The leading “Yes” in my post was my agreeing with your statement that TPM had bigger names. The rest was in response to your previous post (the one I didn’t quote lol).
Yes, but TFA also had about 16 years of inflation to help inflate its budget vs. TPM. And as it was the first $2.0B grossing film since Avatar, I'm guessing Disney sees it as money well spent, regardless of how some of us view it now..

Holy ****, I just got a $15 rewards e-mail! I assumed the $3 one was for the BBB After Party question, but now I'm guessing this is it. No idea what the $3 was for, as I only had two $1 rewards outstanding...
