Blame the stigma this movie has on Disney and Kennedy. Production troubles, lead actor needing an acting couch, change of directors. All of that on top of many fans asking why this movie even exists in the first place. It was a recipe for disaster. The movie actually being good didn't help in the end, obviously.
I enjoyed Rogue One, and I feel I'd probably enjoy Solo as well. Star Wars outside light sabers, the Jedi & Sith is refreshing. RO did good because it was their first big theatrical attempt at this. Also because TFA was well received. The timing was perfect and the momentum was still there.
When they play it safe, like they did with TFA, things seem to work out. Sometimes they get lucky like they did with RO. I feel like they should've played it safe one more time and released Kenobi first. Get that momentum back after the disaster that was TLJ.
