Re: Sooo...anyone heard of anything good coming up?

Didn't the Carry On titles perform well ? - and let's not forget the made in Australian Shadow Of The Boomerang and Journey Out Darkness.

To be fair, of the trilogy it is by far the hardest poster to source.
The other two seem to come up quite often but not this one...

Re: Terribly-timed movie releases (like Solo)

Sadly Solo (which I saw for the 2nd time last night) was punished by the fans for the shambles that Disney has made of the two sequels.

I frequent a fair few Star Wars forums/FB groups and some pretty well organised mass boycotting took place, along with blanket trolling/poor reviews from those that haven't even seen it.

Its a shame as the two 'stories' (Rogue and Solo) were both bloody good and by far superior to any of the prequels or sequels.

It's not just the bizarre path that the sequels took that upset the die hard fans, but also the shambles of merchandising (or lack of it) and when it finally appeared on shelves the fans had already forgotten the movie, unlike the original trilogy where you couldn't move for mountains of Kenner carded goodness lining the isles of every toystore.

Disney had a tried and tested formula (even a guide of waiting 3 years between movie releases) to work with and a mass of expended universe novels to pull material from. Sadly they went with an overly PC Disney/Marvel movie approach which was never going to end well with millions of fans who've had a massive 'buy in' to this franchise for 40 years.
