We'll probably never know how much Lucasfilm actually spent to get this movie made. They haven't done any sort of marketing push yet, so they appear to be cutting those costs. My guess is that's because they expect this movie to under perform. On those terms, I'm not sure it can flop.
But, I take your point. I also expect this film to do poorly.
Yeah, im not saying flop like a surprise ...i expect this one to be a massive failure both in terms of money and art. This budget must be so huge, they basically shot two movies. Imagine all the actors contracts, the other director, the crew...my god.
If its horrible ill be happy this is a massive flop. They could learn a lesson maybe.
I agree with a lot of what he says. Even if its good, this movie reeks of desperation. And yes, a Lando solo movie would have been alright...but a Han Solo movie? Fuck that.
I don't care how disinterested I am in a property, I can't imagine rooting for it to be bad. I mean, I guess if the movie was made by a team of pedophiles. But outside of that...

I’m seeing a lot of people actively rooting for it to be bad in order to shake LFL and Disney up and do brave new things. A lot of these same people hated TLJ and are railing against ‘Ruin’ Johnson writing a new trilogy
The disconnect is massive with these people. They’re not all militant assholes and It’s cool cos some of them can thoughtfully make their points but the majority are just making noise to be heard.
Forbes I have been following and their coverage of Star Wars and TLJ has been totally schizophrenic. Article praising it one day. Next day an article attacking it.
They are a huge money magazine. It would make you wonder what they’re game is. Trying to spook shareholders or what?
