Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill, has even said that Disney should "pace themselves."

"'Star Wars' felt rare and special and unparalleled when there were only three precious movies held up as the ideal," wrote Kaila Hale-Stern, a senior editor for pop culture site, The Mary Sue. "These days it seems like we're approaching a time where anything can be called 'Star Wars' if it has the right branding."

CNN: Is 'Solo' suffering from 'Star Wars' fatigue? RollingThunder May 25, 14:39

Or telling stories audiences care about. Solo is a great character, but one brought to life by Ford. -JPV- May 25, 14:40

But don't you see; they have to mine it for all it's worth until we're all completely sick of it. That's how it works! Don't confuse em'! {nm} goodvibe61 May 25, 14:51

I agree with her. I've never been a big SW guy, but it used to be special, now they're churning them out every year. -JPV- May 25, 15:06

Prequel fatigue in general, we want ORIGINAL ideas, characters with unknown outcomes. {nm} skunkrunner May 25, 15:31

which is what's happening in the main saga...though I think some SW fans meant unknown outcomes that THEY want =P {nm} tealfan May 25, 16:17

Yep. {nm} CSBD May 26, 05:29

Is there a franchise that doesn't rehash the same formulas time after time after time? {nm} goodvibe61 May 25, 23:00

Thanks to rian johnsons Jedi movie Star Wars is going downhill from here bunty_ketti May 25, 15:44

Star Wars was going downhill way before The Last Jedi. But Rian Johnson certainly didn't help. {nm} THXER May 25, 16:09

?? How come SW was "going downhill" before TLJ, when TFA became the biggest grosser in US history?? Are you for real? {nm} Filmstardust May 26, 16:38

i enjoyed solo. i want more star wars movies as long as rian johnson keeps his hands off. im anxious to see what benioff and weiss can do {nm} horrorfanatic May 25, 16:53

Petition was started to oust Kathleen Kennedy from Lucasfilm budice May 25, 17:32

Signed. Can't say she improved the haul of TFA, but we certainly know her mismanagment of personal ballooned budgets {nm} Fitch3k May 28, 02:53

Or just the latest victim of sequelitis; in between DEAD2 and OCEN4 {nm} stormgod May 25, 20:49

Memorial Day weekend is where franchises go to underwhelm... {nm} Catzan May 26, 23:17

This is easy: Fans said they were going to boycott SW, and they did. They HATED TLJ and said FU, not giving my money again. {nm} Filmstardust May 27, 07:34

I with hold judgement until the third installment opens. Currently, the latest episodes are in line with the two previous trilogies. {nm} Catzan May 27, 16:48
