For the life of me, I can't figure out how Johnson is still at the helm of a new trilogy after he wrecked Star Wars for half the fan base. I understand many people like TLJ, though I have no idea how, but even they have to realize maybe it would be best for Johnson to step aside for the good of the franchise. Yet Kennedy is asleep at the wheel or just hell bent on running Star Wars into the ground.



When Solo has a $75 million opening weekend, that's when they'll finally have to admit they're fricked. While Deadpool 2 is getting some initial bad rumors, I'll gladly pay for that one its second weekend in hopes it outgrosses Solo. I will not be seeing it in theaters.

The biggest climb that Disney faces now is that they are running off the old fans by pretty much telling them to frick off and making movies bad enough to not gather new fans at the same pace they are losing old.

Star Wars was THE franchise in the late 70s and 80s. Fans were hardcore and grew up loving it and were very loyal to the brand. Now, the new Star Wars is one in a handful of franchises and kids have the attention span of a nat while not being loyal to any one brand like then.
