I heard the same thing.

I’m boycotting SW until Kathleen Kennedy is fired though.

I didn't watch it because the Last Jedi sucked.
Not because of any SJW stuff but because the story was just bad.

You will not hear a single complaint out of me.


Hollywood has had it coming for a long time. Let the SJW filth destroy the movie industry.

Solo had a lot of issues. Putting an unknown with little acting chops in the starring role was down the list on problems.


The whole thing was a shite show from the start when management hired two guys with a fairly improvisational technique to direct then were unhappy with early result, firing them and sending in Ron Howard to salvage the movie.

This.

People keep pushing this idea that people are rejecting it because of what is in this movie.

This movie just gets to be the one that suffers for TLJ.

Hey are over-generalizing to cover their own mistakes.

White males admit a group aren’t in a slump. However, Johnny Depp is in a massive slump yet they keep putting him in tentpole pictures.

We called this on the MTV board a week ago.

I thought JJ Abrams was out. Did they pull him back in after Rian Johnson shite the bed?

I don't think this is really the point. I haven't seen many say it was a bad movie, but they are hoping the box office forces disney's hand to rethink what they are doing with star wars. Solo tanking has more to do with TLJ than whether it's a good movie or not.

Saw Solo this weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed it.


It was shite. Not because of anything other than it was a shitty movie.

They've given this hack a Star Wars trilogy to spin off. He was never attached to episode 9.

Abrams is coming in for Colin Trevorrow. If you believe rumor, Trevorrow wanted to correct some of the mistakes TLJ made but Kennedy was having none of it. She has this blind faith for Johnson for some reason. That guy has done more damage to the franchise than anyone.

It will be interesting to see how, or if, Abrams can salvage this trilogy given that all his bread crumbs left behind in The Force Awakens were blatantly ignored by Johnson when he did Last Jedi.

Add in the problem with either writing out Leia or having someone replace Carrie Fisher and they’ve got issues to deal with. Let’s hope dealing with these issues doesn’t stop the movie dead for 40 minutes like Matrix Revolutions.

Trevorrow split. Probably because he read TLJ script

And then supposedly Rian was asked to do 9, BUT HE DECLINED





No way in hell, was he asked

Didn’t someone on here call this several days ago, that the media would use this as an excuse for Solo tanking?

Lol this place has its finger on the pulse of the media like no other.
