Or rather people are tired of having a Star Wars movie every single year, the box office performance was always going to plummet after force awakens. It was the first Star Wars movie in ages, now a new Star Wars movie is just becoming the norm, it's not an event. TLJ was bad though. |
The yearly thing is just a poor excuse, though. Marvel has been pumping 2-3 movies a year for the past 5 years or so, yet every sequel performs better than the last. The difference? Marvel tries to stay out of the political crap. Even if they dabble in it a little, its very general things that most can agree on and, more importantly, they don't shit all over the fans who actually got them where they are when they don't agree. They also don't try to shit on the characters, either, which is nice.
What I see happening with SW is the exact same thing that happened with the Ghostbusters remake. The only difference is that instead of pushing the political agenda first, and making a poor film, Lucafilm/Kennedy made TFA first to rope us in. Wasn't the greatest film, but it was decent and got us looking forward to more, where some of the issues in TFA could be addressed. Then, after they had a hold of the fans and a pile of cash, they started pushing out their agenda into the lore (the Force is female) and films (TLJ and, now, Solo), either through the script or social media. As expected, many fans are not accepting it.

Well, technically they are saying that Lando is a pansexual. But, I still agree with you.
