TLJ was a massive success, clearly people loved it. The biggest problem was that Solo was 6 months after TLJ and had very poor marketing. Disney should have moved it to December.

Nobody at Disney is calling TLJ a "massive success". Yes, it crossed the $1B

Same here for Solo, but didn’t pay to go see it as I was so bitter about TLJ
