The Mandalorian & Grogu is released this week and is set for the lowest opening weekend of any Star Wars film ever. With the TV shows also struggling, here's why interest is waning.
Disney has over-saturated Star Wars. Star Wars used to be special. Like when the 97 Special Editions came out or the Shadows of The Empire cross media event or the Prequels or hell even the launch of new books with the Thrawn Trilogy was a big deal. It was special then. You had to wait years for something NEW for star wars and people loved that.
Now it’s a yearly thing or multiple times a year thing. it’s just not special anymore. The Mandalorian and Grogu movie is the FIRST Star Wars movie for me that I’m saying “meh, i’ll wait to see it” I’ve NEVER said that about a Star Wars movie, even the sequels.
I said that about Solo. Incidentally, it was a better movie than I expected, but it was still super unnecessary. It left me far more interested in a follow-up than Solo itself.
