Let this be a lesson. Don't hire an actor through nepotism when they need acting lessons and are replacing a legendary charismatic and loved character. At least maybe this will make sure Ewan McGregor is Obi Wan if they still are doing that movie

Wasn't Disney expecting this movie to flop in the first place? Why did they have expectations for it?

I remember someone saying Memorial Day is Disney's dumping grounds for movies they expect to fail.

I don't get why regular people care about box office numbers.

So glad the SW fatigue is already setting in. Hopefully this means Episode IX will flop too.

Because it will influence what kind of new movies and lack of movies will be made. Solo failing and Last Jedi under performing is not going unnoticed by Disney and it may cause them to change their plans and what movies will be made and what they are about.

Feeling catharsis over a movie you felt was bad underperform (or "flop") is one thing.

Hoping future installments fail is just... petty.

Well this is a pull, but what does it have to do with Star Wars?

He had "acting lessons" to help him with incorporating Harrison's vocal and body mannerisms. Not for acting ability.

Fucking hell.

So salty over hyping Solo.

@RebelElite791

I actually didn't hype Solo at all until I saw it yesterday.

Maybe if you weren't banned 90% of the time for making racist comments you'd know that.

I actually enjoyed the movie. Didn't regret seeing it

Didn't rock my socks or anything. But i was satisfied


This. But I imagined the bad press is what is hurting this movie big time.

I feel pretty sure if the OT was released today, it would be received about as well as these newer movies.
