  1. Probably because SOLO doing poorly has much more to do with a dull marketing campaign, poor release date and an uninteresting concept that’s best early reactions said “it’s fine but check your expectations at the door”. The fact that Disney has focused much more marketing on their tentpoles surrounding it than the movie itself, overshadowing their own blockbuster to highlight TI2 and IW. It’s the first Star Wars movie where people didn’t even care about spoilers. Prior to TLJ even releasing there were people saying “super hyped for TLJ, but really don’t care about Solo. I may skip it” Maybe TLJ’s controversy didn’t help Solo, but it’s definitely not the main reason that movie bombed. The people boycotting Star Wars at most made up a few million at the BO.
  2. I’d reckon for a Star Wars tv show you’d want some Jedi and Sith elements at some point. And there’s not much of a way to get that unless you involve Snoke or Luke
  3. I don’t think it’s fair to blame DP2 performing less than expected and the Solo bomb on just IW. That movie was three/four weeks away from both. DP2 is holding audiences really well if you look at it as an R comedy sequel and not a superhero sequel. Solo has a plethora of reasons. The reason I think IW affected it was that Disney was pretty divided on their marketing efforts and rushed Solo’s. IW had a normal length marketing campaign, Solo’s marketing was never even given a chance to gain traction. They banked on people seeing the film title and showing up. Film’s can be released close to each other and still be successful, especially if they’re countermarketing. Think Gatsby the week after IM3.
  4. How do you fit those characters in though. De-aging effects would eat up a lot of budget, and that’s assuming you could even get Hamill or Ford to shoot a few scenes.
  5. That’s really disappointing. They’ll spend so much money on these IPs and then do nothing creative with hem.
  6. You’re just describing things that make the movie so great
  7. I have 0 members on ignore right now, I may need to make a change
  8. This is the most offensive thing you’ve ever said to me Please apologize
  9. Are you sure you weren’t watching The Greatest Showman?
  10. 1. Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again 2. Hereditary 3. BlacKkKlansman 4. Roma 5. First Man 6. Where’d you go Bernadette? 7. Venom 8. Widows 9. Creed 2 10. Mary Poppins
  11. Even better, play 50v50, there being like 20 to 4 and the squad pulling the win
  12. Placing second in Fortnite is more frustrating than placing in the 90s
  13. We should make a thread similar to the franchise war thread but just for Star Wars. Force all of the Sequel Trilogy bashing conversations to go there, instead of places like The Avengers thread.
  14. That’s an interesting time frame, it’ll be interesting how they manage to completely avoid Luke, Han and Leia though
  15. Given there’ll be four avengers movies and 2 sequel trilogy movies at that point I fail to see how that is crazy?
  16. And there’s still people responding to this tweet saying he ruined Star Wars and that Solo is his fault
