Both of his films are horrible and of course he's a bad director for me. And I can say that whenever I want. It's the simplest thing in the entire world.
We're cool now.

"This is a good film but it wasn't for me or to my liking"
How hard is it to say that?

D&D were hired for Star Wars in between S7 and 8. I think their hire goes beyond just making money though.As shit as it was, season 8 of GoT made bank for HBO. Money is all Disney sees when they hired them.
Fixed. And that's what I'm doing already."I tried sushi, and I didn't like it, so of course that Japanese food is terrible for me and I can say that whenever I want."
you're free to say a thing.

Lucasfilm went on a spree of hiring filmmakers they thought were up-and-coming interesting choices: Rian Johnson, Josh Trank, Lord and Miller. JJ Abrams was the go-to steady Hollywood hand would pass the baton to this next crop of filmmakers. Except guys like Trank and Lord & Miller couldn't cut it. The former developed a reputation as an erratic, and the latter duo apparently fell way behind schedule. So Lucasfilm started looking for stability. Ron Howard was another steady hand who could reliably reshoot Solo and still deliver it on time. Then Lucasfilm went to D&D because these guys just proved over the past decade how deft they are at managing a massive film production and doing it successfully. Same reason Rian was given a new trilogy to work on: because unlike Edwards or Trank or Lord and Miller, he delivered his movie on time, on budget, with no issues.
It's also a PR issue. There was a ton of negative press about Solo long before it released, all about the chaotic production. So having a director like JJ and Rian or a producer like Feige and D&D, who have experience keeping big productions like these under control, helps ensure there will be fewer "things are running amok on the set of the latest Star Wars" stories being written about one of Disney's biggest IP.
This world is exactly garbagey enough for this to happen
The Star Wars fandom is in dire need of another slow chase.SMH at them possibly firing the best thing that happened to Star Wars since the OG trilogy.
TLJ was literally the most over convoluted "war" that Star Wars has ever had, and it makes no fucking god damn sense in the overarching Star Wars plot. "OMG we are being chased" is the entire fucking main plot line. Get the fuck over it, people don't like TLJ because it's tone deaf to everything that made Star Wars special. This stupid revisionist bs about making TLJ the second coming of Christ is going to look so hilarious a decade down the line when it'll be remembered as a total chore to watch and overall unimportant blip in the radar.SMH at them possibly firing the best thing that happened to Star Wars since the OG trilogy.

You're right I'm angry, that's why I call everybody that hates my favorite movie INCELS!!!!
Was this supposed to prove that you're not angry as all hell? lmaoYou're right I'm angry, that's why I call everybody that hates my favorite movie INCELS!!!!
Kevin Feige's film isn't an "If" if you asked him to his face
Theres a shift going on over Disney regarding to Star Wars and I dont know why people refuse to see it. People getting fired, films getting cancelled, plans being pushed back...
That said I attribute most of this to Solo's epic bomb but the immature ass fanbase is playing a part. I hate Star Wars and am glad to see it burn.

Solo is only movie that flopped so far. 3/4 were critically acclaimed and boxoffice hits. These are facts tho.Because that would be admitting that the movies that would "save" Star Wars aren't doing so hot with current audiences, and that there's an apathy that's been setting in more and more because said movies do nothing but retread old ground
We can't have that. Can we?
because favreau launched the MCU????

We will see how TROS does, I am betting 1.4, 1.5 bil.
edit: the last theatrical movie before TFA, was TCW animated movie lol. TFA absolutely revived the brand.
Don't know about you, but 1.5 bil for the end of the "Skywalker Saga" is very worrying. This "event" movie should clear 2B easily. It won't.

I agree with this. Where there's smoke there's fire and there's something going over there. A shake up. My theory is that KK is retiring after her contract is up in 2021 (whether "forced" or not) and Feige is gonna oversee both SW and Marvel. Of course he'll have his lieutenants on each side, but he'll be the puppetmaster. As such, nothing is safe and pieces can and will move. Feige will do it his way as he has done it at Marvel. If my theory is true I think RJ's trilogy is gone. Dude is a good director and Ozymandias is still one of my favorite TV episodes ever, but his name is divisive among the fanbase to say the least. He can still direct some episodes for a SW show though.

It's largely two things:Countries outside of countries that had a mature market when ANH came out (NA, UK, France, Germany, Japan) do not have an affinity and nostalgia towards SW. BO numbers for SW in Asia and Latin America are especially bad. I think 1.5-1.7B is probably where TROS will land.
Can Feige fix this? I don't know. It's a tall order especially after the name has become synonymous with sucks over there. We do know that cosmic and space movies can do well like that horrible Chinese flick that did 600MM in China. I also read somewhere that Feige's first love is Star Wars, then Star Trek, then Marvel and DC. That bodes well for EU and Legends being integrated in the canon storyline.

As long as Star Wars is anemic in China its global box office is going to struggle. Divorcing the new films from decades of continuity that Chinese audiences have no nostalgia for might help, but the end of this trilogy of trilogies isn't really the time and place for wiping the slate clean.Don't know about you, but 1.5 bil for the end of the "Skywalker Saga" is very worrying.

Or because the Kasdans threw a hissy fit over Lord & Miller messing with their mediocre screenplay

Eh, 2B is not "easy" for anything. There's only 5 movies total in history that have topped $2 billion and only one of them is a Star Wars movie.
Exactly, TFA brought that kind of momentum.
Had they played their cards right and kept the feel of a Star Wars movie being anice "Event" I'm certain we would be seeing Infinity War levels of success. Even if it meant less movies.
It's freaking Star Wars. Why are we suddenly treating it as if it wasn't one of the biggest franchises?
I'm starting to wonder how much Star Wars fans would have hated David Lynch if he signed on for Return of the Jedi as he was originally supposed to lol.
Apparently one bomb = "audiences don't like Disney SW movies"
Despite them being critically acclaimed and averaging over a billion per film, even including Solo.
