    wow it didn’t even break 100 million over the weekend….. are people getting Star Wars fatigue? Because Last Jedi was crap? Nobody wants to see the side stories or the background history stories?

    No such thing as star wars fatigue. What we are seeing here is terrible stories and classic character assassination fatigue mixed in with toxic ideologies.
