Chief Executive Officer Brian Goldner says the company made an error by releasing toys too far ahead of the franchise’s most recent movie, “The Last Jedi.” That contributed to disappointing sales of the products during the holidays — a season that was already hurt by the bankruptcy of Toys “R” Us Inc.

“The fact that we began to merchandise the film in September and the film came out in December was just too long a period of time to sustain retail interest,” Goldner, 54, said in an interview. It didn’t help that lots of other toys were hitting around the same time, he said, “with an array of entertainment initiatives coming to market.”

Based on the frenzy over the opening of Star Wars land at Disneyland and Disney World this year, I wouldn’t worry about the cash cow status of the franchise.

Been a long time since I’ve seen episode 1 and 2. I remember enjoying jar jar in 1 and sad that he got killer in 2. I wonder if the me now will still say the same.

RIght, 100% clear. A few lines from a villain with a poor track record on sanity and honesty is 100% clear. Ren offered not proof, not even a shred of evidence. It is just his word.

"Search your feelings. You know it to be true."

...just saying.

Just because her parents were 'nothing' doesn't mean her grandparent(s) were nothing. Also those that raised her might not be her bio parents. Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen would have been nothings by Kylo's standards I would bet. However Kenobi choose to place Luke with them for some reason. Shmi Skywalker would have been a nothing to Kylo as well. She was a slave and then a moisture farmer. Yet she gave birth to Anakin. If Rey was placed with nothings there could be a reason.

That said I am guessing with the grandparents idea. She is a Skywalker more or less and a clone will be involved. I would be fine with her being a nobody from no one too though.

I'm thinking Rey is test tube baby/clone. A hybrid of Luke and someone else (Mara ideally, but not holding my breath). The reflections in the cave were other copies that died young or were not even born. And her 'parents' were nobodies because they were machines, even though her genetic parents are totally awesome.
