Comparisons to “Solo” are particularly telling. That film disappointed in 2018, yet current adjusted figures show “The Mandalorian and Grogu” falling short even of that benchmark. International totals hover around $63 million for the opening, insufficient to guarantee profitability without exceptional word-of-mouth.
With theaters demanding their cut, breaking even requires the film to approach half a billion worldwide—a tall order given current trajectories.

Right - they should have forced her out over a decade ago...it was clear this was going to be a disaster fairly early on in her tenure. The things she said in the initial interview where Lucas was passing the reins to her and she pledged things would remain the same were not true and pretty clear she had no intention of preserving the heritage of the franchise.
Wouldn’t make any difference. Lucas proved he didn’t have any idea what to do starting with “Return of the Jedi”, and drove the point home with “Phantom Menace” years later.
The title of his review....”Mandaborian And Goku - This Movie Is Utterly Pointless”

I’ve seen them on TV so maybe they were edited...but not much different than the Christopher Lee movies of the same era.
It’s a great movie, actually. Anti-woke.
Jon Favreau has open contempt for Kennedy. There’s a behind the scenes discussion about the making of the movie on Disney+. They had a round table deal.
Favreau has the worst poker face I’ve ever seen. They were polite. But Every time Kennedy open her pie hole he looked at her with utter disgust and hatred. It’s actually hilarious.
I do see Disney paid a bunch of influencers and review bombers to hype the movie.
He was good as the bad guy in the second Equalizer movie.
Star Wars is dead. They could have turned it around in 2018 when people were still passionately angry.
Now?
Now no one cares.
That’s worse than anger. No one cares
“The Last Jedi was the last straw for me. Since then apart from commenting on threads like this the franchise has been dead to me. That was 8 years ago now and nothing they do interests me. This could be the biggest thing ever and I still wouldn’t go”
You echo my sentiments exactly.
I refuse to see the last of the Disney trilogy.
And I refuse to give Disney any if my money, nit in ticket sales, or comics, or toys or tv. They utterly ruined a money making machine
“Katleen Kennedy was asked to resign last December and is long “
8 years too late.
She succeeded in killing, dismembering, burning, burying in a shallow grave, p!$$!ng over the grave, digging the ashes up to spit on it and tossing SW into garbage
Star gates idea was really cool.
I’m guessing that you too are a Farscaoe fan?
I wonder if she had anything to do with the Andor series as it was fantastic. I’m assuming not.
