IDGI. What does this have to do with JJ "winning"?

I'm guessing they don't want to give any money to JJ Abrams through merchandising... buuut one person isn't going to make much of a dent when the toys are flying off the shelves.

Oh. Then yeah, that's not going to make a difference. At this point, a thousand people not buying SW action figures won't make a difference.

And that's not how merchandising works at Disney anyway.

Star Wars are toy commercials. If you buy the toys, they win, you lose.

So the record-breaking box office sales didn't mean anything...?

Not as much as everything else. The toys make a lot more money than box office + dvds combined. It's crazy:

I wouldn't say they're meaningless, but yes, merchandising is where the huge money is. It's how Lucas made his fortune-- the studio granted him licensing and merchandising rights in lieu of a higher fee for writing/directing. At the time, the studio didn't realize that sort of thing had the potential to be such a money maker... and Lucas ended up with millions.

If nothing else, it sounds like he was a financially shrewd man.
