The postmortems have been flying fast and furious after Solo: A Star Wars Story earned, at most, two-thirds of what Disney expected it would make in its opening couple of days. Let’s go through some of these excuses, shall we?

Item: Star Wars fans were upset because Solo switched directors in midstream. “When you have fans that are that religiously enthusiastic about the ‘Star Wars’ property, any change can cause a shift in the force,” box-office analyst Paul Dergarabedian told Variety. Oh, for God’s sake. Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the directors who were replaced, aren’t known for their work on Star Wars movies—they made The Lego Movie and 21 Jump Street. Films switch out directors very rarely and it’s never a good sign, but how many people actually know or care about such things? Not many. I’d bet every fanboy went to see Solo this weekend anyway. The problem is that non-fanboys didn’t.
