    It's May 22nd and I have yet to rewatch TLJ. I seen it twice in theatre.

    For me, that speaks volumes about what I really think of it. Oh, I'll get around to it. But no rush..

    It is May 22nd and I have not even bought the TLJ bluray. Today I watch Deadpool 2, so no Solo in cinema which starts tomorrow.

    I believe Solo won't reach billion. I see it somewhere around 800, with China completely ignoring it. With budget 350 + 150-200 advertising it will be just so-so to pay itself and that would be enough to the message...

    350 million budget? That's way too much. TFA and TLJ had a budget of 200 million. So I don't think a spin off movie would have that much more... It actually would have less. Okay, Solo was reshot. But still...

    It was portrayed in Dark Empire which was from the early '90s but its use was far more sensible.

    It's definitely one of the emptiest parts of the entire film, especially when compared to Luke's test in the cave where it was an actual test of his morals.

    According to Wikipedia (and keeping in mind, it is Wikipedia), Solo's budget was 250 million. But again... that's Wikipedia

    $800 million is a very optimistic projection. The way things have gone the past month, I am thinking $700 million is more likely.

    If that number is accurate, it'll be fun to watch the usual suspects try and still pretend there's no downward trend.

    It sounds that they like deep plots on LucasFilms these days.

    It is about fuel once again ...

    they’ve used it all to burn it all down.

    Sorry... too easy.

    P.s. I don’t know how Solo is going to go. I’m not a BO expert and by far.... but
    I started to think it may go wrong the day they said the presales doubled those of BP.
    Because even tho it looks a good news... from what I understood Marvel movies presales
    (and those of BP too) never were as good as those of the SW movies.

    So, to me, they used BP as a comparison, because using a SW movie would have made it clear there was something wrong. How much, again, I cannot say. Because I don’t know and I don’t think
    someone else does, the actual numbers.

    And to be fair, “if” it won’t do that well, I don’t even think it will have to do with TLJ reactions only.
    That may be one among many reasons.

    But sure the next months are going to be interesting.

    I suggest everyone - on both sides - not to give things for granted.

    I watched it once. I'm not buying it and not downloading it illegally. This is the first for me, but I know that the sooner I forget about it, the better.

    I've only seen TLJ once on December 15. That was enough for me! Though I've seen parts of it in YouTube videos, most recently MisAnthro Pony's new series of critique reviews of the movie. It just reminded me that some of the acting and scenes in the movie are so cringe.

    Yesterday I saw again MauLer’s rant.

    That’s the only thing I will always be grateful TLJ for.

    I love that rant.

    I wanna buy it in blue ray.

    So that every time I will be depressed...
    Pane (brad), Nutella and the amazing MauLer.

    And still people would have hated... "Kylo shouldn't even last a second against Luke." Blablabla.

    To be honest, I wished to see a wise Luke.
    Not not see Luke in a kicking ass mode.
    I believed it would have been far too easy with a man not in his 30es, 40es,
    to make him look patethic, not cool.
    So I’m fine I didn’t see a kicking ass fight.

    Yet my exception were subverted.
    He looked sooooo patethic.

    That's silly. E5 Luke shouldn't have lasted a second against Vader. So why did he? Because Vader wasn't really trying.

    A similar dynamic could have applied here. Something like Kylo Ren being consumed by rage and Luke just swatting him away, not fighting to kill.
