But on what do you base this?
The Star Wars fans who disliked TLJ skipped Solo. The Star Wars fans who liked TLJ also didn't go.
So who did go if Star Wars fans didn't go? What about the podcasters who don't like TLJ who went to see Solo?
And is that really believable? That every fan who didn't like TLJ didn't go to Solo. Then how do you explain the millions of people who hate TPM showing up for the other Prequels, buying the PT DVDs, etc.
Sorry, but you are contradicting yourself.
What was your opinion of TLJ ?
I do not doubt that there are fans who didn't show up to Solo because of a dislike of TLJ but I don't know of anyway to accurately measure how many that is so.
No , I'm not contradicting myself,
but I really didn't make my post as clear as it should have been. My bad.
Let me make myself much clearer then since my post clearly left you with the wrong impression, and as a result, you seem to think I was making a different point then I was trying to make.
I should have qualified that , I wasn't referring to
all sw fans who liked or didn't like TLJ didn't turn up for Solo. I wasn't crazy about TLJ myself( see my past posts, cause i'm not gonna debate it yet again for 800th time ) but I saw Solo and liked it, (again, see my past posts).
So no ,
not everyone who liked and disliked TLJ skipped out on Solo. There are people who hated TLJ went to see Solo and liked it, people who love TLJ and went to see Solo, people who hated TLJ and didn't see it and people who loved TLJ and didn't see it.
As far as looking for you looking for measures ,no you're not gonna accurately find measures for it, if that's what you're looking for.
I'm basing what I think happened off of anecdotal evidence from people have said online and from what those same podcasters, geek pundits, etc have said about their own experiences with people
they know who did or didn't see it.
If that evidence isn't convincing or strong enough for you, fair enough. For me , it certainly explains
one factor in addition to several others which explained Solo's box office. Again, I think that it's one factor , not the only factor.
You may not agree that's what happened. Fair enough.
