1. Disney cares about the money it makes now, not how much it could have made.

2. The back lash to Solo happened before the movie came out in the misguided boycott. Most SW fans on reddit agree Solo is a good Star Wars movie. Moving on.

1. Oh.  So they must be VERY happy with how Solo is performing then.  Gotcha.  Lol, we both know that is not how a business works.  If Disney, like any company, expected to make ~$1.8B, but made $470M less plus a big drop in merch sales, they are not happy.  And we have lower merch sales and a flop happening, now. Don't be so obtuse just to defend these films.

2. Got a poll of every SW fan to prove that?  Cause what I'm mostly getting is it was a mediocre film, with a few saying it was good.  Of course, with the extra BS surrounding it, I'm not surprised it flopped.

Do you actually have a link where Disney says they expected TLJ to make $1.8 billion or is that something you just pulled out of your ass?

That would be a far lower drop off than what Empire Strikes Back and Attack of the Clones as second chapter's a Star Wars trilogy. 

Actually I am hearing as well that a lot of generic Star Wars nerds enjoyed Solo. It just does not have high appeal to an audience past that. Solo is an old fashioned character compared to more modern type of humor Marvel is able to use these days.
