Compared to that Solo just failed that, no Empire or barely, no "Star Wars humor" (I know this is a bit odd). Again the only scenes that felt like that were Chewie scenes and Millenium Falcon.

http://collider.com/star-wars-spinoffs-on-hold/ This is why Disney trying to make Star Wars like Marvel was doomed to failure. Marvel is different worlds, characters etc. Star Wars is too narrow and trapped in a corner called The rebellion. And when potential directors tried to re-imagine or wanted to started new story lines Kennedy fired them. | ||

Also, Solo without Ford was what doomed that movie. He is that entire character. And because he is to old and grumpy to play the part, that movie was never going to hit. | ||

More financially troublesome, I hear toy sales are far below expectations recently. | ||

And from all report, the three Rian Johnson movies are still in production. And the other set of unnamed movies. They just shut down the prequel style movies that would be like Solo and Rogue One. Which is a good move, IMO. | ||

The spinoffs are getting somewhat tiresome, true, but that wouldn’t make a difference if there wasn’t a perception that there was more money to be made off of poorly conceived projects. | ||

I think it might be because the Star Wars universe has been completely over-saturated with movies, books, TV shows, and video games that all established this expansive world with rich history, past empires, great wars, major characters... and Disney chose to ignore all of it and focus on the most boring part of all of Star Wars: the original movies. They're just running in circles around death stars, desert planets, and the skywalker family. If it were up to me, I would have set the new movies during... say, the Mandelorian wars. Or the Bane trilogy. There is so much rich story potential with Star Wars but Disney just had to tear the original cast out of their retirement homes and dump them onto the screen for short term profits. | ||

It looks like they are banking pretty hard on Star Wars fatigue being the reason for Solo struggling by putting stuff on hold. I still have no idea why they released it in the middle of the summer after three consecutive years of December releases, but better minds than mine I suppose... | ||

Edit: I would have asked "who are you responding to?" but you've said not addressing anyone in particular, hence my confusion | ||

What I'm saying is that there's too much politics in movies nowadays and its used to attack people. Im more of a left leaning person and even though I refuse to be labeled a lefty simply because I see left and right as labels that prevent people from having meaningful conversations, I still dislike the new SW movies. Yet Im constantly bombarded by lefty media/people that I should like it because of the political messages its trying to send. Well fuck that, not everything is or should be about politics. | ||

I somewhat agree. No movie can completely be free of political agenda and even the OT took a strong point against totalitarianism, centralism and partly justified violence for a good cause. Ofc especially the latter goes basically for every action flic though. That being said I am one of those ppl who think that the way humans treat livestock tells a lot about how human humans are and even I thought that the animal protection message in TLJ was needlessly heavy handed, simplistic and lecturing. I don't mind if a movie explores concepts and thought TLJ did some things right with their "everything is grey" logic in some areas of the movie, but whenever they left the grey and took position they did so with the subtlety of a Rhino in full charge. | ||

Kind of I guess. I personally dont mind these messages when they dont overshadow the story, even if they are not subtle. However the new SW movies, as LegalLord says, dont stand on their own as cinematic work. So when they are criticized as such, there's bound to be a political divide. And its not just SW, its pretty much every movie nowadays. Its ridiculous and its mostly because few idiots on both sides of the political spectrum are too busy using any form of art nowadays to fight over their political bullshit ideas. | ||
