Consider a film's marketing budget and the current RT fan score and how many ratings popped up as of yesterday. Now consider that huge marketing budget against the fact that Disney could buy out only 30 seats at early afternoon showings at as many theaters as ssayyyyy.... even only $60,000 could buy them. Think about how many shill reviews that converts into from their marketing department. Rotten Tomatoes is a gigantic industry lie.

Now consider the "critics". Many of those critics took what was basically a political messaging position on TLJ. This movie disregards TLJ. So by proxy they "have to" support their initial review for "integrity" and trash this one. "Have to" as a function of being certain kinds of people.

I am sorry, but I don't buy it.
Unless Disney ruled by fanatics, which is unlikely, since they've back pedaled on a lot of TLJ stuff, I don't see what they can get from allowing to **** on their own movie and losing colossal money and reputation in the process.
It's a definition of shooting oneself in a foot.

Besides, it does nothing to make TLJ better in the eyes of people who hated it. It just validates their opinion that people in charge of TROS inside Disney also hate TLJ.
