It was a stupid time to release it actually. Memorial Day weekend? A lot of us American are out of town on vacation, not hanging around the local movie theaters. Maybe the powers that be will think of that next time on releasing a movie on a holiday weekend.

Is there a decent explanation as to why the romance dialog between Padme and Anakin in Attack of the Clones is just SO BAD? I think Lucas just wanted to make Anakin so over creepy that he overcompensated and hit the mark a little TOO well. I thought it was because Lucas can't write worth of sh!t.

I am convinced this movie AotC might be brilliant if someone just cuts out the romance dialog and reduces Anakin's and Padme's interaction to angsty glances. Portman definitely sold that, "I deeply, truly, love you," line at the end though. Anakin's whole "I can't breath... I'm in agony" monologue needs to go.

Star Wars has never really been good at selling romance. Even Han and Leia wasn't done very well in my opinion.

Seems Solo box office is struggling comparatively (a little better than half Rogue One's opening). Comparatively, because it's Ron Howard's highest ever opening, a director whose work I adore. Funny, because it's an enjoyable film, I was entertained; certainly not the series' weakest entry. IMDb 7.2 vs Rogue One 7.3. So on paper, there's no reason why this movie shouldn't be doing equally well. If you are a 'Star Wars fan' that has stayed away, what's your thinking? Or are you seeing it later? It's worse then Rogue One's opening; Full article from The Guardian.

I'll admit I found the premise of Rogue One much more interesting conceptually. Solo struck me as an excuse to explain away the bloopers in the original trilogy. (though I did enjoy it) As a 'side movie,' I'd expect fewer people to see it, Rogue One was probably more successful than I thought it would be. I loved Rogue One, and liked that it was basically a link between the old and new trilogies past trilogies. And of course, it had some of my favorite Vader scenes, short as they were. I'm pretty sure it has the best space battle of any SW film to date. That doesn't hurt it any. But with Solo, it's taking what's essentially a mundane character in the scope of the setting and giving it more attention than it really deserves (in my opinion) at this point. If they ever make a Chewbacca movie, it should just be him and a bunch of other wookies bellowing at each other with big yellow serif gothic font subtitles.

It definitely had an effect on the numbers.

I might see it eventually, but not likely. I didn't like any of Disney's SW movies so far, I didn't like what they did with the old characters and I didn't like any new characters. I run out of nostalgia, so I can't be arsed to see another movie that is a one big reference to OT.

Is there a decent explanation as to why the romance dialog between Padme and Anakin in Attack of the Clones is just SO BAD? Lucas stole pretty much everything he had from old WW2 films and subtitled Jedageki. There's nothing in there to teach him how to properly write romantic dialogue in English. Even his non-romantic dialogue was lacking for much the same reason. Still, the bad dialogue made for lulsy memes, so there's that.

Bad dialogue is part of Star Wars for me. Laser swords, check. Space battles, check. Terrible dialogue, check. That's a terrible defense. The thing is, even if one accepted that somehow, say, TLJ and whichever other movie are equal in their horribleness (which I'd disagree on, I think it's possibly the worst SW movie to date, including movie 2), repeat offenders don't really get lenient treatment just because they have done the deed before. I was being flippant. But I thought it was fairly well agreed upon that the dialogue in all the SW movies, including the OT was a bit crap. Even at the time the OT was being filmed/screened you had the actors saying it was bad. Or are we going to let nostalgia gloss over that flaw also?
