I hate math. But for years I have used it for the biz. I see no impact on the trilogy by these fan boy issues. Had TLJ made 500m, I would

agree that there should be concern for 9. Rogue and Solo are different projects and indeed Solo's peformance is concerning but there are other factors there than just fan boy considerations. 8 did not overperform. It did not underperform. Until we have trailers and get closer to 9, there is no evidence to indicate that 9 will do anything but follow the previous two trilogy's patterns. All the gnashing of teeth and promises to deep six 9 mean nothing. If nothing else, I am more certain of 9 simply because folks are gonna be curious if 8 was just all a bad dream. LOL

Col: Lucasfilm has decided to put plans for more A Star Wars Story spinoff movies on hold [SWAR3] Antibody Jun 20, 11:43

those who were working on Obi-Wan Kenobi are no longer involved {nm} Antibody Jun 20, 11:44

It makes perfect sense. Han Solo was infinitely more popular and "his" movie bombed. And there's no good release spot for at least 3 years {nm} tomcat90 Jun 20, 11:48

Good move putting the brakes on for now. Nothing wrong with taking a breath and regrouping, not that the franchise anywhere near peril. {nm} RollingThunder Jun 20, 11:50

It's because HFORD is Han Solo, not Alden Errr. {nm} Antibody Jun 20, 11:52

Fans who grew up on the prequels still see EMCGR as Obi-Wan. {nm} Antibody Jun 20, 11:53

Alec Guinness...a better actor and better Obi Wan... =) {nm} Catzan Jun 20, 13:29

he was fine. it was fun. {nm} slipping jimmy Jun 20, 14:06

When will hsx increase position potential beyond 100,000 or 20,000?Even a monumental announcement like this can only add 18 mil . {nm} mxwizard1 Jun 21, 03:55

Start with never, then count backwards daily. {nm} pennystocks2 Jun 25, 16:41

I`m definitely not surprised to hear this. Now hopefully they will kill Rian Johnson`s trilogy too {nm} Randy Jun 20, 11:56

and fire Kennedy. {nm} RazorHawk Jun 20, 11:59

Fingers crossed. Honestly that would bring a lot fans back on board for Episode 9. {nm} Randy Jun 20, 12:04

until they start hating the next person =P {nm} tealfan Jun 20, 12:14

yup. you know what they say, haters gonna hate {nm} Moviesnob Jun 20, 12:18

this. {nm} CSBD Jun 20, 12:47

LusacFilms under Kennedy sowed division and hate for the fans and OT, they reaped what they sowed {nm} Baron_Darcon2017 Jun 20, 13:04

$4 billion dollars {nm} slipping jimmy Jun 20, 14:30

Should have been $8+ billion {nm} Baron_Darcon2017 Jun 20, 14:46

$16 billion! {nm} Moviesnob Jun 20, 15:47

I think the return of JJ Abrams and more focus by the overall team on Ep. 9 will make a big difference compared to TLJ {nm} tomcat90 Jun 20, 12:43

I don't think 9 will do as well as 7. Very few movies behave like 7 did at the box office. {nm} Moviesnob Jun 20, 12:45

I agree. STAR7 was a perfect storm of factors. But Abrams is much more adept at handling the franchise than Rian Johnson was, so I expect a tomcat90 Jun 20, 12:49

#9's likely gonna perform like the 3rd film in a SW franchise, not because its JJ over Rian. Most people have no idea who either of them are {nm} Moviesnob Jun 20, 12:57

And I think there is a better chance of us saying "I told ya so" when that happens than 9 crashing and burning. =) {nm} Catzan Jun 20, 13:09

i tend to agree. "Fanboys" are much smaller than people think and I believe it actually fluctuates between films. The general audience Moviesnob Jun 20, 13:27

Anecdotal, but I was talking with an SW fan friend a few weeks ago. He hadn’t heard of the TLJ “controversy” and I had to explain what a SJW RogerMore Jun 20, 18:38

thanks for sharing your level-headed-as-usual insight {nm} Moviesnob Jun 20, 21:17

Few fans care about the new chars., nostalgia is gone, 40 years of goodwill devalued and destroyed. IX will play like Soylo. {nm} Baron_Darcon2017 Jun 20, 13:12

I disagree. Hundreds of millions of $$$ say differently. But neither of us will be convinced until tracking comes out. Even then, until Catzan Jun 20, 13:26

I disagree as well. Disney has an overall fantastic track record, peppered with just a couple of misses. Solo was dated too close to tomcat90 Jun 20, 14:20

"Soylo" marks someone who pines for good old days that never existed, wallowing in intolerance, ignorance and stale thinking. {nm} DTXbro Jun 20, 15:13

DXTbro if you T level is so low Soylo upsets you, you probably should see a urologist, the {nm} Baron_Darcon2017 Jun 20, 16:44

Just virtue signaling, like most leftists hypocritcal snowflake to the core, don't want diversity of opinon, just echo depravity. {nm} Baron_Darcon2017 Jun 20, 19:46

Can we please ban this Nazi? He's driving away actual human beings. {nm} CSStrowbridge Jun 21, 02:45

Trying asking some regular folk why they didn't see Solo. You'll be surprised to hear they've no idea who KK or Rian Johnson are {nm} numbersix_99 Jun 20, 15:45
