and buy gift shop tat at 500% markup.

Do you really need an explanation? Here goes...

>nobody wants to fly to Florida to see an unfinished strip of a Disney park, except the unhinged parts of the fandom that came on opening week
>kids don't care about Star Wars anymore, since Marvel is all the rage now, so they don't ask their parents to go to the star wars section
>park only has one shitty ride so nobody wants to see it on the basis of the rides
I don't actually think it reflects the current disillusion with star wars so much, and had they grounded it in the OT or prequels, they'd get a little bit more attendance.

But nobody is actually going to pay a plane ticket to go see a star wars with only one ride. So why is everyone surprised?

>Spielberg "suggested" JJ Abrams for director and Alden Ehrenreich for Solo A Star Wars Story
>Always appearing Star Wars events and hanging behind Lucas

I don't see need to point out the obvious.

there's nothing to do there compared to the rest of the park

>Palpatino's Pizza
>Mustafa
>EXTREME HYPERSPACE!!!!
>some place called Utapa(was that even in the movies?)
Sounds like a fun place.

Yeah Utapau is the planet with big craters where Obi Wan killed grievous (Grievous Drop is a fucking great name for a coaster btw)

Oh yeah, now I remember.
It was a pretty fun Battlefront 2 map as I recall.

These photos are RACIST and SEXIST

yeah interestingly asymmetrical, one side gets hangars with tanks while the other side gets a fortified, elevated position which gives easier access to a crucial control point

It's just a star wars themed shopping center with extreamly overpriced trash.

No, I’m saying it was formerly Chuck’s

Going to theme parks in general is a waste of time and money. You spend up to $80 to get in, but you can only go on like 10 rides the whole day because the lines are so fucking long (unless you spend more money to buy a fast pass to jew your way to the front of lines.) You literally pay to stand in line for over an hour with the hot sun burning you to a crisp. Not to mention all the food and drinks are costly and all the "games" where you win a teddy bear or whatever are stacked against you. Also, there are still parts of theme parks where you have to pay yet AGAIN to get into. Yes, it's true, I've seen it.

Might as well save that money towards a 7 day all-inclusive resort in the caribbean

>both Ehrenreich and JJ are Jews and both are incompetent at their jobs
I smell tribalism/nepotism.

There's nothing STAR WARS in Galaxies Edge. It's set on a Planet that's not in any of the films or shows. There's no Darth Vader or Chewbacca actors walking around. There's no Yoda puppet or anything. There's no memorable scenes recreated.

If it wasn't for the Falcon and a few first order Troopers walking around, you'd have no idea it was even a Star Wars land. If they recreated scenes, locations, characters and rides from the OT, that shit would be at maximum capacity every second of the day. But they didn't, they didn't even fill it with anything from the PT or the ST (Troopers aside.)

>It's set on a Planet that's not in any of the films or shows. There's no Darth Vader or Chewbacca actors walking around. There's no Yoda puppet or anything. There's no memorable scenes recreated.
How could they fuck up so bad?

The one ride there sucks ass. I was just there. Took less than 45 minutes to get on.

By comparison, the guardians of the galaxy ride takes longer to get on without a fast pass over a year after opening.

The atmosphere is cool and very detailed. There’s just nothing to do. The other lands are dense as fuck with shit to do every two feet

She has the logo of the rebellion on her jacket. In fact I'm certain that is a Rebel pilot jacket. The hell kind of spy is that?

Also doesn’t help that it’s hidden a ten minute walk from anywhere else in the park

That's probably a big part of it. Mainly seems to be just because it was cheaper to fire all the costumed actors and make the ride attendants memorize their lines instead.

How much of an actual profit has Disney made on their 4 billion investment?

It would have been so easy to turn a profit too.

