The end of the film was surprisingly open-ended, with Qi’Ra heading off to meet Darth Maul.

And with stars such as Alden Ehrenreich revealing that their contracts stipulated they be available for sequels, it seemed a dead-cert that we’d see more of the characters in the near future.

But after Solo failed to recover its costs at the global box office, things now seem a little more uncertain.

Kasdan, sharing extensive notes on the film on Twitter in lieu of a full commentary, admitted it’s unlikely we’ll see any further adventures with young Han any time soon – but it’s not off the table completely if the budget is shrunk.

“Will there ever be a sequel ‘cause it seems like you guys were setting one up? To be honest, I think the challenge has much more to do with the foreign box office than the US,” he wrote.

“Personally, I think there are great Star Wars movies to be made that don’t need to cost quite so much.

“Hopefully that will be the trend in the years to come, and maybe, just maybe, that trend will allow us, one way or another, to tell more stories with Alden, Joonas, Emila [sic] and Donald.

“With those actors and [Ron Howard], I would jump at the opportunity.”

He added: “Given the way Hollywood, and the culture at large, seem to run from anything labelled a disappointment, the odds seem like they’re against it happening anytime soon.

“But, I suppose, Han wouldn’t have it any other way.”

For now, the next Star Wars movie in cinemas is the next and final instalment in the main episodic saga.

Episode 9, which doesn’t have its official title just yet, is currently in production and will be released in late 2019.

After that, Rian Johnson will get going on a brand new trilogy, said to be separate from the Skywalker series altogether.

Other rumoured spin-offs, such as those for Obi-Wan Kenobi and Boba Fett, seem to have gone quiet in recent months – though it’s worth noting that they were never officially announced.

In Kasdan’s extensive notes, he also wrote that he had mixed feelings about the death of one particular character in Solo.

Solo: A Star Wars Story is out on DVD and Blu-ray on September 24.

Everton worry

21:47: It’s so far past the transfer deadline now some of us are already thinking about January.

And there’s a worry for Everton. Their move for Kurt Zouma is under threat and the Toffees will not be able to confirm the transfer until Friday morning.

That’s assuming it goes through at all.

It is not known exactly what the hold-up on the deal is at this moment.

Liverpool done deal

20:35: It’s late, very late, but it’s official. Liverpool striker Danny Ings has joined Southampton on a season-long loan.

Southampton had the deal sheet lodged before the 5pm transfer deadline, handing them two hours to compete Ings’ arrival.

And after media duties the player has penned a loan move to the south coast club.

Southampton manager Mark Hughes said: “There was significant competition for Danny, with a lot of clubs keen to complete a deal for him, so we’re clearly delighted that he chose to join us.”

Zouma to Everton

Everton have already signed centre-back Yerry Mina today – and Zouma is set to follow.

The deal is yet to be announced but it is understood Zouma did sign before the 7pm extended deadline.

Everton have enjoyed a busy final day of the transfer window, landing Mina, Andre Gomes and Bernard.

West Ham done deal

18:40: West Ham youngster Domingos Quina was linked with moves to Barcelona and Leeds earlier this summer.

But the 18-year-old has today joined Watford, signing a four-year deal with the Hornets.

Quina’s deal was completed after the 5pm transfer deadline but Watford had two precious hours to secure the move after completing a deal sheet.

Quina helped Portugal win the U19 European Championship earlier this year.

Fulham do late (very late) deal

17:34: Another late one… Tony Khan has just tweeted this: “I’m excited to announce that @FulhamFC has signed Sergio Rico on loan from Sevilla.

“Sergio is a world class goalkeeper, and now he’s joining a very talented cast of goalkeepers under contract at FFC, making our squad as strong as possible for the @premierleague. Come on Fulham!”

He has been capped once for Spain national side and had been linked with Chelsea earlier this week.

Two deal sheets in

17:30: Late drama for Danny Ings. Southampton have submitted a deal sheet after agreeing fee with Liverpool and have two hours to get it signed. Ings on his way to the south coast now to complete the move.

Kurt Zouma is also believed to be the subject of a deal sheet move. He’s set to join Everton from Chelsea. Oh, and if you need to know what a deal sheet is…

Three done deals

17:15: West Ham have announced the signing of Colombia midfielder Carlos Sanchez from Fiorentina on a two-year deal.

Barcelona have agreed to loan midfielder Andre Gomes to Everton for the forthcoming season, the Spanish side have announced.

While Barca have also confirmed defender Yerry Mina has also signed for Everton while Brighton have signed Dan Burn from Fulham.

WINDOW IS SHUT

17:00: THE. TRANSFER. WINDOW. IS. SHUT.

But still deals could be done. We’re hearing Everton could be signing Kurt Zouma and Andre Gomes on loan – as well as Yerry Mina. More as we have it.

