The force awakens grossed above $2B, and the next two grossed around $1B each. Their budgets were around $250-300M. They'll be fine.

Compare those numbers to Marvel and you’ll see what a wasted opportunity they created.

I think you’re overestimating how much money reach marvel flick brought in there were huge but also many that didn’t break 1B WW box office revenue. The big difference between Marvel and SW is that Disney was churning out far more Marvel films especially in Phase 2 and 3 https://m.imdb.com/list/ls040671689/

MCU movies have made $29.1B for Disney (revenue). That’s a lot in my book.

$29.1B for 29 films (technically 32 but Disney has bough marvel only in 2009) vs $4.4B for 3 films in the new trilogy, it doesn’t seem to be that much of a difference overall.

Rogue one also grossed over $1B the only SW box office bomb so far was Solo which grossed just under $400M but Marvel movies also had their bombs too.

Force Awakens had a lot fewer of the glaring plot holes and forced social activism of the second two.
