I'll watch Solo at some point in the next couple weeks, as I quite liked Rogue One and find the idea of standalone Star Wars movies more appealing than endless rehashes of the original trilogy. But we might be seeing more proof that a single bad movie (TLJ) can poison a franchise, even one as big as Star Wars.
I guess we'll find out when Episode IX opens.

I think IX opens to over 200 million again. I think that Solo failed because no one cared. There is no epic origin story like a super hero that is widely known to draw beats from so it lacks that nostalgia draw.
I liked it as a movie though.
