Lawl. Disney killing the franchise slowly but surely as the pump more trilogies out. Vote with your wallets folks and wait for reviews before throwing wallet at screen for Ep 9, if you had enough of their agendas, Mary Suing, etc.

(Yes I know it made over $1 billion and is the 8th highest gross and that China never really got the hysteria the west has for it but still...)

Nope, didn't work Disney...
