Summary

Focusing on quality is a step in the right direction...however doing so because Solo bombed and deeming it an 'aggressive star wars approach' because of the many Star Wars projects isn't accurate in my opinion. By having Solo following The Last Jedi, Disney and Lucasfilm felt the hit and loss much harder because of the fan's reception. I feel any film would have tanked a bit after The Last Jedi, even an awesome Darth Maul film would have suffered a bit compared to if it had followed a great reception to Episode 8's release.

Kathleen Kennedy said Solo bombed because it didn't have a deepfake...so which one is it here? What's the real answer? Do they know? Or are they just playing it for the public while keeping their real answers behind closed doors?

0:00.0	Hey guys, how's it going? Welcome back to another Star Wars theory podcast.
0:08.6	You know man, I still don't really understand how they can be so thick and they just can't
0:17.0	understand that well let's just read going forwards. Bob Iger shed some light on the
0:21.2	Star Wars movie dilemma. Heady Jenkins and Kevin Feige's respective films were officially
0:25.1	a show that Lucasfilm this week. Disney CEO Bob Iger has given some clarity regarding
0:29.4	the Star Wars film situation. Speaking at the Morgan Stanley technology, media and telecom
0:34.2	conference, the executive stated that Lucasfilm is being very careful about the next movie
0:38.6	set in the galaxy far far away. While multiple ideas have been announced as being in development
0:42.8	over the last few years, most of them have been canceled, including this week's announcement
0:47.3	that Patty Jenkins, Rogue, Squadron and Kevin Feige's untitled film are no longer moving
0:52.2	forward at the studio. Here's what Iger had to say about the cinematic future of Star
0:56.2	Wars. We're still developing Star Wars films but we're going to make sure when we make
1:00.2	one, it's the right one. So we're being very careful there. Iger cited the box office
1:04.6	failure of the 2018 spin-off solo a Star Wars story as the main reason why the studio's
1:09.6	feature output plan changed. So freaking incorrect in my opinion. I think the only reason
1:14.8	that solo bombed. First of all, it's solo. This solo console is a cool character but it's
1:19.4	not like you're making a movie about Luke Skywalker or Anakin Skywalker or Darth Vader or
1:24.3	heck even Boba Fett. It's Han Solo and it's a prequel story. I liked the movie. I saw
1:29.3	it twice in theaters and I enjoyed it. I thought it was fun and I thought the actor, Alden
1:33.0	Airek, did a great job, Airek, did a great job acting as Harrison Ford. To go off and
1:38.6	say that the box office failure of solo is the main reason why the studio's feature output
1:44.2	plan changed is just so lame to me. It's plainly so simple. The answer for the failure
