This past Monday was the three-year-anniversary of the domestic release for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Saturday marked the one-year mark for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and today will be one year until the domestic debut of the untitled Star Wars Episode IX. If history follows, we’ll have a title for that ninth official Star Wars episode in just over a month, with a first teaser trailer in April during the Star Wars Celebration, a behind-the-scenes video during the SDCC next July and then a final trailer in October during a Monday Night Football game. Actually, if you count the Thursday night preview screenings, which are sure to be huge, today marks one year out from the opening day of the third and final chapter in the Rey/Kylo trilogy.
Box Office: ‘Episode IX’ Must Prove That ‘Last Jedi’ Didn’t Ruin ‘Star Wars’

It’s gonna make money one way or another.

Forbes just can’t help themselves. They keep on pushing the narrative that “everyone loved” The Last Jedi, yet they constantly bring up that the “small minority” of people that hated the movie were Russian trolls and/or bots. So the next movie must succeed (which it obviously will) will somehow prove that nobody hated TLJ?
Why is this a story? Does Forbes get paid by Disney to write about this garbage?
