The answer is never the answer, is it?
There is no such thing as franchise fatigue when you are true to your fan base. I’d watch a Star Wars movie religiously every six months if the quality was equal to episodes 4-6. Last Jedi was so effin horrible that I stayed away from Solo like the plague. I will stay away from Episode IX as well.
Twenty years ago I would have been respected as a fan. Today, I’m mocked and denigrated as a white male by these directors and producers at Lucas. You want my money? Scrub your team of anyone who utters the word SJW, then make movies that are free of your alphabet of sexual orientations and themes, and get back to good old fashioned space fantasy.
It isn’t that complicated when you are willing the face the true reason your sales are in the dumpster.
Soylo was the first Star Wars movie I did not go to the theater to see; the animation movie does not count. As a Generation Xer, I am the prime target for these movies but Kathleen Kennedy and company have done nothing but insult me.
“Last Jedi was so effin horrible that I stayed away from Solo like the plague”
Same here ... for the same reasons.
Solo wasn’t bad by any stretch of the imagination ... especially given how it had to be reworked. It wasn’t great, but it wasn’t awful.
If Ep VIII wasn’t so frigging terrible, Solo would have done well at the box office. Instead, that lousy bitch running the show managed to LOSE significant cash on a frigging Star Wars film (you have to work hard to do that!!!).
I still can’t see why they’re giving that director, Rian “Lil’ Kennedy Bitch” Johnson (or whatever his name is) the keys to the SW universe ... Ep VIII had some cool scenes, but the important stuff, like story, character development, etc., was a disgrace. It was a convoluted disaster. They should have just let JJ direct all three for better or worse ... Rian is frigging AWFUL.
They won’t be getting a dime from me for a long time ... if ever again.
