"‘Solo’ Sputters at Box Office, Raising Worries of ‘Star Wars’ Fatigue."

By Yango - May 29, 2018

Oh, I certainly hope so! After 40 years — and it was considered ironically retro in Year 1 — we'd better be tired of it.

The headline is from the NYT, here.

“‘Star Wars’ fans have an enormous sense of ownership, which works to the benefit of the movie company and to the detriment,” said Steve Sansweet, the president of Rancho Obi-Wan, a nonprofit “Star Wars” memorabilia museum, and the former head of fan relations for Lucasfilm. “There is a growing feeling among fans that the movies are starting to come out a little too frequently.”
Oh, apparently, it's not truly cosmic fatigue, just a pacing preference. I'm bored with that. I want to see people deciding they've had enough at long last. But I'll just turn away from fandom. I have some things I've liked far too long. For example, I just quoted Bob Dylan (in the previous post).
