I don't know. I really, really did not like the Last Jedi. It had it's moments but, overall, I really did not like it. But I'm not playing this game of pretending it wasn't an overwhelming success just because I didn't like it.
But we've seen this game played enough times now to know how it goes. It won't make a billion. Then it does but that somehow doesn't prove it was popular. It may possibly even move into accusations of Disney buying tickets.
But I also agree that, for those who will never admit to how popular and successful it is, it comes not from apathy about Star Wars but from a place of passion about what they feel Star Wars was and should always be.
