Hm. I just thought that Solo failed to take off because it was a boring, conventional action movie with a tired premise and mediocre reviews, not because it was supposedly a 'left wing propaganda picture' or whatever. This radical leftist never saw Solo as some kind of ass-kissery intended for me.
I thought Solo was okay as a movie (I especially enjoyed the fight on the "train" and yeah, the bitchy robot character Phoebe whom our many, many socially conservative members seem to hate), but felt that it never delivered on its promise to show us how Han Solo became the jaded character we first met back in A New Hope. That core goal -- the main thing people went to see the movie for -- was sacrificed for a Disney happy ending.
I also found there to be a disappointing lack of humor for a movie about a character who has always had great lines and situations and all that. Well there was humor, but it lacked punch. If to clarify the matter, I never heard even a chuckle out of the audience, where, by contrast, the audience had responded positively to a number of the gags in The Last Jedi.
In short, Solo was all in all kind of a dull movie that didn't take enough risks to be particularly interesting. That's my opinion anyway.
