Solo is clearly underperforming at the box office. As of June 1, 2018, the domestic box office take for the film is only $128 million. Just a few weeks ago, the projections had it doing $170 million in the first weekend. Is Star Wars in trouble?

Solo is a deep dive into Star Wars lore. There are dozens of Easter Eggs in the film. Of course, Darth Maul's appearance and L3 becoming the "brains" of the Falcon are some big ones. Other than those, here are our favorites!

The opening of Solo is an emotionally charged scene where Han is separated from his true love, Qi'ra, on Correllia. Han goes on to join the Empire and learn to fly. Qi'ra becomes a high up in Crimson Dawn. What if these two swapped places?

Why is Solo underperforming at the box office?

1. Bad time of the year 2. Too soon after TLJ 3. Boycott Solo 4. Other (comment)
