Its less fans then it is consumers in general that won, since Disney was trying to silence the negative response to the film, but couldn't because it was so overwhelming. Fans to be honest made this happen with the non-stop whining about the prequels, and digs at George Lucas. It won't be a "win" for the fan till Kathleen Kennedy is fired.

Has star wars even done well there? I had heard they didn't get the original trilogy so much of the lore and background wouldn't make sense to them.

Going from both Blue, from what I have been hearing, and the article; Star Wars was never big there. The only reason Star Wars was getting so much attention was because The US was making such as big deal out of it. The problem is other then Rouge One these Disney Star Wars movies rely Heavily on the old movie for background, without that? You have two very bland generic confusing Sci-fi movies that don't explain anything going on.

Probably should of done a special screenings of the previous 6 films up in China's cinemas before episode 7 came out to give them background and to hype them up in a similar manner to how George did that with the special editions for the 20th anniversary in order to hype up the then upcoming prequel trillogy

It because the idiots in charge of either Lucas films or Disney didn't think about that. As far as they know everyone knows about Star Wars, and loves it. So they can churn these out once a year at least, and don't have to worry about the quality because these thing are money makers no matter what one does to it.

Sorry to disappoint you but from what I hear that's a dream he imagined of what his life would have been like if he had never been a jedi. The girl in question in some girl from Tatooine that he was friends with as a kid.