All they had to do was:
>create their theme parks in line with the older movies and let lifelong SW nerds sit in the cockpit on an x-wing and take pics being force choked by vader and shit on the original established planets rather than some nu-wars shopping mall ripped from an OC Donut Steel book
>Realize the original trio were the only reason people gave a fuck about 7-9 and focused the story on them while keeping finn, poe, rey as side characters at best
>dont throw away the expanded universe star wars fans have been jerking off to for 30+ years

Releasing the original theatrical cuts of the original films would be an easy way to make at least 500 mil so I would start there as far as fixing this shit-mess.

No way that is one shift. Most workers are part time, that is just all 3 shifts plus the extra weekend people and all the people that are on staff roll but only get a shift 2 days a week becuase so many people quit you need a deep bench

Hondo is based. Jim Cummings is based.

this is so weird

I thought you weren't allowed to wear costumes in the park.

Wow. That's impressively claustrophobic. 11/10. Would manifest the condition on the spot.

What I gotta know is, how much does Disney actually get from the box office? It's obviously not 100% of it, no matter how many shills I've seen on this board and elsewhere try to argue that they do. I remember Last Jedi they got at least 60% of the first few weeks or something?

if you go with the normal 50/50 cut, the movies have made about 2,43 billion back. I don't know how much Disney has made from the other deals they've done, like gaming rights and so on.

It has to be remembered though, that Disney is shrewder negotiator with their percentages and they do provide distribution on more areas than most companies, so what they've made from theaters might be closer to 3 billion.

This all doesn't count how much they've spent on other SW related stuff like theme parks and so on. So, even if they would have made all the money back from movies, they'd still be on the red with the investment.

that thing works there

That's true, here's an example:

mashable.com/2017/11/01/star-wars-last-jedi-theaters-disney/

>The contract to run the latest Star Wars film, which lands everywhere in just six weeks, also ups Disney's take to 70 percent if the theater puts a foot wrong on a number of counts, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

>U.S. theater owners are required to run the movie for four weeks without skipping a single screening if they want to avoid that penalty. They also have to run specific marketing promotions for the film exactly when Disney wants, and not a day early.

>It's an unusual clause, both in its duration (two weeks is more common for hit Disney movies) and its level of punishment — 5 percent of the Last Jedi gross could make the difference between profit and loss for many theaters.

>Other blockbuster movies might give at most a 60 percent take to the studio, and even then the theater would usually get more after the first week or so. Internationally, a 40 percent cut is more common.

They've spent over 1B on Galaxy edge and it still isn't complete.

I don't think Disney runs the Star Wars operation. Kevin Feige is in charge of Marvel and Kathleen Kennedy is in charge of Disney.
All Disney can do is fire Kennedy and bring someone else in (but there could be language in the contract that prevents that)

>le 4D Chess mayne
Q predicted this

Attached: 7676.png (547x494, 128K)

And the Wall Street Journal link added this:

>Before exhibitors can begin screening “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” this December, they must first commit to a set of top-secret terms that numerous theater owners say are the most onerous they have ever seen. Disney will receive about 65% of ticket revenue from the film, a new high for a Hollywood studio. Disney is also requiring theaters to show the movie in their largest auditorium for at least four weeks.

>Ignoring the terms carries an unusual penalty. If a theater violates any condition of the distribution agreement, Disney can take an additional 5% cut, bringing the studio’s total haul to 70% of sales on a movie likely to gross more than $500 million at the domestic box office.

>The case of “The Last Jedi” highlights a perpetual but growing tension between the business partners that bring movies to the public: studios and theaters. Negotiations between the two parties have grown pitched as Disney has become one of the most powerful studios in Hollywood and theaters have lost leverage as box-office sales fall. Box-office revenue is down 5% so far this year.

>Few operators can afford to turn away a Disney windfall. But some independent theaters have decided against screening “Last Jedi” when it is released, saying the company’s disproportionate share of ticket sales and four-week hold make little economic sense—especially in small towns.

