I agree that the 70's originals are the best trilogy, but I'm glad they didn't stop there. If they had, we wouldn't have had the prequel [Rogue One] or the upcoming "Solo" movie. And talking of "Solo", I can't wait to see it, I have so many questions the trailers have thrown up. Do we see what makes Chewwie swear a life debt to Han? What happened to the thing between the loading mandibles? Is this what an unmodified Correllian YT class ship looks like? Will Han shoot first?  Current Builds

Has the Star Wars bubble finally burst?.....
Disney-Lucasfilm’s “Solo: A Star Wars Story” is flying well below forecasts, heading for a Memorial Day weekend launch of around $110 million domestically, early estimates showed Friday.
The four-day figure is significantly under the studio’s recent estimates in the $130 million to $150 million range at 4,380 North American locations. First-day grosses are coming in at about $32 million — including $14.1 million from previews, which set a Memorial Day weekend record.
Should the holiday estimate hold for “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” it will raise questions about franchise fatigue and Disney’s strategy of opening the tentpole a mere five months after “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” debuted on Dec. 16. “The Last Jedi” debuted impressively with $220 million in North America, and went on to earn $620 million domestically and $1.3 billion worldwide.
“Solo” is the 10th Star Wars movie and fourth from Disney in less than four years. Critics have been mostly positive.
At $110 million, “Solo” would be only the sixth-biggest film to open on Memorial Day weekend. Disney’s 2007 release “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End” currently holds that title with $139.8 million, followed by “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Crystal Skull,” “X-Men: The Last Stand,” “Fast and Furious 6,” and “X-Men: Days of Future Past”.
Makes you wonder if the Boba Fett movie will have an even lower impact?
