It has at least paid back on the original investment. They for sure have made a profit on the cash portion as I think around half was stock. And I'm not sure how they account for theme park ticket sales as there are other attractions in the parks people will see, but maybe only went because of the new Star Wars sections. Then there's licensing rights to the original films, toys, etc. It's a cash cow and it will look like they stole Lucas Film in 10 years.
While I don't like the new movies, nothing is ever going to be as good as the original. There was also plenty of SWJ type lines in the originals too with princess Leah. They save the princess from the death star and she's nothing but a bitch to Han and Luke. Total 180 from your typical princess being rescued story line from previous time to that film. New one's are over the top, but it's nothing new in this franchise in my opinion.
Executives are terrified the franchise is bombing, before it's yet to pay for itself.

Gannett, the largest newspaper publisher in the U.S., just filed a major lawsuit against Google
Big Tech is woke. Mainstream media is woke. So what does it take to turn them against each other?
One word: Advertising revenue.
The latest cuts followed layoff announcements at BuzzFeed, Verizon, Vice Media, McClatchy, Disney, and Gannett — the largest newspaper publisher in the US.
For comparison, it's estimated that some 5,000 media jobs were cut from the market from 2014 to 2017.

For those who love to see the new Star Wars Fail, there are rumors they are still reshooting with only a few weeks before the release date, Executives are terrified the franchise is bombing, before it's yet to pay for itself. But they don't have the balls to risk SJW outrage by getting rid of Kathleen Kennedy or king of big flops JJ Abrams. Get Woke? Go Broke.
(It might be crazy, but the only one who can probably save Star Wars is a fattie from NJ and his goofy friend).