>“There’s a finite number of moviegoers in my market, and I can service all of them in a couple of weeks,” said Lee Akin, who operates a single-screen theater in Elkader, Iowa (population: 1,213).

>If he were to sign up for the movie under Disney’s terms, Mr. Akin said he would be stuck playing “Last Jedi” to near-empty auditoriums toward the end of a monthlong run while still giving Disney 65% of those paltry sales. The studio is applying the 65% split across all weeks of the film’s release, rather than some studios’ practice of beginning a split at a high figure and then lowering it in subsequent weeks.

>“When [studios] get much bigger than the other guys, that’s when all these wacky rules come into place,” said Mr. Akin.

>Most theatrical releases send about 55% of ticket sales back to studios, though the average split is about 60% on major hits. Hollywood makes more money on tickets sold in the U.S. than in overseas markets, where the split averages about 40%. Disney has deals with some exhibitors that give it less than 65% on “Last Jedi.”

>Previous “Star Wars” installments gave Disney 64% of ticket sales and included four-week holds, and other releases from the studio usually require a minimum of two weeks of screenings. But Disney’s 5% penalty for failing to meet terms on “Last Jedi” is unusual. The charge will be implemented for various violations, including if a theater pulls even one “Star Wars” screening from its schedule or begins marketing the movie before Disney gives the go ahead, according to theater operators.

>The four-week hold in a theater’s largest auditorium, meanwhile, has frustrated distribution executives at rival studios that also have major releases hitting theaters around Christmastime. Soon after the “Last Jedi” opens on Dec. 15, such movies as Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc.’s “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” and Twentieth Century Fox’s “The Greatest Showman” will begin jockeying for screen times. Twentieth Century Fox’s owner, 21st Century Fox Inc., and Wall Street Journal parent News Corp share common ownership.

>Of course, most exhibitors make more money on concession sales than box office, and a theater receiving 35% of ticket sales on a hit that grosses $700 million fares better than one receiving 50% on a $200 million movie.

The absolute worst days of the year to go is the final weekend of the socal ticket.

Thanks for adding that. I haven't followed how much Disney has spent on other stuff besides movies. They amount of money they burn on SW at the moment makes it very unlikely that they are recovering their investment any time soon.

Fuck me this looks fun, and now I'm sad because it will never be real.

Also, nobody is buying the merch and toys have been clearing out for 50 cents. Not even lego sets are selling.

wtf I love Universal now

>The way Disney has fumbled the Star Wars property is easily one of the strangest stories in all of media. I don't understand how they could get Marvel, Pixar, and their live action remakes so right (from a financial perspective) and get Star Wars so wrong. It's literally incomprehensible to me.
It was a rare confluence of events:

>trump wins 2016 election
>Kathleen Kennedy becomes head of star wars
>TDS is a real phenomenon
>if you want to work on Star Wars, you need to vehemently agree with KK on all opinions

The situation selected for sycophants who were already predisposed to value SJW promotion over a quality mainstream product, and the person in the driver's seat had too much clout for the higher-ups to step in and demand a new direction.

>tfw no good Dice to make 2143

This shit has been literally years in the making.

They thought that their new vision was going to be consumed as thirstily as Lucas' Star Wars was. A combination of hubris and greed gave them the confidence to go ahead with a park which could give Star Wars fans something that no other SW park could.

Then The Last Jedi came out and now nobody cares except the sappy hobbyists who think their manic dedication to a massive, nerdy franchise makes them endearing.

Oh God I just came in my pants.

The majority of old fans dislike nu wars. Lucas prequel Trilogy was not good, but it expanded the universe significantly from which novels and games profited.

Why is it that Jews always look weird?

You know how venomous animals always have blazing, intense and bright colors and stuff?

