You should see it. I felt the same but actually enjoyed it more than expected. Ron Howard and Lawrence Kasdsn were involved so it has some nice scenes and the actors actually have chemistry too.
It’s a lot better than Last Jedi trash for sure.

Giving us pale versions of these characters, within the context of boring, unoriginal stories, along with boring, annoying new characters, is recipe for disaster REGARDLESS of the franchise.

Nobody wants the same stories redone in a mediocre way. That's the problem with episode 7.
They even went and made a lame clone of Tatooine. For what?? Why didn't they just use the famous and beloved Planet. Did we really need a generic sand desert planet?
A turd, that's what that movie was.

You are not comparing a TV series that people can sit on their arse at home and watch for free vs a movie where people have to go out and spend their hard earned on, or chose to wait 4 months and watch that same movie for free on their arse at home?
... seriously?

Last I checked a $120 a month cable bill is not exactly free.
The way I took your argument was watching to many movies within a franchise (during a short period of time) gives you fatigue regardless if the movie is bad or good. Now your saying that's only if you pay $8 for a ticket? So if all these Star Wars movies were direct to TV there would be no fatigue and they would all be popular?
Imo when it comes to movies, either the movie is entertaining or it's not. If you have a franchise and you keep releasing bad to meh movies then people will lose interest in the franchise and move on to something else. If on the other hand you keep releasing winners (IE: Marvel) then the franchise can stay strong for a long time.
I'm not saying that fatigue doesn't play a part but if you keep releasing really good movies fatigue is going to be very minimal regardless of the time between movie releases.

Not sure what point you're trying to make. The Last Jedi is a terrible movie, no matter if one pays to watch it or saw it for free.

I think I forgot what exactly we were arguing about
I believe his argument for the Solo movie doing bad was they're releasing the movies to close to each other, were my argument was the TLJ pissed off so many fans with a horrible story most refused to go see the Solo movie out of protest in an attempt to get Disney to replace Kennedy as President of Lucasfilms...
Will find out with Episode IX, if it also bombs at the box office I think Disney has no choice but to let Kennedy go.
Just a guess and speculation....

I think it's a mix of both, for me anyway. I didn't see Solo because TLJ was so bad and I just didn't want to deal with another bad Star Wars movie.
It might be fatigue but if people were glowing about Solo like Rogue One, I would have been there in a heartbeat.

I also have Marvel fatigue. I know I'm the extreme minority but I didn't like Infinity War at all. For me, the story was too convoluted, the fight scenes dragged on endlessly and I was just kind of bored through the entire thing.

I'm not watching any more Star Wars movies in theaters. Hated ESB, hated Episodes 2 & 3, hated TFA, hated Rogue One. Really only liked RoJ and Episode 1. (ANH was okay.) No desire to see So Low.
