Are Disney getting desperate and releasing too much footage?

A couple of interesting recent pieces, citing respected analysts, relating to how the movie is projected to lose money and why it failed financially.

Solo' Will Lose $50M-Plus in First Defeat for Disney's 'Star Wars' Empire.

Solo’ A No-Go Due To “Poor Marketing,” Not Franchise Fatigue, Analyst Says.

FWIW, I actually enjoyed the movie - by no means perfect, but still enjoyable - say 6 or 7 out of 10.

You could feel the movie suffered from the change of directors and Alden Ehrenreich was better than expected.

The movie was just lacking in something, a bit of sparkle, magic, call it what you will and although Ehrenreich was passable in the role, he lacked Ford's charisma and swagger.

As someone who vowed not to watch the movie after my disappointment in TLJ, overall, I'm glad I did.

I only hope those who boycotted the movie eventually see it to so they can make up their own mind and that Disney see this as a wake up call on how to treat the Star Wars universe going forward - and I don't necessarily mean pandering to the 'nerds'.

Pretty decent video regarding the VFX for the Kessel Run sequence in Solo.

However, the eraly part of the video has some nice tidbits on blink and you'll miss them references and tie-ins between Solo and Star Wars: A New Hope.
