I don't think there's much chance it'll be a commercial flop. But it could certainly be a flop in terms of how fans view the franchise. Abrams is going to have to do something incredible to end this thing on a generally satisfying note.
This truly seems like a trilogy that has been cobbled together as it goes along and they never set out with a clear vision or direction. Frankly, they've already lost me with the story, I really don't know why I'm supposed to care about any of these characters, and it seems pretty clear they brought back Palpatine for the nostalgia factor alone. I'll watch it on streaming at some point but I've got no real excitement to head to the theaters when it comes out.
