#3 Attended a convention near the Disney entrance a week or so ago. Heading east on 192 outside the entrance later on Sunday morning, I didn't see the back up of vehicles I usually observed waiting to get into the Magic Kingdom I had seen years before.

#4 Now mind you, they just fought off a shareholder's uprising on the basis of "we're doing so well". Couldn't maintain the fantasy for two whole weeks.

#6 “And the IP that we’re mining, including all the sequels that we’re doing, is second to none,”

Last I heard it went past 12.5% drop. But here's the good news stockholders. Disney dominated 4 of the top 5 flops last year, so if they only release 3 movies it will be an improvement.

#7 So just how high can they jack up prices to the Disney theme parks? I think we're about to find out.

#8 Watch the re-release of Phantom Menace do better than all three recent ones combined.

Jar Jar. Pod Racing scene. Strange racial undertones. Not a compliment DEIsney.

#9 Piloting a submarine through the center of a planet, with various fish gags, finished with a fish joke. Ugggh.

#10 ^ Jar Jar. AI version of Debbie Wasserface Schultz with better hair

#11 Jar Jar is what I hear when politicians like Hillary! do their Black Revival accent.

There seems to be a bit of a interest in I, II, and III as the younglings have grown up and remember those movies were stars above what it being released now. Little Orphan Annikan flying into aircraft carrier hangers and blowing up the ship? Still better.

Better writing than Phantom Menace. Share with those younglings who are likely too young to understand talent.
