Releasing it 5 months after TLJ certainly didn't help solo. I think makingmediocremovie that nobody asked for was the real mistake.
The problem is that it's a hans solo movie movie without harrison ford this was never rocket science. It's like making a young indianna jones theatrical movie.

That was a ten minute flashback lol

Yeah in my opinion R1 and Solo were great concepts for a tv show on D+.Solo was a great movie. Better than Rogue One.
I wish it had been a Disney Plus show because I wanted more and I'm sick of this stupid narrative that it was a bad concept.
Why do you guys continually want prequel shit? How is that interesting?
Hardly anyone wanted a Solo movie to begin with maybe they should admit that, it wouldn't have mattered where it was placed, it basically answered the questions nobody asked.

It is a bad concept. We already had three movies with a young Han Solo and his character arc came to an end in TFA. All you were left with was nothing more than winking at the rest of the canon and explaining stuff that never needed explaining in the first place. It would have been far better off to get a fun heist-focused story that had nothing to do with Han Solo, as you would kept all the good things about the concepts that drove the action sequences and get a far more deserving cast of characters in place of ones that already had their stories told.Solo was a great movie.

I don't think having a ten minute flashback at the beginning of Last Crusade is evidence that people are willing to accept Harrison's characters played by someone else lol. People accepted it because they new in a few minutes Harrison Ford would show up, and there's a level of legitimacy that came from Last Crusade still being a movie starring Ford, and directed by Spielberg.Obviously, but if a full movie starring River Phoenix as young Indy had been made I really don't think people would have disliked it on the basis of Indy not being portrayed by Harrison Ford. River proved you can have Harrison's character portrayed by someone else.
A bit of a shame but it makes sense. We're already overloaded with multiple Marvel movies every year and the more big blockbuster movies that come out every year the fewer we can reasonably see.
I still think if the sequel trilogy movies had been released three years apart from each other instead of two, they could have fitted Solo in a lot more comfortably and people would've actually been okay with one or two Star Wars spin off movies between the mainline entries.
The just kinda rushed into it without thinking about it. We hadn't had a Star Wars movie in ten years, then all of a sudden we had four being released within four years of each other? That definitely needed to be spaced out a lot more, even if only by two more years.

Honestly I feel like this wouldn't have been a bad idea if SW didn't revolve around the same couple of characters/events. The MCU, despite being vastly smaller in scope, feels like a much larger and diverse universe because the huge array of characters. SW still mostly revolves the Skywalkers and the same Empire/Rebellion conflict. For the next trilogy I hope they do something similar to Knights of the Old Republic and set it 5000 years into the future or something.They really thought they could squeeze Star Wars dry by exploiting every piece of the IP to the max. Before Solo tanked they were probably wondering if they could get a movie out of that little box-shaped wheelie droid that zipped around underfoot in the Death Star.
Solo itself isn't even really a bad movie. But you know they were gearing up to release 3 SW films a year using the MCU blueprint.
Thing is, they technically can, but Solo is exactly evidence on how not to do that. I truly believe there can sustainably be multiple Star Wars films each year just like Marvel, but it would require Disney to stop mining nostalgia, and branch out from these same fucking ten characters that we've had since the 70s. That's why Marvel works, they introduce crazy shit like Guardians and Dr Strange as they also give people the Spider Mans and Captain America's.Marvel grows every year and StarWars was heading for deminishing returns because they aren't the same thing. You can do multiple MCU films yearly but not SW
How long do you guys think this hiatus will be? I hope it's not something like 5 years =/
Did you expect them to just skip 8 and go right to 9?The mistake was making a mediocre movie no one asked for in the first place.
You can't make a 350 million dollar TV movie.Should of been a Disney + flick with limited releases
In fact, all those "A Star Wars Story" should be Disney + flicks
That's another issue.

Also this. I liked Solo much more than Rogue One or TLJ and a smidge more than TFA. Loved Glover as Lando.I'd probably watch Solo again before the prequel tril or the newer 2 SW proper.
I never want to see Rogue One again.
It's mostly the initial level of interest in the film being very low even if it's got the SW name in it (you can add the lead actor having to replace Ford, TLJ controversies, rocky development with the directors, etc). Just like the level of interest in the "real" Captain Marvel being low which is why Shazam! isn't doing great at the BO and will be the lowest grossing SH movie from the big two in a decade (despite very good reviews). The quality of the movie itself isn't really important, since I could name several mediocre ones that grossed close to a billion or so and this just prove that worldwide audiences had an interest in seeing them to begin with.
the problem has more to do with TLJ ruining Star Wars to the point that lots of fans just gave up on Star Wars as a whole.
I saw Rogue One, no problem but then after I left The Last Jedi, I was so confused of what the fuck I just watched, it was the same emotion I had after I saw Phantom Menace. I am a Star Wars fan, I am supposed to like Star Wars but this movie made me feel confused because I don't like it.
so after TLJ, I just lost interest in the new direction of Star Wars. That is why I didn't see Solo
