SonicZack 06/24/23 1:25:51 PM #21:	I really enjoyed the movie a lot. I really would like to see a sequel that also has Jabba the Hutt, Hondo Ohnaka, and Boba Fett show up in it. While the comics explored Crimson Dawn in the period between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi (and was quite excellent), I would like to see some Crimson Dawn content that takes place after Solo but before Maul is on Malachor in Rebels. I do think the movie not doing well has nothing to do with The Last Jedi, but being released a week after Deadpool 2 and Infinity War was still going strong at that point too. I personally prefer Star Wars movies to come out in May as it used to be, but because of the box office, it is very unlikely. --- [This Signature Intentionally Left Blank] <cite>SonicZack posted [p:974388454] in Did you li...
