Isn't that amazing?! Those were exactly the comic book movies I was thinking when I made my comment above! However did you know?
Sorry, but that's a warning for flaming. Comments to PM
The Han Solo movie directors got fired by Disney! And so late in the production with only a couple of weeks left on the shoot! Replacement director is to be announced. Disney didn't even attempt a decent "cover up"! Wonder if we'll see any "Han Solo is doomed", "It will be changed drastically", "Star Wars is finished" articles and posts. (Not really though. I know that's reserved for WB/DC only.)

Disney's Star Wars movies have averaged $1.6 bn so far, while the DCEU has yet to crack 900m. Massive financial success earns a certain leeway. Don't shoot the messenger.

Why do you people keep judging the quality of a film based upon box office? Again and again and again. Why do you keep expecting everyone to accept your views of any film when you start quoting box office returns? It's so shallow to me. And controlling.
I am actually hoping that Disney soon realizes these anthology series will endanger the popularity of the franchise. Yes, I know they will milk them until the cows are dry, but like James Bond did for many years I'm sure a movie every two or three years would still keep the series fresh while feeding the need.
Star Wars is a universe. They could do 2-3 movies a year and not milk the franchise dry in my life time. There is pretty much unlimited story potential. There really is no excuse for a year without a SW movie, and I hope they go on for a long time.
"Will"? Since there's only been one anthology movie to date -- one that did rather well, actually -- there's nowhere near enough evidence to assert that as a certainty.
Just an opinion, regardless of my grammar. Rogue One was a story that fit in nicely with the known story. Now we have Han Solo, another known character---how long can we continue to have stories like that?
What makes stories work isn't what they're about, but how they're done. Too many people concoct theories about what makes movies succeed or fail, and they all focus too much on categories and generalities instead of what actually matters, which is how each individual movie is executed. I just saw a discussion on Facebook where folks were talking about how everyone assumed pirates were box-office death until Johnny Depp came along, that gangster movies were a dead genre before The Godfather, etc. Predictions and conventional wisdom and generalizations are useless. A movie succeeds if the movie itself engages audiences, regardless of prior history. There is no franchise fatigue, there is no jinxed genre -- all it takes is one good (or at least effectively crowd-pleasing) movie to blow all that doomsaying out of the water.
Christopher, are you feeling OK? How could you totally forget the Batgirl that was introduced in 1961? I remember reading some Batman comics with her and Batman, in this collection I kept checking out from the library, with Batman comics from the 30's to I think the 70;s (if not 80's).
I actually like this idea...but just wondering...would the idea of a middle aged expert computer hacker be "realistic" in 2018? At least to the general public. I know Hollywood seems to often make expert professors and doctors waaaay younger then they ought...but computer hackers, on the other hand...?
Wozniak is 66, Gates is 61, Torvalds is 47...
Not that keen on the two Batgirls idea though, I'd rather have Babs and Dick be contemporaries.
He did say "Batgirl (Barbara Gordon)". That was Bat-Girl (Betty Kane).
But are any of them still active in the field? And if so, are they at the TOP of the game?
But the Christopher I know would have mentioned her and somehow tied her into the Barbara Gordon version (especially with less than a decade between them)
The Christopher I know would have thrown in an anecdote from the Superman radio show, but I teased him a few many times about that.
Perhaps Christopher has been replaced by someone associated with the Illuminati? Christopher--if you're still there please share something that only your close friends on the TrekBBS would know!
