Star Wars was also doing fine before the TFA. The Clone Wars series was very well received, and most important of all toy and merchandise sales were great. The big profits from Star Wars have always been the merchandise sales. Prior to TFA, you'd still get lineups for merchandise releases.
The toy and merchandise sales saw a big upswing after TFA, but then a massive dip afterwards. Collectors moved away from the franchise after TFA and the kids never really caught on and have been slowly losing interest. To be fair though, it seems like kids are just less interested in physical toys, and are spending more of their energy on online and virtual entertainment.

What. The. Actual. Fata?
It is baffling.
