Solo: A Star Wars Story
Discussion
They ran the trailer before Ready Player One last night and it really is painful. It would take some doing for the wheels to fall off Star Wars completely for Disney but I fear they're going to have a good crack at it.
In the UK at least even average reviews are going to see Solo squeezed out extremely quickly, the release schedule in May/June is crazy.

Are Disney getting desperate and releasing too much footage?

Too many potential blockbusters being released either side. In the UK at least even average reviews are going to see Solo squeezed out extremely quickly, the release schedule in May/June is crazy.
We have Infinity War this week and Deadpool 2 a week before Solo hits. Then we have Jurassic world 2 (which based on the latest trailer - looks like it might be awesome) a week or so after Solo - plus the The Incredibles 2 and Mission Impossible and Ant Man in the weeks following.
I think this combined with the mixed fan reception TLJ got (not to mention the well publicised production issues Solo has faced) will severely harm it's box office figures.

It really is in for a kicking. Almost as if this was done deliberately. Aware of its difficult gestation and the backlash over TLJ they are preparing their excuses which will have less to do with the mediocrity of the movie and more to do with the competition.....We have Infinity War this week and Deadpool 2 a week before Solo hits.

So, the news has now broken that Aldrn Ehrenreich has signed a three-movie deal with Disney/Lucasfilm. So, this isn't so much another in-betweeny prequel like Rogue One as the first in a spin-off franchise?
Oh dear! Disney really are throwing everything at this to try and recoup the investment.

Does his story actually need telling. Sometimes less is more. Oh dear! Disney really are throwing everything at this to try and recoup the investment.
Personally i'm not all that interested in fleshing out Han's backstory. It's more appealing to me that he was just a.n.other smuggler who happened to get caught up in the rebellion.
If they start bashing movies out - they are going to have to start inventing new and 'interesting' things he has been crucially involved in, events he has come close or existing characters he has somehow interacted with.

The Maz Kanata thing is a huge hole they could fill (especially considering her nonsensical shoe-horned appearance in TLJ). Unlikely though as the direction Star Wars is now taking is to go the exact opposite way from any logical conclusion.I can't help thinking that at this rate a lot of the Disney Star Wars output is going to end up as straight to home-release fodder.

well they had hopes there.As the bulls
tter guy says, the second spidey had a multiple film deal. If Solo goes under 1 billion, I don't see a sequel, I reckon it'll get 800million.How Many Solo Sequels? - A Star Wars RANT
https://youtu.be/uoh1vKaJvEUthe bs guy makes an excellent point on too much explaining, nothing is going to be left to the imagination and that is the keystone reason why this idea for a film is the colossal turd that it is. It'll remove all the enigma from the coolest guy in Star Wars

Didn't I just make exactly that point a few posts up I reckon $800 million is optimistic. I'll give it middle of the road MCU money - $600 million worldwide (50% of that domestic).

This concerns me now. Before the utterly dreadful Last Jedi was released, Disney trumpeted that Rian Johnson was getting three movies to fOh dear! Disney really are throwing everything at this to try and recoup the investment.