Fekir agrees Chelsea contract claim

16:50: This could be the deal of the window – if it comes off. Sit down, Chelsea fans, for it’s been claimed Nabil Fekir has agreed personal terms to move to Stamford Bridge.

Football news outlet CaughtOffside are running a report this afternoon which states Fekir has come to an arrangement on a contract with Chelsea.

English clubs need to complete their transfer business by 5pm today – meaning a deal would need to be rushed through, if true.

However, CaughtOffside say Lyon are holding firm and are desperate not to sell their star player.

United send youngster to Fulham

16:36: Timothy Fosu Mensah is close to joining Fulham on loan for the season.

The 20-year-old defender was at Crystal Palace last season and looks set to head back to London.

Fulham have been looking for reinforcements before the window shuts and still need a left-back.

Joe Bryan appears the most likely to slot in there if his deal from Bristol City gets done.

Diego Godin to Man Utd theory

16:13: More on Diego Godin. Sky Sports man Kaveh Solhekol says Jose Mourinho was keen on the player but believes the club has been used by the Uruguayan’s agent.

He tweeted: “Diego Godin’s agent approached Manchester United this week when the team was in Cagliari, saying the player was keen to come to Old Trafford and a deal could be done, so United made an offer for the agent to take to the Atletico board.

“Within hours, Godin had signed a new contract on improved terms at Atletico Madrid (€7.5m net).

“Whilst Jose Mourinho would have been keen to sign the defender, the manager believes that the desire on the agent’s part was always to leverage the situation to get a new contract for Godin.”

Everton transfer news

15:56: Ladbrokes have suspended betting on Yerry Mina joining Everton before 5pm today.

Having long been linked with a move to the Premier League, the bookies are so confident the Barcelona defender will move to Goodison Park, they’ve now pulled the plug on the market for his next club.

Meanwhile, Kurt Zouma is now just 1/4 to follow him to Merseyside.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “He’s been odds-on for a Prem move for a few weeks now, and it looks as though Everton have won the race for Mina’s signature. It’s a race against time now, but Zouma may well be following him to Goodison Park.”

Arsenal offer for Dembele

15:16: Now this is big. Really big… Arsenal have apparently lodged a £92million bid for Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele, according to Spanish journalist Kike Marin.

El Confidencial reporter Marin tweeted a huge update this afternoon to suggest the Gunners may pull off the deal of the transfer window.

He tweeted: “Confirmed: #Arsenal has offered to #FCBarcelona € 100 million by Dembelé. The key is whether the French striker wants to go or not. Time is running out…”

Rangers business

15:11: Rangers are seeing some movement in Scotland today.

Declan John is having a medical at Swansea and Josh Windass is in talks with Cardiff.

James Tavernier though is staying put and will lead Rangers out against Maribor tonight.

The window doesn’t close in Scotland until the end of the month so there could still be incomings over the next few weeks with a striker the top priority.

Wolves sign Deodoncker from Anderlecht

15:00: Wolves have made their second signing in as many days with the recruitment of Leander Dendoncker from Anderlecht.

The 23-year-old midfielder, who can also play in defence, has joined the club initially on a season-long loan but the move will become permanent next summer.

Brilliant Courtois story

14:45: A brilliant story has emerged about Thibaut Courtois’ move to Real Madrid.

A journalist interviewed him back in 2011, when he was about to join Atletico. At the time he saw a Real Madrid flag in his room.

The reporter kept the fact he had it private and now, seven years later, Courtois has got his dream move.

Spanish journalist Dani Hidalgo wrote: “He slept under a flag of the Santiago Bernabeu in his room in Bree (Belgium). I saw it in 2011 in a report of the local TV TVL, who interviewed him while he was packing to go to Madrid. I decided not to publish anything when I worked in as not to hurt him.”

Newcastle set to sign Fernandez

14:30: Swansea defender Federico Fernandez headed for Tyneside this afternoon as Newcastle attempted to push through a deadline day deal.

With the two clubs still working to agree a fee, the 29-year-old Argentina international made his way to the north-east to undergo a medical and discuss personal terms.

The Swans’ assistant manager Billy Reid told a press conference: “Fede has been here throughout pre-season and was excellent on Saturday, but he’s a player who sees his future elsewhere.

“It’s not settled yet, but it looks like he will go to Newcastle.”

Tottenham transfer news – Poch speaks

14:00: Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino says it will be “difficult” to make any signings before the transfer window shuts.

Spurs are the only Premier League club not to make an addition to their squad and Pochettino admits any arrivals are unlikely before the 5pm deadline.

He said: “It will be difficult. It’s not over until the game is over but with four hours to go it will be difficult.”

The Argentinian refused to speak about Spurs’ pursuit of Jack Grealish, but after a £25million bid was rejected on Wednesday that deal appears dead.

