10 Star Wars Mistakes Confirmed By The Creators

It's fair to say that Star Wars has, as well as the Marvel Cinematic Universe in recent years, fallen victim to oversaturation of product. There has just been too much content thrown at fans and certain fatigue has set in so that fans aren't necessarily bored of Star Wars, but are almost overwhelmed by it.

Throughout the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy, there was just one new Star Wars movie every three years, leaving long enough for fans to be chomping at the bit for more by the time of the next release. With the sequel trilogy however, this was ramped up to a Skywalker Saga movie every two years.

Even in between 2015's The Force Awakens and 2017's The Last Jedi, there was Rogue One, but still this didn’t deter fans as told by the respective box office numbers of $2 billion, $1.3 billion, and $1 billion. Lucasfilm seemingly wanted to push things even further however, and potentially pushed their luck a little too much.

Just five months after the release of Episode VIII came Solo, which saw a dramatic drop in its box office intake. At just $392,000, this is still the lowest-grossing Star Wars movie ever. There were plenty of reasons for this, but the one that Kathleen Kennedy gives the most credence to is the fact that it came too soon after Episode VIII, leading her to take her foot off the gas in regards to cinematic releases. There will be more Star Wars movies in the future, but don't expect them to come so close together again.