Okay so for Force Awakens:
Budget: $306 million (gross) or $258.6 million (net)
Domestic Box Office: $936.7 million (Disney gets 64% of this)
International Box Office: $1.132 billion (Disney gets 40% of this)

Rogue One:
Budget: $265 million (gross), $219.5 million (net)
Domestic: $532.2 million (Disney only gets 64% of this)
International: $523.8 million (Disney only gets 40% of this)

Last Jedi:
Budget: $200–317 million
Domestic: $620.2 million (Disney gets 65% of this)
International: $712.6 million (Disney gets 40% of this)

I don't know what percentage they get from Solo, though.

A little overcrowded and waaay too many rollercoasters with heavy theming to ever be economically viable but
>AT-AT Attack Rollercoaster
God I'd kill for that.

They don't look like that though, they just look kinda proto-human, you know? Weird shaped heads, the distance/alignment of facial features is...off, somehow. Also are they all manlets or what?

I was a star wars fan and I never want to see anything star wars for the rest of my life.

They milked that franchise for all it was worth.

shes cute as fuck, i wish rey looked like this

This would be kino.

Because there's nothing fucking there. People want to see Vader and Chewie and R2 in places like Tattooine and the Death Star and the Hoth base, not some random generic nowhere shopping mall sparsely populated with random nobody characters. The Falcon is the only familiar thing in the whole area and that's not enough to tickle people's nostalgia enough to care.

>bright orange jacket, same color one would wear hunting so other hunters can easily spot you

>Step 1: Collect Rose Tico

>Step 3: Profit

I always find this hilarious because TLJ didn't set the box office on fire and then Solo flat out bombed. So ALL of disney's goodwill that they earned from TFA is gone.
So even if they somehow magically managed to put together the greatest advertising campaign for TROS (lol), they won't be able to get a deal nearly this good again.

>that scene in Toy Story 4 where Woody has to walk down this aisle and gets mugged

>let's hire Spielberg's mistress to head the largest franchise in cinema
>what could go wrong?

Man, that interaction sounds so lame.
In fucking SW you could have jedi fights, bounty hunters doing stuff around (imagine a chase with jet pads/cables), storm troopers marching and controlling the people, rebels helping such people when the kids give shit to the storm trooper, weird musicians on the street... but no, they put a retard asking you for help to hide like it was a fucking lame kid game.

>I thought everyone loved Star Wars?
Exactly, which is why no one is going

>The Whill of the Force

The fucking gall of this dude. I need to build the alternate universe device to see these fucking films

why are there 3 negros fighting and one dead beside them? this picture is very lynchian

is whill really worse than midoclorians?

Happiest place on earf

They love Disney, Harry Potter, Marvel and Star Wars, yet they hate capitalism and love communism.

Virgins are the ones who go and watch marvel.

Why did people get so salty over force sensitivity having a genetic component?

I honestly can't tell if that's a tranny.

So many fat people. I though the amerifat thing was a meme

Because it went from anyone can be a jedi to only certain people can be Jedi

If that's the case then give us force steroids

I wonder if the theaters might strongarm them back in this case?

they haven't exactly done well with pixar either. it's severely declined since they bought it.

Coco was pure kino. Death of Lasseter means death of Disneykino though. They seem to want Jon Favreau and his artless soulless garbage running everything now.

we should have known when they threw out all of the extended universe stuff

>Marvel literally builds a 20 film empire off of it
>Star Wars just throws it away

What the fuck has Spielberg to do with Star Wars

It's just Arthur and the minimoys.

I would love this too, but its far too expensive.

you want to come to lancaster

youtube.com/watch?v=i210SmTeEHk

they had empowered women in Admiral Dalaa and diversity in Grand Admiral Thrawn. Basically all the shit they ever wanted already existed and they threw it all away because _____. This is coming from someone who hasn't read any expanded universe shit since the mid-nineties

Phasma sells cause of her design i think. Who the fuck wants "random fat asian girl in a jumpsuit"

BEGUN
THESE CLONE WARS HAVE

B-but qt asians don't age!!!