Cardiff done deal

13:44: Cardiff have signed Spain Under-21 international Victor Camarasa, the Premier League club have announced.

Camarasa joins from LaLiga club Real Betis and becomes Cardiff’s fifth summer signing.

“The 24-year-old central midfielder joins on a season-long loan for the 2018-19 campaign,” the Bluebirds announced on the official club website.

Camarasa progressed through the Valencia academy before joining neighbours Levante in 2012, making 65 appearances.

One in at West Ham

13:26: West Ham will still announce the signing of Carlos Sanchez today, according to Twitter in-the-know @ExWHUemployee.

Asked by a fan whether Sanchez is signing, he responded: “Yes at this point.”

Sanchez has won 88 caps for Colombia and played in the Premier League for Aston Villa between 2014 and 2016.

While Everton winger Ademola Lookman is staying at Goodison Park, according to Sky Sports presenter Alan Myers

Myers said: “One significant piece of information is about Ademola Lookman. There’s been lots of interest in him. RB Leipzig have tried everything to get him out of Everton but I can tell you 100 per cent he’s staying at Everton.

“I’m also told he’s going to be a very big part of this season. So good news for Evertonians, Ademola Lookman will be staying at Everton.”

Maguire ‘going to Manchester’

13:05: Leicester boss Claude Puel has confirmed Harry Maguire IS going to Manchester.

Except Puel was having a press conference prank – as it’s only for Leicester’s openi1ng Premier League game with Manchester United!

Asked about United’s interest, Leicester boss Puel joked with the media at his pre-match press conference this afternoon.

He said: “I can confirm he is going to Manchester – but only for a couple of hours!”

The Belgium international, named best goalkeeper at the World Cup, has signed a six-year deal after completing a medical on Thursday.

Courtois had a year remaining on his Chelsea deal and did not report for training with the Blues this week, before the transfer was agreed for 31.5million.

Double Everton deal

12:25: Everton are closing in on the double signing of Yerry Mina and Andre Gomes from Barcelona with both players passing medicals, it’s been claimed.

According to Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, the Toffees are set to land both players before today’s 5pm deadline.

A report states the duo have ‘passed’ medicals in a Barcelona hospital and the clubs are now thrashing out the final details of the agreements.

Mina is expected to be a permanent transfer while midfielder Gomes is likely to be a loan deal.

Godin to Man Utd OFF

12:15: Diego Godin will SNUB Manchester United despite a deadline day approach. That is the huge claim from Italian reporter Fabrizio Romano.

He tweeted: “Man Utd offered €25M to Atlético Madrid for Diego Godin release clause… and €9M/season to the player. Godin at the moment has NOT accepted and he wants to stay at Atléti.”

United have been frustrated all summer as they look to snap up a defender.

Diego Godin to Man Utd update

11:53: More news on Diego Godin… The bookies weren’t even taking bets on the Uruguayan joining the Red Devils yesterday, before installing him as a 6/1 shot for a shock move earlier this morning.

But odds have already been cut to just 4/1, making him the third-most likely centre half to join United.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “United’s mega summer statement could be about to arrive in the shape of Diego Godin, who’s odds will only shorten this afternoon, we predict.”

‘United will sign THREE’

11:36: Manchester United are going to make three signings on deadline day, according to former defender Gary Neville.

United have been frustrated in the past few weeks as deals for the likes of Harry Maguire, Toby Alderweireld and Jerome Boateng have seemingly all failed to materialise.

And with the transfer window closing at 5pm today, time is running out for any new players to sign.

But Neville has spectacularly suggested United could end the window with three new players.

He wrote on Twitter: “It’s #DeadlineDay! Watch it all unfold on Sky Sports News! United are gonna buy 3!!!”

Diego Godin to Man Utd shock

11:11: United have launched a surprise approach for Atletico Madrid’s Diego Godin.

The Uruguay defender was one of the top performers at the World Cup and Jose Mourinho could pull off a massive coup after being turned down by a number of other options.

Sky Sports say the Red Devils are hoping to land Godin on loan until the end of the season.

But that may not rule out a move for Harry Maguire or Toby Alderweireld, although Leicester and Tottenham are desperate not to sell their prized assets.

Leicester sign Benkovic

11:00: Leicester have agreed a deal to sign Dinamo Zagreb defender Filip Benkovic.

The 21-year-old has signed a five-year contract at the King Power Stadium, subject to the deal being given international clearance.

He becomes the sixth new arrival of the summer following the acquisitions of Ricardo Pereira, Jonny Evans, James Maddison, Danny Ward and Rachid Ghezzal.

Leicester boss Claude Puel said: “Filip is an exciting young player who has the potential to develop even more at Leicester City Football Club. He has made a big contribution to Dinamo Zagreb over the last three years and has also benefited from experiencing European football.

