Rey should Turn to the Dark Side in a New STAR WARS Trilogy

I suppose that is a fair assessment, but it seems more to just say that everyone struggles with both. 

The silliest thing to me is that good finally wins Vader over in the end, but after committing genocide and a bunch of other atrocities. 

Episode 9 should have ended with Rey turning darkside if episodes 10, 11 and 12 were going to have that plot. Her kids would save her or something.

That's not the exact truth, yes the Rey Saga as it were was a diminishing, and significantly so series, I mean they lost almost half the audience they started with, and TROS being a financial hit via box office alone is unlikely when you factor in the cast's bonuses they get once the films reach $1b, that being said they still have a HUGE audience most franchises would kill for, so it's like maybe a dark Rey trilogy could work with a hugely reduced budget and marketing push, but then that could also hugely hit their box office, so maybe just scale back on production, you know $130-150m instead of $250-300m then $1b would be hugely profitable.

But then you have to factor in on average they are spending $175m per movie on marketing, $250m on production, they only get about 47.5% I think it was of the overall box office, they spent I think $100m on the Mandalorian and how many hundreds of millions if not billions on making Galaxies Edge, so each film is costing an average of $425m, which over 5 films I think they made just over $5.9b, but at a cost of $2.125b and they only kept about $2.8b out of ticket sales, so box office wise they made less than $700m over the 5 films, they did make their money back though in merch sales, that's the key, even declining numbers had them making over I think $1.5b for 2018, and over $3b in 2016 with 2017 coming in around the middle of those 2, so yeah just merch sales for 2016-18 they made like $7b, though keep in mind Lucas I think gets 10% off the top of anything they make also or something like that...basically it's all a lot more complicated than what you are making it out to be but Disney has recouped the expense of buying SW, they maybe just haven't turned a profit on the cost of making everything else to do with it at this point because none of that includes salaries of people behind the scenes, back end payments, residuals, percentages, bonuses and other such stuff.

It accounts for a bigger audience, which means higher potential, obviously they would need to actually make good movies, they cannot skate by on nostalgia anymore, but lowered production and marketing cost to the point of maybe a $300m cap puts them in profit at just over $600m box office, rather than the $900m-1b+ break even point these movies have had.

Yes Solo bombed but that's also in part due to just how mishandled that entire endeavour was, redoing the entire movie after other people completed 90% of the production, poor handling of the script and the character, idiotic placement of the movie on the release calendar and so on.

A smaller scale SW film about a Dark Rey could work and be a big hit, but it would have to be a good movie, something the sequel trilogy failed to be, but as we have seen with The Mandalorian if you make a good SW product the fans will swarm to it, key is making it a good product however hence why I said could work and not would work.
