Solo suffers from two problems. One, it's just a mediocre film. One that feels the need to explore every single part of Solo's past (except for Jabba, for some reason), including some dumb reason why he is called Solo, instead of that just being his name. Two, and more importantly, it came out after TLJ. That movie was just so disappointing to so many fans that they are just done with the series. Something Lucas couldn't even do with his underwhelming prequels, Disney has done with just one poor excuse for a film. |
Yea pretty amazing what they did with the new movies. They had the world by the balls after the Force Awakens. Then the last jedi comes out and people are nearly done with the whoel franchise as a whole. It's amazing. Like you said, as much shit as the prequels got and continues to get, they still didn't turn people away from the series.
I always consider a franchise that someone loves like having sex. You may have a bad experience once in a while, but nothing that will keep you from wanting to ever have sex again. The Last Jedi somehow managed to do that. It's like the Last Jedi raped us, and we are now scarred from ever getting intimate again.
