I don't really think it means that at all. Not that I would mind one way or the other if they do have more female/minority leads, but I just don't see the correlation. If Solo flops, it's because the "Star Wars audience" was/is incredibly angry with the horrendous writing of The Last Jedi, and the way that Disney/Kathleen Kennedy responded to that, which was basically "meh…..you'll go see the next one anyway, so fuck off." You got a lot of people, rightly or wrongly (because I highly doubt it will have the intended effect), pretty much using this movie as a protest against the way Kennedy is running Star Wars.
