Star Wars will indeed move on without those who are stuck in its past.
Agreed, they definitely diminished their audience/fan base size.

"Proof"
Solo will still turn a profit on DVD and streaming, and Star Wars will indeed move on without those who are stuck in its past.
I don’t know if they really did that, I think you have a new generation that likes the new ones. There is nothing wrong with that.Agreed, they definitely diminished their audience/fan base size.
My teenage ds liked Solo a lot. In fact the other day he mentioned he didn't understand why it didn't do better. I should note he's a kid who does not follow any social media from their fan base or anything like that, and isn't a megafan of the franchise, he just likes the movies like a "normal" person. It wouldn't be surprising if this is more the demographic they are going for in the future.I think Disney is less concerned with the aging OT fans then they are the newer, younger fans. The aging OT fans didn't much care for the prequels either, but a whole new generation did. My own kids like the OT, like the prequels, they are ok with the new trilogy though they didn't care for VIII much either. My rather precocious 9 year old daughter was complaining about the idiotic plot. But my kids love Clone Wars and Rebels. Lots of ways to reach the next money spenders. You don't really want to abandon the old money spenders, but given a choice, I think Disney is more interested in the younger set than the graying beards.
I think it's naive to lump everyone into being "stuck in the past" who don't like the direction of Ep VIII and that Star Wars will somehow gain lots of new fans due to it. There's rumors that they've already cancelled Rian Johnson's other trilogy.
It's a hundred million in the hole...hard to see DVD and streaming making up that gap."Proof"
