Blame Wars

[Blind Gossip] The latest installment of this movie franchise is not faring as well as hoped. Lots of finger pointing going on.

One of the franchise’s past actors thinks he knows where to put pin the blame: On the lead of the current film!

[Actor] was a terrible, terrible choice as the lead! He has all the charisma of a wet dishrag.

While we’re not sure if the current lead actor is the only reason – or even the main reason – why this film is flopping, it’s interesting that the franchise’s actors are turning on each other. That would not have happened long ago!

  1. I would probably look at the director, who very publicly said that he wanted an SJW version of Star Wars and didn’t care what the fan base thought.

    Take a page from Marvel and keep politics out of it.

  3. Harrison Ford or Mark Hamil
    Alden Ehrenreich
    I think they are saturating filmgoers with too many Star Wars movies, to be honest. And I don’t find him a great actor.

  4. The Solo movie is flopping also “Blame wars/ Star Wars”
    nobody asked for this movie that’s why

  5. Star Wars

    Harrison Ford and whoever was cast as young Solo.

    I am a life-long SW fan and I doubt I will even attempt to watch Solo.

  6. Harrison Ford

    Aaron E-whatever

    The Han Solo solo film is DOA due to SW fatigue and a dull and uninspiring lead actor as Han Solo.

  7. Past Actor: Mark Hamill (only because I don’t think Harrison Ford cares enough to have a strong opinion on this)

    Current Lead: Alden Ehrenreich

    (“That would not have happened long ago” — ‘A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..’)

    [Optional] What is the reason for the current film’s poor performance?: You can’t top ACTUAL young Han Solo, which was 1970s Harrison Ford

  8. Past Actor: Harrison Ford

    Current Lead: Alden Ehrenreich

    Clues: “Blame wars” Star Wars, “as well as hoped” A New Hope, “long” A long time ago in a galaxy far far away

    The movie didn’t have much hype. The studios didn’t seem interested in their own movie to promote it. Just seemed Disney expected it to fail. It’s the first “origin” story but again completely deviated from the books. I thought it was entertaining and Alden did a decent job, but there wasn’t the spark of…

  9. Sounds like Solo: A Star Wars Story. I think the have too many of the movies, it’s like the Friday the 13th the Franchise.. also, not too many folks pleased with Kathleen Kennedy.

  10. Star Wars
    Don’t think Harrison Ford would be that mean, must be somebody else
    Alden Ehrenreich

    Not sure. I haven’t seen it yet, but two friends whose opinions I trust said it was entertaining. I’ll see if when I get a chance.

  14. Franchise: Star Wars
    Those remarks sound salty enough to come from Harrison Ford.
    Current actor: Alden Ehrenreich
    Why is the Solo movie flopping? No one wanted it to begin with. We knew pretty much everything we needed/wanted to know about Han Solo from the original trilogy. Imagining the Kessel Run is more satisfying than seeing the Kessel Run.
    Now, a Lando movie? We learned very little about that character previously, so that would make much more sense (in crass commercial terms).

    Disney is stripmining the star wars universe. They don’t seem focused on continuity, canon, or making the new films live up to the old ones. They’re also pumping them out so fast that its easy to get fatigued.

  16. Star Wars (Solo: A Star Wars Story)
    Harrison Ford
    Alden Ehrenreich

    It didn’t have the hype that the previous SW films did.

  17. Movie Franchise: Star Wars (SOLO)

    Past Actor: Harrison Ford

    Current Lead: Alden Ehrenreich

  18. the new stand alone Han Solo movie…. not sure why anyone thought we needed it…. haven’t seen anything about Harrison Ford saying anything about it but guessing it’s him… previews I saw didn’t make me want to see it, the guy they picked to play Han….No charisma

  20. Movie Franchise: Solo – out of star wars franchise

    Past Actor: Harrison Ford

    Current Lead: the actor that plays Han Solo. I don’t know his name

  23. Solo
    Movie franchise: Star Wars
    Past actor: Harrison Ford
    Current actor: Alden Ehrenreich

    I actually liked the movie oops!!
