Supposedly due to the lackluster box-office for SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Now I can&#8217;t stress enough that this is currently only a rumor, with sources citing the usual generic,<em> &#8220;&#8230;with knowledge of the situation&#8230;&#8221;.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>But if the rumors are true? And SOLO is the reason? Well, don&#8217;t make shit movies.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong, SOLO was fun, but overall I was pretty bored. I wasn&#8217;t invested or engaged with the story or any of the characters. There were no surprises in the movie, everything I expected to see, I saw. Nothing new.<\/p>\n<p>And as far as what I expected to see? It was just too much for one movie. Honestly, I would offer there was probably plot lines in SOLO that could&#8217;ve been spun into a trilogy, easy. And maybe that way, you could&#8217;ve given more invested into the characters to engage me more in the movie.<\/p>\n<p>(I&#8217;d go into more detail, but holding back in case someone hasn&#8217;t seen it.)<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s just me.<\/p>\n<p>That said, if the rumor is true, I hope Lucasfilm isn&#8217;t using SOLO as a benchmark. I mean ROGUE ONE went through a similar production history, and I personally loved that movie! My only worry here that if it is true, it&#8217;ll mean I&#8217;ll have to wait wait longer than anticipated for the KENOBI and BOBA-FETT movies.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;sigh.<\/p>\n<p>Currently there&#8217;s no word from Lucasfilm if this is true or not. But as soon as I here something, I&#8217;ll definitely let you know.<\/p>\n<p>So what are your thoughts about this?
