As an aside, I do have my own problems with the film. I found it flawed but enjoyable. It's about the middle of the pack for my Star Wars rankings.

To be fair, the week-to-week drop at the box office was quite steep and it didn’t maintain as long as you’d expect. It make a ton of money but fell short of the studio’s projections. I think some people, like myself, came back to it weeks later to see if it improved with some time. The movie had a lot of fun but the pacing, overall plot logic, and character reasoning were poor. It makes up for it mostly but far from a good Star Wars movie to me personally. I do like that they tried to change some things up though.
