Yeah it is isn't it. So many characters just in pants and top of some form or another.
Big fur coat really stands out as different.
He could be in Fight Club.
Too bad they cut the line off without doing more. I just re-watched this film. It's got more replay value than even Rogue One (which I loved) because it's got a great mix of drama and lightheartedness. It really feels like Star Wars and the musical score is great too.
A pity it came out at the wrong time and remains under-appreciated. I think in time that may change.
Yeah I'd say so too. People were so pi$$ed at the ST, they took it out on Solo. I admit I wanted to send Disney & KK a message that the crap they were serving up was just not Star Wars.
But all I hear now is that people like it. Most certainly the majority more than the ST. So I'd say the chances of a sequel either on the big screen later or Disney+ is pretty high.

Solo bombed in retaliation for the abomination that was TLJ, period. If you take L3 out of Solo it instantly goes from 5.5/10 to 7.5/10. I enjoyed the movie enough that if HT made Beckett and Qira tomorrow I would still buy the figures. As it stands I have two Mudtroopers and will soon have the Maul. I don't think any more figures are coming unless they somehow manage to do a Maul TV show with Emilia Clarke.

The data fails to support your conjecture. If this was the case why were TLJ home sales so high if everyone was upset by it in theaters? Why did EP9 make similar, albeit lower box office. Both movies did significantly better than Solo.
Valid points.
Not valid points. Trilogy movies have always made the most money. TLJ made a ton because it rode the coattails of TFA and the Luke Skywalker cliffhanger, not too many people had a problem TFA at that time. Episode 9 also severely underperformed. Sure it made a billion dollars(barely) but it was a Star Wars trilogy ending movie that came out at Christmas time. It should have easily made TFA type money and it didn't. If the ST was done right episode 9 could have made Endgame type money. It made less than TLJ which qualifies it as a pretty huge failure, albeit still profitable.
Bottom line is Solo came out on the heels of TLJ AND LOST 100 MILLION DOLLARS. Imagine how pathetic it is for a Star Wars movie to actually lose money. The toys stopped selling. Decades long fans stopped caring. It took Jon Favreau and a TV series to stop the bleeding to save the franchise from complete and total ruin at the hands of Kathleen Kennedy.

Critics loved TLJ but people not so much while it was the opposite for TROS if you look at rottentomatoes.

It is unfortunate that Solo bombed because it was a great movie IMO (I would have loved to see a sequel with Qi'ra and Maul). The people that saw it seemed to have mainly liked it. I also think TLJ didn't help Solo and the fact that H. Ford was replaced also made many people not see it (even if Ehrenreich did a very decent job). It also didn't help to release so many movies so close. Solo was released only 6 months after TLJ, no Star Wars movies were ever released so close. TROS was about 1.5 year after the last Star Wars movie.
But yes, The Mandalorian reunited the people I think (and the first episode of season 2 reminded us that TROS unfortunately doesn't make any sense, IMO the biggest incoherence of all Star Wars movies).