“I know he will give us some great options and competition in the squad and I’m delighted to have him here.”

United slammed for no deals by Scholes

10:55: Manchester United don’t have a chance in competing with Liverpool and Manchester City for the Premier League title due to their summer spending. That’s the claim of Manchester United legend Paul Scholes.

“When you look at Manchester City, possibly Liverpool, I don’t think they [United] have the quality of those two teams at the minute,” Scholes said.

“Liverpool have made some really good signings. United finished above them last season.

“I just don’t see United getting closer to City. City are a really good side, great manager, some great players, a way of playing that they all know about and Manchester United seem to be not too sure what’s going on.

“You don’t really know the team, you don’t really know the players, you don’t know how they’re going to perform from one week to the next.”

BREAKING NEWS: Jack Grealish STAYING at Aston Villa

10:40: Jack Grealish is staying at Aston Villa – and the club will reward him with a bumper new deal.

The 22-year-old playmaker will be offered a new contract that will make him the highest paid player at the club after seeing the door slammed on a £25m move to Tottenham.

Grealish is said to be upset at suggestions that he was about to cut up rough after seeing a dream move to the Premier League shattered.

He’s reported for training at Villa’s training ground as normal and is ready to try and achieve that with Villa this season – and then be allowed to jump ship next summer if Steve Bruce’s men fail to get back up.

The 29-year-old joined the Gunners two years ago but spent the entirety of last season on loan at former club Deportivo.

Having been included in Arsenal’s pre-season tour of Singapore it appeared Perez was potentially going to be given a fresh start under new head coach Unai Emery.

But a transfer across London to join the Hammers has been done, with Perez wanting another chance to make his mark in England.

Kovacic said: “I am really happy and excited to be here at Chelsea. It is an amazing feeling. I will try to do my best for this club. It is a new league for me, the beginning is always tough but I am sure the coach and my new team-mates will help me and I am looking forward to a great season.”

Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia added: “We are very happy to welcome Mateo to the Chelsea family. He is a perfect fit for us this season, his style is well suited to how Maurizio wants to play and we are sure he will prove to be a valuable asset for the club.”

A deal for Kepa has already been announced while Mateo Kovacic is expected to follow. He has agreed a loan move from Real Madrid.

BREAKING NEWS: Jose Mourinho speaks

09:40: Jose Mourinho is “not confident” of making a transfer deadline day signing.

He has just appeared at a press conference where he said: ”Signings? The information I have is no. I’m not confident, I’m not confident as the market closes today so it is time at least for me to stop thinking about the market because the market will be closed.

“So will have to focus on the players I have and in relation to this first couple of matches, maybe three matches because after Spurs there is national team and a couple of weeks to recover people and prepare people better, is to focus on players available so I’m not thinking about that unavailable list I give you, I focus on what we have.”

Man Utd transfer latest – two odds-on to join

09:15: Two players are odds-on with Ladbrokes to join Manchester United before 5pm today.

As things stand Harry Maguire looks set for a move, with the bookies pricing up his chances of leaving Leicester for Manchester at 10/11.

But the more likely United signing is Toby Alderweireld, with 2/5 now on offer for the Tottenham ace to make a Deadline Day move. Meanwhile, Yerry Mina (9/2) and Jerome Boateng (5/1) deals look unlikely.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “Mourinho hasn’t had the best of summers but there could be two more big names on their way to Old Trafford by close of play today.”

West Ham transfer news: Lucas Perez is still expected to sign (Image: TWITTER)

West Ham transfer news – Lucas Perez still expected

09:10: Lucas Perez has not officially signed but West Ham insider @ExWHUemployee still expects it to be done.

Ex, a reliable source of Hammers transfer news, tweeted last night: “The deal is still on course to be completed but there is an agent issue that needs sorting.”

As for Carlos Sanchez, that remains in the balance. West Ham want another midfielder but Danny Drinkwater has also emerged as a possible target.

It’s expected to be one or the other, and not both.

Ferdinand predicts ‘CARNAGE’

09:00: United legend Rio Ferdinand says “carnage” is about to happen on transfer deadline day as the Red Devils aim to sign at least one player before the window closes.

Ferdinand wrote on Twitter: “Transfer Deadline Day… carnage about to begin! Multiple Phone Calls Happening… wonder if Jose will be getting the 2 signings he wants?!”

While United attacker Alexis Sanchez says the club must sign experienced players like Barcelona midfielder Arturo Vidal if they are to win trophies.

“At United we have to sign big players, with experience,” Sanchez told Sky Sports.

“He is a great player and my team-mate from Chile. He is an example of the type of players we need to sign to win trophies and compete at the highest level.”

Man City complete early signing

08:50: Early done deal for you all… Manchester City have announced the signing of Daniel Arzani from Melbourne City FC.

