LMFAO....Star Wars was not brought to its knees.....Rogue One did well, people hated The Last Jedi which did NOT really under perform because characters were written so out of character...The only movie that even halfway under performed was Solo and that had more to do with NOBODY wanting a Solo film.... You morons didn't do jack, Star Wars was meant to be "special" not a series that pumps out 2-4 films a year and THAT is what Disney learned

@Deadpoolio
Solo slightly underperformed??? LOL! Damn you are misinformed. Solo lost over $80 million and that was a direct result of fan backlash to TLJ which was predicted to come close to $2 billion but did just over a billion, $800 million less than predicted. Disney's Star Wars experience is a ghost town and episode 9 is set to do worse than Solo. Please dont comment on things you know nothing about sunshine.

@annoyedgamer

Relax, female bond is only there so that male bond can bone her.

@Deadpoolio,

Remember when Star Wars movies were released and people went crazy for all the merch as well? Now I walk into any toyshop or toy section and see all the same merch sitting because fans don't care about Disney Star Wars. Why is that?

Make the excuse nobody wanted a Solo film, one of the most iconic characters in the SW. When the idea was pitched and info leaked there was a massive buzz around it. Then the last Jedi happened with Rian Johnson basically attacking anyone who didn't like his movie. Yes, there are overzealous fans who do and write stupid nonsense to whoever works on the film and screw those kind people. They exist in all fanbases regardless of SW. Yet I didn't really like the Last Jedi, didn't vent any issues to him or the cast online via twitter but I am somehow a misogynist that hates female lead characters.

You say Star Wars is meant to be special and Disney learnt, that's quite funny because it was special and Disney tried making it an annual thing but was met with backlash because they can't hire someone to write a half-decent story with all that money they have with a bland new cast. I wonder what another original SW character from the Lucas era they will shoehorn in to get more bums on seats? At this point, Jar Jar has more depth and character than Rose, Kylo and Rey put together.

Meanwhile, Disney Marvel can release multiple superhero movies in a single year all connected to one other, make money and still keep a majority of comic book fans happy and casuals alike. Disney simply hired incompetent and the wrong people to head SW. It will still make money, but it is far from what it was and can be.

"Jasmine Bond"?

Yikes, your sexism is showing. A woman is just as capable of being JAMES bond as any man, even more so Sweety.

"A woman is just as capable of being JAMES bond as any man, even more so Sweety."

No they're not, James bond has always and always should be a Male.

Why not just create a spin off instead of try to change established characters?

You do realise that the industry is down 6-7% year on year right? That means even with End Game and Spiderman the industry still lost over $1.2billion year on year with predictions pointing to things only getting worse. Do your research son

Captain Marvel is a decent film? Lol!
So I guess reports of beta males watching the movie over 100 times with one soy boy setting a world of 146 viewings and the fact that it was between IW and End Game had nothing to do with its success right? Sorry Captain Marvel is trash. Have you ever wondered why there is so much talk of Captain Marvel being in several Marvel movies yet no mention of a sequel yet? Just saying.

Captain marvel was a incoherent mess. Bad acting and a stupid story....even for a comic book movie. Bad guys no one cares about. A main character who has been pretty much absent from comic book fans minds for God knows how long.

I wouldn't call it a terrible movie, but it wasn't a great comic book movie like some said, and the actress playing captain marvel wasn't very good. Nothing wrong with her being a woman....I mean, the character was a woman, so I wouldn't want them to change it. Just that others decided to make anyone who had a negative opinion of the movie into people who were sexist, even though those same people would say that some of the other Marvel movies sucked too. We don't see people praising Ghost Rider, Green Lantern, Batman vs. Superman, or that one Iron Man movie when they are only decent or bad. But, put an incendiary political slant on it, and Captain Marvel gets praise where it isn't deserved. It's just like what happened with Tomb Raider when Lara was suddenly a strong character because she overcame an assault.

Captain Marvel did well because it introduced a character into the marvel universe. Same reason Black Panther did well, and it was worse than Captain Marvel. Black Panther actually did better over it's theater run.