The last jedi killed all the hype for star wars

pure hubris. they thought they knew better. for some reason they have a big chip on their shoulder about pandering to nostalgia. if they weren't willing to pander, they probably shouldnt have bought star wars.

>but its far too expensive
what do you mean? Isles of Adventure is similar to that. Universal is also making a Middle Earth and Nintendo land that will also have a similar layout. It can be done, Disney is just retarded

The EU had a lot of objective garbage, but it also had some genuinely interesting ideas that could have made for a solid continuation of the trilogy. The Imperial Remnants arc was the obvious direction to take the story after the OT and Thrawn would have been a perfect villain for the big screen without just retreading "muh chosen one gotta bring balance to the force." It also allows for a conflict that doesn't need the entire New Republic to be written as retarded to work.

his kathleen (formerly wife) kennedy owns it now shitlord

>What happened?
1 ride (2nd ride months away)
2 restaurants (selling overpriced, gourmet food and drinks)
4 food shacks. (selling snack foods)
1 store everyone wants to take part in (building lightsaber)
like half a dozen other stores selling everything else (and all at expensive prices)
character actors rare to impossible to see. (and mobbed when they do show up)
long lines

Why would anyone go to a fan fictionland

>he finally buys star wars back
like Disney would ever sell....

>I thought everyone loved Star Wars?

Before the dark times. Before the Empire.

Because right now it sells souvenirs you can't get anywhere else.

Honestly, plan to go to Disneyland/world and take a minor sidetrip into Galaxy's Edge.

Extreme inbreeding.

>perfectly round space port slot for the falcon
>falcon is just the right size for it
talk about unrealistic

I always hated that gay series.

N-no, that was a coincidence. Reminder that The Last Jedi is still the most critically acclaimed film ever made with the best box office numbers, better than any non-disney film. Truly remarkable. If anything, they should promote everyone involved on that film

>what a cruel world
imagine having to do the same dialog for the lightsaber building every 15 minutes, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.

I'm pretty sure you can't put high school girl brothels in a theme park.

Nothing yet.

A failure you can see from space.

Just make the KOTOR games canon and the franchise is saved

Nobody will remember the sequels after the rise of skywalker

thank you, checked the replies here for this

Drake Bell wouldn't live there

>no rides
>just overpriced food and overpriced merch

Seriously, who greenlighted this retarded project?

If I wanted to be stalked by a black person I would go to the nearest Walmart parking lot.

I dunno. Harrison Ford started out as a surly carpenter who didn't even really wanna make movies and Mark was a bit of a whiner as a kid. They were nobodies too.

This.

The plot of Dark Forces (a shitty 90s Doom clone) was more entertaining than anything Disney has come up with.

that makes sense... maybe. its so hard to quantify "cool", right... or mystique, or just relevance idk... that darn ol franchise had a lot for so long because of scarcity , it was like a sub-culture within the mainstream culture. star wars fans watching it on vhs n shit, for years and years. then they flooded the market with sub par products and people finally udnerstood more or less consciously that "not all shiny things are gold" or something and collectively took a step back from the whole thing, the whole aesthetic, that whole world...

what happened? I thought people enjoyed the same fuckin thread everyday?

>(unless you spend more money to buy a fast pass to jew your way to the front of lines.)

I don't even do that just for the rides, honestly. I just enjoy watching the anger and resentment of the peasants at Cedar Point. AND I get a rollercoaster.

Who?

Toy sales haven't boomed since the pre-TFA runup. You can find expensive shit in liquidator stores going literally for a dollar because even Big Lots customers don't want Rose or Finn figures.

The only shit that sells are Kylo and reprints of old characters.

Because the Mouse won't let you go until the time is up. You'll end up eating yourself bankrupt.

That's price per day, multiply that number by the number of days. And you get the total price.

It didn't, people still loved Star Wars despite the prequels and still bought prequel merch by the shitload, whatever you want to say about the movies they knew how to make characters and places people bought left and right.

Oh okay.
Fuck that shit.
