This movie might not do too well. By virtue that people want to see new star wars stories, and more about what happens in episode 8. It's like an inverse prequel where the open story has people really excited about star wars again and wanting to see how things play out.
Going back and making a prequel, even one with an interesting take on the star wars lore like this one, could turn a lot of people off on the whole thing since it involves nothing of the new films and we already know what happens.
All in all I'm going to go ahead and say that this film will do good but not good enough, maybe making half of what force awakens made. I'm also going to go out on a limb and say a lot of stupid people will be pissy about the film being a prequel after thinking it was episode 8, despite everything telling them otherwise. It'll kinda be like ant-man I think, a good success but not mind blowing. You'll also have dumb people who see transformers films either excited at all the flashy colors or bored by actually good pacing and dialogue. And of course the dumb crowd who'll say it's good because a not white person was in the movie and did stuff, you know the ones. The same ones who were like "John Boyega's the best part of force awakens" before the movie even came out.
What I'm trying to say is that this film will do good no matter what it contains because the marketing choices ((getting a diverse cast of ethnicities and shoving aliens to the side/having the name star wars)) assures enough people will see it to make it successful, but not nearly as well grossing as force awakens. And I hope executives don't see what would be a normal dip in sales and freak out, knee-jerking and over-correcting for the future.
