I wanna see Star Wars: A Salacious Crumb Story
View attachment 77122
Pretty sure Disney would disagree with your assessment as they count the 1.3+ billion in ticket sales they had for the Last Jedi, they just finished counting the 2 billion from The Force Awakens, and the even the 1+ billion from Rogue One.
I really liked Rogue One. Seems like Solo isn't doing as well. Honestly though, is that what most Star Wars fans wanted? More Han Solo and Boba Fett stuff?
Solo under performing imo very likely has to do with the nostalgia force.
To blame a "nostalgia force" for the lackluster box office is disingenuous. The blame falls squarely on Disney for making the movie and basing it on nostalgia but not getting it right. If the Fett movie goes forward it's almost guaranteed to meet the same fate. Disney needs to make movies for telling a story or a continuation of a story for the sake of the story. Making movies with half assed attempts at stories while pushing nostalgia to fill seats can only take you so far. It also hurts in the long run because once the nostalgia characters are gone (which has basically already happened) you don't have a story to continue to build on.
Don't really see the point to a Fett movie. What's next, "Star Wars Nature Documentary - The Life Cycle of the Womp Rat"?
Solo under performing imo very likely has to do with the nostalgia force.
I think it is more complex than that. General audiences do not give a damn about what Star Wars fans think and whether or not they go to the movies. A lot of Star Wars fans hated Last Jedi yet the movie still made a shit load of money. I think the release date is one of the biggest things working against Solo right now. May was a very bad time to release the movie. Kennedy has been pushing for May releases since Disney bought Lucas and had them start on new Star Wars movies and it has always been a terrible idea. This year even more so. Within the last month we've seen both Infinity War and Deadpool 2 launch. With Solo that is now three major movies releasing within four weeks all with massive marketing campaigns. That is a lot of audience fatigue. On top of that, it has only been five months since Last Jedi launched. So there is likely a lot of Star Wars fatigue going on as well. The movie never really seemed to generate a lot of buzz in the first place and then Lucasfilm goes and spends over $250m just on production. I'm willing to bet that if they had launched in December, like the last three movies, they would have had a better release weekend.
Part of the push for a 4/5 month release cycle for SW movies, is the need to maintain visual presence to help re-enforce tie-in market share. It helps them push all that crap they sling from toilet paper & holders to Legos. Market presence likely accounts for a HUGE amount of income, and they aren't going to jeopardize that just because a movie isn't making as much as other films are. Besides, ticket sales have largely become irrelevant in light of the home video market profitability.
Oh god the fucking star wars fanbois in here. Jesus get over it already.
Solo is ok...3.5/5 I think
Rogue One is their best one yet
Let em make more and more. They'll get some right and some wrong
Y'all think the originals are great, but you really look at them they are kinda shit as well...we just all love them too much to see them as anything else
A smuggler and a thief is not the same thing. No idea why Disney portrayed Han as a thief.
As for Boba Fett, if it is Rated R then it could be bad ass. After all, he does like to disintegrate people.
Yea, because the latest movie is doing so well.
Pretty sure the Star Wars cow is about done milked out now. Should've quit when it was ahead (ie: after the first 3 movies).
All he does is still things as a kid. Then he helps (and fails) at stealing the refined hyperfuel. Finally, he helps steal the unrefined hyperfuel.I'm going to bet you didn't see the movie.
If Han is a thief he may be the worst thief in the universe.
Its time for Spaceballs 2.I'm left thinking of the Disney execs being the space balls crew chanting the word suck, suck, suck over and over again as the maid sucks up audiences wallets
Well who placed those women in power? And who could possibly be responsible for these Cultural Marxist directives?Yet another male orientated film, which the PC brigade can destroy.
I swear there is a plot by women in Hollywood to take all the male franchises and totally fuck them up beyond repair. Just because of petty jealousy.
I'd like to see an adult Star Wars movie - which will never happen. Quentin Tarantino can direct one of them. Maybe the Jabba the Hutt origin story? They can just call it Hutt.
I'm going to take my daughter to see Solo soon. I haven't read anything much about it yet - so it will be a surprise. The Last Jedi was ok - doubt I'll ever watch it again.
Over the weekend, saw Deadpool 2. Nice. It wasn't better than the first one - kind of more of the same in my opinion. That was ok with me. Also recently saw the new Avengers movie. I was not a big fan. IDK, thought it was kind of boring and too many characters? Plus, no Hulk?

So baffling. So, so...... baffling.
Besides, what's the point of focusing the movie on what amounts to a single person? It's a horrible idea as it tends to be very narrow in scope and you're betting all the cards on that single character carrying the movie and the story. One of the reasons I found Rogue One enjoyable overall is because it was more concentrated on the story rather than a specific character. The Star Wars Universe has plenty of stories to tell so I see no point in trying to make a movie about one character with maybe a story attached.
