Saw Rogue One yesterday.

Outstanding, simply outstanding.

Did anyone else notice that a couple of the X-wing pilots in "Rogue One" were pilots of X-wing fighters from episode 4 "A New Hope"?

Wow, never knew they made even more off all the crap merchandise. Not like the original stuff from the 70’s. Same reason a 2018 chevy truck wont be a classic or collectable 40 years from now. The era is gone.

Oh well, going to see the new Thor this week. Yes, my family likes all the Marvel movies, capt america, iron man, avengers, etc...

"Fox let Lucas pass up an additional $500,000 directing fee in return for keeping licensing and merchandising rights for himself -- a decision that would cost the studio billions."

From the linked article (and other's I've read), it seems that retaining the rights for licensing and merchandising was akin to being able to print money.

I believe time will tell - don't underestimate the power of nostalgia. Think of those just starting to drive today and have a longing for a 2018 Chevy but can't afford one.
