| 1) Star Wars blows, Star Trek rules. 2) Maybe the Star Wars folks will learn a lesson from the Star Trek people and not water down the franchise with a movie every single year. It's safe to say that Star Wars fatigue has set in. The more recent Star Trek reboots have been spaced out over a three / four year period, so maybe they'll figure it out. [The Wrap] - "Solo: A Star Wars Story" is continuing to fall fast at the box office, as industry estimates project a second weekend total of just $29 million. On its second Friday, "Solo" only made $8.1 million, a staggering 77 percent drop from the already low $35.3 million the "Star Wars" anthology film made on its opening day. Even when taking out the $14.1 million from Thursday previews that counted towards the opening Friday total, the Friday-to-Friday drop is still 62 percent. As for the weekend downtrend, a $29 million total would be a 66 percent drop-off from the film’s $84.7 million Friday-Sunday launch. By comparison, the last "Star Wars" release, "The Last Jedi," had a drop-off of 67 percent. |

| #8 Read something about the story arc of these and the guy pointed out the place where the plots went stupid. It's the words :"I am your father". Once you threw that in, it's like nobody else in the whole universe mattered; it was only about this family. |

| #6 Funny thing, the more I watched Lucas's develop the Jedi Orders in the Series the more I wanted to see all of those goose-stepping, mind-raping killers exterminated... Go, Empire! |

| #4 I lost interest after the original 3 movies. The Ewoks were our first warning of trouble ahead. Jar Jar was the "self-destruct" klaxon. |

| #2 Adrift was good, a tale of survival on the open ocean. I'm always a sucker for that sort of thing. Er, the girl was pretty cute too. |

| #1 Raj, More like the fans are sick and tired of the cannon and the universe being shit on by SJW and their politics being inserted into every movie. |
