Any predictions as to how TLJ/Solo/IX will affect Theme Parks?

Disney needs to take care that they don't damage the Star Wars brand to the point of hurting their theme parks. I am referring specifically to the Star Wars Land extensions, of course. That would be some serious financial loss there above and beyond any potential lost film and TV revenue. I'm sure they don't want another Paris Disneyland on their hands. There's some serious power and money at stake here and Episode 9 can't afford to fail. That's why Kathleen Kennedy and her head may be metaphorically parting ways at some point in the near future. I suspect Madame Guillotine will be tasting Rian Johnson's neck shortly as well.

There are people who also hate JJ Abrams and he's still around.

If toys and merchandise aren't selling because of the bad movies, then it could effect the parks also. Disney is over-saturating the market with mediocre Star Wars films and future TV series. I don't think people are sick of SW yet, but it could happen.

They want it to be like Marvel with 2-3 movies released every year, but I stopped watching most of them because I'm bored. I know other people who have done the same.

There are some fans talking about a full Disney boycott. I think they're still in the minority though.
