Comment by Dr. Loomis (Cinema Releases May 25 2018)
I loved the original three Star Wars movies, I even liked The Force Awakens and Rogue One but for me that’s more than enough. This current trend of conveyor belt movie making is destroying not just the Star Wars franchise but in time the superhero ones as well.
Anyway I’ll be massively surprised if Solo: A Star Wars Story is not a total turkey, it sure as hell looks like one from just the trailer and let’s not forget its troubled production.
Disney need to slow down and stop trying to milk the series dry and allow enough time for quality stories to be told.