The 19-year-old arrived in the UK on Wednesday to finalise the terms of the transfer.

Managing Director of Global Football Brian Marwood said: “In a short period of time, Daniel has developed into one of Australia’s brightest young stars and has demonstrated the drive and raw talent required for success at the highest level.

“This pathway was first forged by Aaron Mooy just two years ago, and we are all delighted to see another Australian-grown talent make this move. The combination of City Football Group’s global football structure and the world-leading City Football Academy facilities create an environment in which this pathway can become well-trodden.”

He is now set to be sent on loan.

Chelsea double signing – Kovacic and Kepa

08:40: Chelsea have made Kepa Arrizabalaga the world’s most expensive goalkeeper as Maurizio Sarri’s men swiftly moved to replace Real Madrid-bound Thibaut Courtois.

Months of speculation surrounding the Belgium goalkeeper came to an end on Wednesday evening when it was announced that he would get his dream move to the Spanish capital.

The deal that sees Courtois join Real Madrid for a reported £35million sees midfielder Mateo Kovacic head the other way on a season-long loan. But it is Chelsea’s move to replace their first-choice goalkeeper that is most eye-catching.

Kepa has signed a seven-year deal after joining from Athletic Bilbao, who confirmed earlier in the day that the 23-year-old’s release clause of £72.1m was activated and his contract terminated.

Man Utd transfer news – four names in frame

08:00: Jose Mourinho has a race against time to strengthen his squad today. Here’s the state of play.

England’s World Cup star Harry Maguire has been among the main targets this summer but Leicester have repeatedly made it clear that the defender is not for sale. However, Express Sport understands he DOES want to move to Old Trafford.

As for Tottenham’s Toby Alderweireld, talks remain ongoing but it’s likely to depend on how things progress with Maguire. While United’s interest in imposing Barcelona defender Yerry Mina is tempered by financial demands.

That deal does not appear to be dead just yet and Jerome Boateng is another option, although Bayern Munich are understood not to be keen to sanction a loan deal that United would like.

Liverpool transfer news latest

07:50: So Liverpool won’t bring in any fresh faces today – not even Nabil Fekir, despite every Liverpool fan seemingly wanting him.

But the Reds do want to sell with Divock Origi and Lazar Markovic potentially leaving.

Spanish outlet El Desmarque claim Crystal Palace have tabled a bid worth £16.2million to sign Divock Origi while La Liga giants Valencia are also interested.

The 23-year-old is surplus to requirements after a disappointing loan spell with German side Wolfsburg last season.

Arsenal may make defender signing

07:30: Starting at Arsenal and they may be bringing in a defender before today’s transfer deadline, says Sky Sports reporter Gail Davis.

“If it is to be anybody, it’s likely to be a defender,” she told Sky Sports News.

“If you look at who they’ve got, Laurent Koscielny is out with his Achilles until December, Sead Kolasinac got injured in pre-season.

“Nacho Monreal is just on his way back but they are a little bit short there.

“Lots of speculation around the Croatian defender over the past few days, Domagoj Vida.

“He helped his country to the World Cup final, plays for Besiktas.”

Deadline day live – clubs have until 5pm to do deals

07:00: The deadline day madness has started with Premier League clubs having until 5pm to complete any new signings.

Manchester United and Chelsea are expected to be busiest while Liverpool will move to trim their squad rather than add to it.

A couple of early notes for the diary… Jose Mourinho is due to speak at 9.30am while Totenham boss Mauricio Pochettino will hold a press conference at 12.30pm. The pair of them have both had hugely frustrating windows – but will they do any late deals today?

Jack Grealish, pictured above, is wanted and he is desperate to move to north London. However, Aston Villa are saying a firm ‘no’. Will be one to watch today for sure.

Star Wars is facing the biggest disturbance in the Force in its forty-year history.

The recent high-profile dramas the franchise is currently facing are likely to continue causing major problems, not only within the Star Wars fandom but also across the industry.

Major studios are no longer unwilling to release around a Star Wars movie, in fact they are confidently unleashing their own big hitters with a clear belief they can hold their own.

In fact one major movie is out two days before Episode 9, with another two directly competing on the same day of release. This is unprecented.

Star Wars is no longer viewed as a movie killer to be feared.

Many fans lay the blame at the feet of Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy and Last Jedi director Rian Johnson.

Episode 8 divided fans to an extent not even Jedi powers could predict or, at this stage, possibly even repair.

Solo A Star Wars Story was the first box office disaster in the franchise’s history, not even crossing $ 400million worldwide. Rebel fans claim their boycott is responsible, but numerous other factors like the movie’s well-publicised dramas contributed.

