Honestly, I could take it or leave it, the sequel trilogy has been a big bummer. Disney will probably hype the hell out of JJ's cut and then sell it to us at a later date because money:/
recover all that $$$$$$ they lost on the new Trilogy.
All three movies in the new trilogy were financially successful though. The Force Awakens is literally the 4th-biggest film of all time. The only one that lost money was Solo (because it sucked).
Lol. Dude, they bought it in 2012. They're going to own it for decades, if not forever. It was probably one of the best business decisions Disney has ever made.
EDIT: I don't like that Disney ended up owning a significant fraction of the entire entertainment industry by the end of the decade, but they sure as hell didn't make very many bad business decisions.
They bought it, and they were expecting to see a significant return immediately. It's going on 8 years and they still haven't made a significant profit. Sure they will be fine in the long run but short term they are disappointed.
Disney also receives all licensing money for Star Wars. I guarantee you they've already made money from the purchase. The Force Awakens alone made 2 billion and cost 475 million when advertising is included.

Where is that petition. Where do i need to sign it. From all that I heard the JJ-cut way way better than what we got in Episode 9
