]]>Since the release of Solo: A Star Wars Story, the term “Star Wars Fatigue” has been thrown around. The feature was proportionately the lowest-grossing and lowest rated of the franchise and critics and fans began speculating why the movie missed the mark. One of the reasons people suggested was that people are growing tired of new movies being released back to back. It takes away from the excitement.
Now, in an interview with Empire, Kennedy has revealed that releasing two movies a year just isn’t going to work.
“We don’t have a crystal ball,” she explained. “We tried to look at Solo and see if we could do two movies a year and we found, ‘Hmm that’s not going to work’, so we backed off a little.”
She also shared that they have lots of ideas in the works and “lots of different stories”. For now, though, the new features will be spread out.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will be released on December 18.

]]>Solo: A Star Wars Story director Ron Howard recently spoke with Variety and said that Ford has seen the movie twice and absolutely “adores” it. Howard also added that Ford gave him a call after seeing the movie for the first time and gave it a glowing review.
“I had never heard Harrison effusive about anything, and he was raving about it,” Howard told Variety. “He said, ‘Alden nailed it. He made it his own.'”
Harrison Ford landed the role of Han Solo in 1977’s Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, and this role went on to establish him as a Hollywood superstar. He went on to reprise the role in sequels: The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Return of the Jedi (1983), and Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015). Ford didn’t participate in Solo: A Star Wars Story, but did have a sit-down with Alden Ehrenreich, who plays the young Han Solo, with the young star deciding to absorb as much as he could from Ford and then rely on his instincts to guide him rather than doing an impersonation.
“Just like in a biopic, the main thing is that pretty soon into the movie you’re really just involved with this story and these characters, and that’s the most important thing,” Ehrenreich to Variety. “Your job is the same as in any other movie: to make the scene work and make it feel like a real person.”
Solo: A Star Wars Story will receive its official release on May 25th in the United States. According to the early reviews, the movie will appeal to both the casual and hardcore fans of the Star Wars franchise but they shouldn’t set their expectations too high.

]]>“The new year promises a lot of excitement at the multiplex, but fans are particularly looking forward to Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War and Black Panther, which boasts a groundbreaking ensemble and promises to be one of the most talked-about movies of 2018.” said Fandango Managing Editor Erik Davis in a statement. “These two films ruled our survey results, with Panther cast members Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Danai Gurira, and Winston Duke figuring prominently in each survey category. 2018 looks to offer fresh takes, new and diverse voices, and beloved characters fans can’t wait to see back on the big screen again.”
Other movies that dominated the survey include Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Deadpool sequel, and Solo: A Star Wars Story. The fan-favorite actress this year is Avengers: Infinity War star Scarlett Johansson while Chris Pratt squeezed in front of Ryan Reynolds for a fan favorite actor. The moviegoers think that Solo: A Star Wars Story actor Alden Ehrenreich is going to be a rising male star, while the rising female star will be Danai Gurira who will be featured in both Marvel movies in the next year.
