By every metric, the film underperformed.  When the safe bet is, at the very minimum, $750M at the DBO, which would have meant $1.66B WW, but you can't even match that, it underperformed.  Of course, the max safe bet (which is what Disney really wants to hit) was $830M, meaning it would have done $1.83B WW.  Then, when analysts have to readjust their predictions, stating it will still hit ~$1.6B WW, but you still fall short of that, it's just pathetic. Then, Bluray sales were half that of Force Awakens.  And they obviously turned off a big portion of your fanbase, cause they aren't buying your merch anymore.  Next, your film is followed by a flop that wiped out much of the profit you made from TLJ.  Again, a big disappointment for Disney.

The fact that you saw no SJW messaging around Solo shows me all I need to know.  Fans made it clear they were unhappy about the SJW bot in the film, as well as the writer injecting identity politics into the film by suddenly making Lando pansexual.  They were belittled and bashed on social media by Lucasfilm. Lucasfilm didn't care about their fans but rather appeasing other SJWs, which, for some reason, they think are either in the majority or are supported by the majority. Surprise Surprise, SJWs a hit movie, do not make.  Now, you can continue to stick your head in the sand and pretend that SJW politics injected into every franchise won't hurt it's sales, but we will continue to see the results and know the truth.

The robot is what offended people? HA! This is probably the most amusing thing I read all day.

Who said anything about being offended.  They just saw it for what it was, a lame attempt to inject modern politics into the SW universe.  Same goes for Pando.  And they made it known with their wallet.
