That&#8217;s right. For the first time in seven years, an actual Star Wars movie will be at your local AMC, should it still be open and operational.<\/p>\n<p>And here&#8217;s the thing &#8230; nobody cares. How sad is that? I grew up during a time when the world revolved around the next Star Wars installment. Folks would start lining up outside the theater days in advance. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/food-drink\/food\/fast-food\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Taco Bell<\/a> would spend six months running promos and handing out special Qui-Gon Jinn cups. It&#8217;s all folks could talk about for <i>weeks<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>And here we are in 2026 \u2014 a full seven years removed from the last Star Wars movie \u2014 and nobody cares. Worse yet, the folks who <i>do <\/i>care about the release of &#8220;The Mandalorian &amp; Grogu&#8221; aren&#8217;t painting a great picture ahead of next week&#8217;s worldwide release.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s just say the early reviews are in, and it seems Star Wars fans may want to skip this one.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/outkick-analysis\/disneys-first-star-wars-movie-tracking-yet-another-massive-disappointment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>DISNEY&#8217;S FIRST &#8216;STAR WARS&#8217; MOVIE IN SEVEN YEARS IS TRACKING TO BE YET ANOTHER MASSIVE DISAPPOINTMENT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yikes. It&#8217;s just brutal. Now, to be fair, there were some positive reviews, and I&#8217;m going to get to them in a minute. But, the negatives far outweigh the positives, so we&#8217;re gonna start with them.<\/p>\n<p>Look, this film has a lot of pressure on it, and a lot of it probably isn&#8217;t fair. Disney has, for the most part, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/outkick-analysis\/disney-tacitly-admits-made-multi-billion-dollar-mistake-star-wars-land\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">completely botched Star Wars<\/a>. The sequel trilogy was an unmitigated disaster. Most of the miniseries outside of a few have bombed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/outkick-culture\/new-streaming-data-paints-shockingly-grim-picture-disneys-awful-star-wars-sequels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Streaming numbers released by Nielsen<\/a> last week showed fans are still watching the franchise, but only the originals and the prequels. Disney did hit a home run with &#8220;Andor,&#8221; but that&#8217;s about it.<\/p>\n<p>So, yes, this movie about the silly baby Yoda creature has a lot riding on it. If it hits, perhaps Disney will have some real momentum for the first time since taking over the franchise. If it bombs, they&#8217;re going to further alienate the fanbase.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, it looks \u2014 and feels \u2014 like a bomb. Again, there&#8217;s just no juice for this movie. Even with the sequels, for as bad as they were, there was still <i>juice<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/andor-showrunner-denies-hit-star-wars-show-left-wing-political-story\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>&#8216;ANDOR&#8217; SHOWRUNNER DENIES HIT &#8216;STAR WARS&#8217; SHOW IS A &#8216;LEFT-WING&#8217; POLITICAL STORY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Do fans really care about the &#8220;The Mandalorian &amp; Grogu?&#8221; I just don&#8217;t think they do. This is the first Star Wars movie in SEVEN years, and nobody is talking about it. That&#8217;s a major problem for Disney. Execs should be sweating right now. Lord knows I would be.<\/p>\n<p>Now, as I said, there were <i>some <\/i>positive reviews from the early screenings. Fair is fair:<\/p>\n<p>See? It&#8217;s not all bad! Who knows? Perhaps when the fans get to see it, they&#8217;ll disagree with the reviewers. Frankly, that happens all the time. Film snobs are the worst.<\/p>\n<p>But here&#8217;s the real issue &#8230; I&#8217;m not sure it&#8217;ll even matter, because I&#8217;m not sure the &#8220;fans&#8221; are even showing up for this one.<\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s a shame.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/outkick-culture\/early-reviews-new-star-wars-movie-generally-horrific-anyone-even-care-point\">Source &#8211; https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/outkick-culture\/early-reviews-new-star-wars-movie-generally-horrific-anyone-even-care-point <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re one week away from a new &#8220;Star Wars&#8221; movie hitting the theaters.
