For frame of reference, that would be about $600 million ahead of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story's $1 billion gross and about $400 million behind the most impressive $2 billion haul that Star Wars: The Force Awakens pulled.
The Force Awakens and Rogue One have washed away the bad memories George Lucas's prequel trilogy; however, there appears to an undercurrent of unrest in the Star Wars universe.
