Denial is not a river. How about Kathleen Kennedy and company have given the middle finger to Star Wars fans and the fans have said enough is enough. Nobody was clamoring for a Solo movie as if Harrison Ford can be replaced. Now there is suppose to be a Boba Fett movie about a character who had 4 lines of dialogue. Whatever one thinks of Lucas he created and inspired an expansive Star Wars universe and the only ideas Kathleen Kennedy can come up with are stand alone movies about Soylo and a secondary character. Except for Rogue One not one of the Disney movies have I felt I needed to see multiple times.

Seen it, its flopping not because of itself, its marketing etc, though its a pretty meh movie.. it is failing due to the fan base pretty much being angry about the last mainline movie being so awful and deciding, we’ve had enough...
Period.

It is like a CYA statement from the DNC: We failed because we just didn’t get our message out, and not because people rejected our message.

Ha ha! Maybe it was the actual marketing and the hype about the actual content, plus the current negativity about Hollywood liberalism in general.
To: C19fan
The Star Wars franchise has become completely SJW converged.

They’ve had all these years to try to make another movie close to as good as Empire, and it ain’t happening.
I quit going to Star Wars movies several years before I quit going to theaters altogether.

They’ll never admit it’s because of Last Jedi.

Well I enjoyed it. It was basically a space western, replete with a train robbery.

They can thank Mark Hamill, too, for telling half his audience he didn’t want them coming to see Star Wars.

The title sucked. Should’ve called it “Millennium Falcon”.

The only “fatigue” that can be pointed to is the social justice character Lando Calrissian.

The movie itself was actually pretty good; especially compared to The Last Jedi.
They could have cast the Han Solo part better I think but I don’t know what talent pool they had to pull from.
Could just be bad timing. If it had debuted before Last Jedi then it probably would have done just fine.
Hollyweird needs to lose the SJW crap they have been feeding us. Only a tiny percent of the population identifies with it; the rest resents it. People will go out of their way to see movies for free rather than feed the SJW monster.

I will confess that the first I heard of the movie was when I heard it was bombing at the box office. So I’m at least one person marketing failed with.

This could be very bad for the brand. It reminds me of a wife who decides one day that she’s had it with her husband’s antics and simply doesn’t love him any more. Unless she has some strong religious reason for sticking it out at that point, the marriage is over.
This could destroy the relationship between the Star Wars brand and its fan base - Once and for all.

Solo A No-Go Due To Poor Marketing, Not Franchise Fatigue, Analyst Says I won't see it because i'm tired of "Girl Ghostbusters in space."
Sick of the uber feminine Social Justice Warrior crap, and moral relativity.
