The movie only stayed in the cheap theater for like less than 2 weeks.
Most movies last at least 1 month...
Even bladerunner was there for the one month.
No one wanted to watch this even for a single dollar.
Did anyone notice at the end scene when Finn opened the drawer to give the blanket to wounded rose, they showed the Jedi books.
Maybe Rey took them and stash them in the falcon or Luke brought them there before Yoda burned the tree
They outfooled Yoda

I think Yoda made a quip about her having all she needs.... Likely meaning those.
Did he leave instructions for what you do with a book because nobody in the Star Wars universe would even know what a book is (or a piece of paper, or a pen.)
Books (and writing/pens/paper,) like buttons/clothing fasteners, don't exist in the SW universe.
My SW friend bought the TLJ BluRay even though he hated the movie (first SW movie/TV series/release he actually hated - he's loved or liked everything else) and says he'll never watch it. He said he needed it for "complete the set" aspect.
The core idea of that article - that fans who didn't like TLJ are the same as the tiny number of racist and misogynistic trolls who have attacked the film on the basis of representation of minorities or women (or even physically threatened people online) - is morally repugnant and the very worst in lazy (we're still repeating the disproven lie that RT was bots?,) corporate pandering, opinion-as-fact, progressive-clickbait journalism.
And are we seriously... I mean seriously... still trying to say that a film that sent such a deep schism through SW fandom has a "tiny" number of detractors? The core tenet of hundreds of these identical (often wording as well as content) articles since December is that something like 95-97% of fans liked/loved TLJ and 3-5% (or less) didn't.
In this article, those who disliked TLJ were: "a small but determined minority" (not just a minority, but a small one) then later "it HAS to be a minority" and always termed "fans" (in quotations in FIVE places in this article.)
But TLJ fans who created hashtags supporting the film were "promoting mental health awareness, diversity inclusion and a sense of positive thinking among the Star Wars faithful." Oh, brother...
The question is: why, if we are talking about a tiny minority of fans (seemingly a few hundred or thousand out of millions of fans,) do we still see dozens of these identical-narrative "support/love TLJ and hate the haters and their hate" articles almost six months after the theatrical release, and six weeks after the home video release? I mean when millions love something and a few hundred don't, doesn't the love just drown everything out by its sheer scale?

I definitely don't dispute it. Wasn't that RJ's intention? I seem to remember seeing some video where he said his goal, artistically, was to make a movie that would divide the audience.

So Rian Johnson’s whole idea with Star Wars is let the past go and move on yet he saves the old Jedi texts? So really he saying let go of the past, but not really because we still need it to move forward?
And you can complete Marine Corps training in 13 weeks.
Easier said then done. Especially for those who have never been.
Yes or no. But kind of. Maybe?

Hey, I seriously dislike this movie as much as anybody. But those books were from millennia ago so aren't really an issue. It isn't hard to imagine that the Jedi order began on paper. There's bigger things to worry about from TLJ....

I get it now. In canon , originally Luke took what Yoda trained him with the basics and then he practiced , mastering his force skills by self training himself for years after he left Yoda. until he was a Jedi.
Maybe Johnson wrote in the script that Rey had the books at the end so she can train herself to understand and become a Jedi

Okay. But you're using the same language -
...so where are you getting your numbers, beyond the same
method you are condemning?
I think the Jedi Books will probably show the original intent of the Jedi....
And what we saw in PT was a political and ideological bastardization of those original texts.
Kinda like modern Christianity....so often modern Churches stray VERY far from the teachings of their Messiah. At least for the New Testament.

They could also talk about the different fighting styles like in the CW series too. There was more than one book
Seems like a strange thing to have as a goal - artistically or otherwise. Wouldn't it be better to simply say you made the movie you wanted to make, not the movie that would "divide" people?
Given the polarized way the world is right now, that actually seems like the stupidest and most arrogant a-hole move anyone could think of.
It's one thing to state that the number of deeply racist/misogynist people out there - the kind who go online aggressively and threaten people - is a tiny number.
It's another thing altogether to say that the SW fans who didn't like TLJ are both tiny in number, and are also racist/misogynistic.
Can you understand the difference?

It's not said, its written. By the Marine Corps.

And as for done - that experience would definitely be far more difficult for some.
Not really. Being an iconoclast is one of the arts most valuable tenets. Im just not sure it’s the greatest thing for a major mainstream juggernaut of a property like Star Wars.