Unarguable damage has been done to public perception and industry confidence. Just look at the staggering number of major releases lined up in November and December next year.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1: Wonder Woman 1984. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8: James Bond 25. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22: Terminator 6 Reboot. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27: Frozen 2. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13: Jumanji 3.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18: Masters of the Universe.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20: Star Wars Episode IX, Wicked, Death on the Nile.

All the November releases are weeks away from Episode 9 but will have had two effects. They will have already taxed the wallets of families and young people, the target audience of Star Wars, especially with much of the older fanbase still likely to be disaffected.  They will also have already enjoyed huge levels of hype.

Daniel Craig’s last film as Bond, Disney’s sequel to the biggest animated movie of all time and the follow-up to the only DC movie (so far) to win over fan and critics will all be major fan, media and industry events. Meaning Star Wars 9 will not enter the field with any empty space for anticipation to build. In fact audience may be suffering from a little blockbuster fatigue.

Jumanji 2 took over a billion dollars and pleased families, kids and adults across male and female demographics. Masters of the Univrese could be a huge hit or flop (or even move in the schedules) but will target the same fan base as Star Wars. 

Death on the Nile will target older, affluent audiences while Rent will be aimed at the female cinemagoers, disaffected teens, counter-culture and theatre fans (gay and otherwise). 

All these groups would likely go to see Star Wars if there was no other major option but will now chip away at its box office. In previous years the films and their studios would never dream of releasing on the same day or week.

Of course Star wars 9 will not be a flop, but it may not be anywhere near the resounding, record-breaking triumph everyone would have assumed just six months ago.

Is the Lucasfilm boss about to go Solo?

It’s been a difficult last six months for the woman who was once riding high on a record-breaking relaunch of the Star Wars franchise with The Force Awakens, followed by the impressive debut of the Anthology spin-offs with the edgy Rogue One.

But Kennedy was also responsible for hiring and then firing Josh Trank, Chris Lord and Phil Miller, and Colin Trevorrow, all of which cost parent company Disney dearly with hundreds of millions of dollars spent on reshoots.

Unprecedented fan fury erupted over The Last Jedi, followed by a boycott of Solo A Star Wars Story which many believe contributed to that movie’s disastrous box office performance.

A new report echoes what many in Hollywood are starting to believe: “Kathleen Kennedy’s time as president of Lucasfilm is coming to an end.”

As well as swirling reports that she may be gone as early as September, it is being claimed that Kennedy is no longer directly involved with any of Lucasfilm’s current Star Wars projects.

The report added: “Kathleen Kennedy is also not involved at all creatively with John Favreaus’s live action TV series and the new Star Wars trilogy by the creators of Game of Thrones, DB Weiss and David Benioff. And even’s Rian Johnson’s new Star Wars trilogy.

“This sounds like Kennedy is leaving soon, either being fired or stepping down.”

This follows a widely circulated story earlier this month that Kennedy could announce her successor at Lucasfilm in September.

The report in influential Hollywood newsletter The Ankler also suggested that Kennedy may be tired of all the attacks and negativity, plus a punishing workload.

It said: “While Kathleen Kennedy worked wonders relaunching this property from the abyss of the Lucas prequel trilogy and turning it into a bigger than ever all-devouring cultural force, there has to be more than some thought that it’s time for new blood at the helm. The talk out there is of a September changing of the guards.”

The report adds: “There’s also plenty of reason to believe that Kennedy herself is tiring of this. The fights, the bad press – can’t be fun after a very gilded career…”

It seems hard to believe that the head of Lucasfilm is not actually involved creatively with any ongoing projects, inclusing Star Wars 9, but the situation has reached such a level that Marvel boss Kevin Feige was publicly asked directly this week if he would be taking over Lucasfilm.

Feige said he would not but the fact that the subject is now in the public domain means Disney must be aware of the damage it is causing the company’s credibility and public perception.

Disney recently released a statement through its subsidiary ABC News denying that the Obi-wan movie and Rian Johnson’s trilogy had been put on hold. Surely a statement regarding Kennedy’s fate must follow soon.

Forget Kylo Ren and the First Order, a galaxy much closer to home has been having some serious problems recently.

After the Han Solo movie performed shockingly badly there were claims that it was partly due to a boycott by fans furious about The Last Jedi. Numerous reports and rumours foloowed that Disney and Lucasfilm were being forced to reconsider various upcoming projects.

First there was a report in Deadline that the future Anthology Star Wars Story movies including Obi-wan and Boba Fett projects had been put on indefinite hold.

Then a more drastic rumour surfaced that Last Jedi director Rian Johnson could lose his spin-off trilogy.

A major article by US broadcaster ABC revealed an aofficial statement by Disney on the subject.

It said: “Lucasfilm sources on Thursday characterized as “inaccurate” a report that future Star Wars movies falling outside of the regular trilogy storyline (Episodes I to IX) have been put on hold in the wake of the box office under-performance of Solo: A Star Wars Story.

