Disney still not calming the F down
- logfromblammo 11y agoI am also growing irritated with the excessive promotion that is not only saturating all media, but also somehow overflowing into everything else. It is almost to the point where I expect that someone will sneak into my home and replace my usual clothing with Star Wars 7 promotional apparel as I sleep. And I also know that since Disney owns Lucasfilm now, it will never, ever stop. The franchise is part of that entertainment black hole that has become a never-ending advertisement for itself. They're going to make this release a success on paper, whether anyone actually likes the movie or not, because they're already contracted to make two more of them, plus the toys and video games.
- talmand 11y agoI like the theory they are trying to recoup the costs of purchasing the franchise off the first movie. Then things may calm down.

- Splines 11y agoOP appears to be interested in scientific papers, and may have stumbled upon it. This is unlikely to be astroturfing and more a side-effect of the recent interest in Star Wars and its associated marketing push.
