Be it Lego, TV shows, toys, parodies, EU stuff, just general pop culture, it's felt more alive than a lot of other properties - including Power Rangers. Saying it died is ignoring how another generation was brough into the fandom, and the same. And saying TLJ is a bad film is your opinion, but as a fan of Star Wars lore, as you so call them, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

What crawled up your butt? I just stated the obvious. I didn't call anyone's opinion stupid, unlike you. Yes Star Wars became a merchandise beacon in the 2000's. George Lucas wanted to milk it for all its worth. That doesn't mean the movies were all that great. Plus the toy sales peaked during the Clone Wars TV show. Which was a popular show for the franchise. I didn't get into it but I acknowledge it's popularity and impact on the franchise.

A purely hyperbolic statement. You speak from emotion instead of the objective reality that The Last Jedi is no where near as popular or beloved as The Empire Strikes Back. It's your opinion that you liked the film. No one can take that away from you. But just as there are fans of The Room, at least they can accept objective reality that it's not a good film. Narratively, The Last Jedi is a piss poor film and adds nothing to the franchise. As a stand alone film it's an ok popcorn flick when you are looking to watch bad sci-fi/fantasy. But as a part of a franchise, well at least The Room didn't have anything to live up to.