“Instead, Lucasfilm told ABC News there are still “multiple” Star Wars films currently in development that have not been officially announced.”

“Those projects are moving forward separate from an already-announced Star Wars trilogy being overseen by The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson and another series of movies from Game of Thrones producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss.”

It is worth noting that ABC is also owned by Lucasfilm parent company Disney.

While the statement sets the facts straight, it is also a clear indication that Disney has felt the need to address the swirling rumors which can only harm the integrity and strength of the entire Star Wars franchise moving forward.

Is Disney worried?

Solo: A Star Wars Story has taken $ 353million worldwide since its release. The previous Anthology movie, Rogiue One, took just over a billion.

Solo is also reported to be the most expensive Star wars movie ever, after the considerable reshoots ordered when the original directors were fired. At the current time, it is expected to be the first Star Wars movie to lose money, a concept that was previously unthinkable.

The Last Jedi cracked $ 1.3billion, far down on The Force Awakens $ 2billion.

Are the fans abandoning Star Wars and what will Disney do about it?

Could the all-powerful head of Lucasfilm be flying ‘Solo’ after the summer?

A new report warns: “The talk out there is of a September changing of the guards.”

This refers to growing rumours that Kenendy is under huge pressure after the disastrous box office performance of the Han Solo movie. The legendary producer has run Lucasfilm since 2012, when George Lucas sold his studio to Disney.

Although industry pundits and some sites support the studio head, there has been an extraordinary backlash against the Star Wars franchise and specifically Kennedy herself since the divisive Last Jedi hit cinemas. The remarkably poor performance of Solo is being attributed in part to a massive ongoing fan boycott of Star Wars movies.

Money talks in Hollywood. It may be a dream factory but is also the film business and the business of show only works when the tills are ringing.

Kenendy authorised the hiring and then firing of Solo directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller which necessitated reshoots which experst estimate may have almost double teh final cost of the movie.

It needs around $ 500million just to break even, but is currently languishing on $ 274million worldwide after a poor opening fortnight, with further drops predicted.

The Last Jedi also took $ 1.3billion, against The Force Awakens $ 2billion. Still impressive, but with much talk again that core fans were abandoning the franchise in protest at changes of tone and treatment of iconic characters. 

With two major new trilogies being planned by Rian Johnson and the Game of Thrones creators, plus spin-off movies for Obi-Wan Kenobi and Bobo Fett, Disney will be eyeing the recent figures nervously. 

The new reports in influential Hollywood newsletter The Ankler also suggest that Kennedy may be tired of all the attacks and negativity, plus a punishing workload.

It says: “While Kathleen Kennedy worked wonders relaunching this property from the abyss of the Lucas prequel trilogy and turning it into a bigger than ever all-devouring cultural force, there has to be more than some thought that it’s time for new blood at the helm. The talk out there is of a September changing of the guards.”

The report adds: “There’s also plenty of reason to believe that Kennedy herself is tiring of this. The fights, the bad press – can’t be fun after a very gilded career…

“This whole thing is just looking adrift, on-screen and off. Behind the scenes, there are the director changes, the last minute scrambles, the press tours overwhelmed by explaining the messy product. For the film blogger/media world to be raising eyebrows of skepticism against Star Wars, takes a lot. And that’s where they are. On screen, prequels, standalones, new visions, fidelity to the old vision – it’s completely confused where all this is headed, both narratively and just in terms of creative vision.”

Many fans and industry figures are looking to George Lucas’ acolyte Dave Filoni to be the man to ‘save’ Star Wars.

The Last Jedi divided fans and took $ 800million less than The Force Awakens.

Shouled Disney be worried? Can those angry fans feel vindicated and take comfort that the movie they slammed has performed badly?

Mark Hamill has just blasted Disney for releasing too many Star Wars movies too close together.

Is he right? Have they diluted the appeal of the beloved franchise?

Calculating box office performance is a tricky business.

Everybody marvels at huge final totals, but the studios do not receive the full box office take. The cinemas retain a large percentage of the ticket price.

The studios don’t just pay for the movie to be made, there are also considerable eye-watering amounts spent on the marketing campaigns.

The Last Jedi curretly has a final box office total of $ 1.332billion against The Force Awakens’ enormous #2.07billion.

The latest figures calculated by Deadline reveal just how much profit Star Wars 8 has made for Disney.

The studio actually drove a record-breaking deal with cinemas, demanding an unprecedented cut from ticket prices, which meant Diseny took home $ 995.8million.

After all the associated costs of making and marketing the movie, Disney has been left with a profit of $ 417.5million.

This comfortably makes The Last Jedi the most profitable film of the year.

So why the huge drop from Episode 7?

It is still possible than some of the intensely negative word of mouth reduced the expected repeat visits from hardcore fans.

