As has been said, it’s a really well done film and doesn’t deserve the shitting-on that it’s getting by the media. I think this negative press is fueling the nosedive (see the post above) as people are now undeservedly staying away. It’s a shame because, if anyone deserves firing, it’s everyone who participated in I, II, III, VII, and VIII...

I felt the same way. I exited the theater thinking, "yeah, this movie is good." I started reviewing the film and discussing with my brother and I realized how shoddy and agenda driven it was. I will probably still see IX on opening day because nothing beats seeing an anticipated movie in a full theater but my expectations have dropped. |

Beautiful. I would have clapped for minutes in the theater. |

Marvel has been releasing super hero films on avg every 6 months for the last decade and people are still eating that shit up. Star Wars has expanded the way people hoped it would. A Solo stand alone film is what people have wanted for years. |

Box Office Mojo has Solo taking in less than $3m last night, which is just its second Monday. Rogue One didn't drop that low until its fourth Monday, same as TLJ.
Gotta wonder if Kennedy's feeling the heat. |
It's certainly possible. But I've got to imagine that the success of the previous three films under her watch (fan divide, aside) has earned her some breathing room.
Just like the universal success of The Force Awakens shouldn't have given her carte blanche, one bomb shouldn't lose her a job. But, yeah, I imagine there are probably strategy conversations happening. And I have be believe things are getting tense over there. |

But all of that has been hashed out to death at this point. You could be right. |
The only reason I saw this film is because I have MoviePass. Had this film been about Lando I would have been far more interested in seeing it outright. It would have been fantastic to tell the backstory of Lando. Then, upon rewatching the originals it would make his decision to betray Han that much more impactful. Young Han should have always been just a cameo in another SW film.
A small thing that took me out of the moment in the film:
Spoiler!

If Disney is smart, Kennedy will get removed from her position, in one way or another. She can't get along with directors, which is costing the mouse big money in adjustments and re-shoots even before the movies come out. She also can't keep her politics out of the movies, to the point where that is undermining both the stories and the financial success. She's killing the franchise. A promotion in name only is probably the way to go. |
VII and VIII were huge financial successes.
One underperforming, yet still well reviewed film, isn't going to sink Kathy Kennedy. Everyone will go to see IX and another Ewan McGregor Star Wars film will be a huge draw, especially if Ray Park reprises his role as Darth Maul. |