The Force Awakens also had the unique advantage of being so desperately awaited for years. Rather like Black Panther, it was also an “event movie” that even transcended its own franchise.

Either way, The performance of The Last Jedi means Disney will likely note the dissent from some fans, but carry on regardless.

Amazon devices have taken root in our homes with almost alarming speed, but the tech giant hasn’t gotten everything right. Back in 2014, Amazon released the Fire Phone, an ambitious smartphone that remains the company’s biggest hardware flop to date. The comapany has never confirmed how many Fire Phones it sold, but considering Amazon took a $ 170 million write-down in October of that year, it’s fair to say the device bombed.

While the Fire Phone was a punchline and a commercial failure, it did lead to good things — eventually. In a conversation with Engadget at CES, Sandeep Gupta, Amazon’s Technical Program Manager for Fire TV, suggested that the teams and processes built to make the Fire Phone reality also made possible the impressive hardware ecosystem we now see.

“Building the phone was sort of a trial by fire,” Gupta said before groaning at his pun. “It was a very intense product, and we learned so much. And the teams we built from the Fire Phone have helped seed a lot of the other teams. You’ll see people on the Echo team, the TV team, the tablet team who got their start on the Phone team.”

If Amazon’s teams learned a lot, it’s because they needed to achieve a lot. The Fire Phone wasn’t Amazon’s first hardware project; a handful of Kindles came before, not to mention a few Fire tablets and Fire TV set-top boxes. But the Phone presented fresh technical challenges for Amazon to grapple with.

“The phone is, without a doubt, one of the hardest working hardware products you can build,” Gupta said. “They’re very compact. You’ve got antennas, you’ve got an ecosystem, you’ve got an app store, you’ve got content services, you’ve got the whole kit and caboodle.”

It didn’t help that the Fire Phone was designed to be more complex than rival smartphones from the get-go. Four front-facing sensors tried to track the motion of user’s heads so some of the images that appeared on-screen would move with them. And since the Fire Phone was intended to be a kind of concierge for Amazon’s massive online store, we got Firefly: a feature that allowed people to scan everyday objects around them for identification and eventual purchase. That’s one hell of an undertaking, but Amazon powered through despite a relative lack of experience.

Along the way, Gupta says, Amazon was forced to figure out the intricacies of small-scale hardware design, not to mention more efficient ways to work with chipset vendors and manufacturers. Amazon also had countless other questions to answer. How do you define your product? What are the milestones in development to work toward? While the answers to those questions weren’t complete, they were enough to prepare Amazon to do better in the future.

“The engineering excellence was there,” Gupta said. “That’s what continued to flow through the organization and allowed us to get to where we are.”

If Amazon had learned those lessons sooner, the Fire Phone might not have turned out the way it did. Still, even though it languished on store shelves, the Fire Phone itself wasn’t a bad device. The hardware was expensive but functional. The software was overly ambitious, but it was impressive when it worked. Amazon (perhaps wisely) decided not to use its refined understanding of the development process to build another phone, but Gupta is adamant that the company’s “trial by fire” made subsequent devices like the Echos and the improved Fire TVs better.

“We took those learnings and now we’ve been able to apply them to a lot of the other products we’re building,” Gupta said. “And sometimes you learn what to do by learning what not to do.”

Borthwick-Jackson, who is due to spend the season at Elland Road, was named in Thomas Christiansen’s starting XI for the first time since October.

Unsurprisingly, he looked rusty at left-back and was replaced on the hour mark for skipper Liam Cooper.

As League Two side Newport fought back to claim a famous win, angry Leeds fans took to Twitter to demand Borthwick-Jackon’s return to Old Trafford. 

One supporter said: “Send Borthwick-Jackson back to scum he’s f****** s****.”

Another said: “Hopefully the last we see of Borthwick-Jackson. Absolute rubbish.”

While a third added: “Borthwick-Jackson might have the talent, but he’s got a f****** s*** attitude and shows no interest whatsoever.”

One furious fan said: “Never want to see Borthwick-Jackson in a Leeds shirt again. Bone idle.”

Another added: “Borthwick Jackson is not a professional footballer. Hilarious that he’s on the books at Man Utd, they must be desperate.”

While another supporter said: “Anyone up for a Crowd Funding page to send Borthwick-Jackson back to scum.”

.

Borthwick-Jackson has not featured for Leeds in a Championship fixture since his debut against Preston North End in August.

Reading are reportedly interested in signing the 20-year-old if his Leeds deal is scrapped. 

Leeds appeared to be on the verge of reaching Round Four thanks to Gaetano Berardi’s first ever goal but Conor Shaughnessy’s own goal and Shawn McCoulsky’s late header earned Newport a famous win.

in injury time for an off-the-ball incident.
