They forgot to mention exactly why Solo bombed so bad. "The Last Jedi" was a shock to a lot of Star Wars fans and made them realize Disney had hoodwinked them for at least 5 years (since they bought Lucasfilm). Solo came out just a few months after TLJ, and the pain and anger caused by the previous film was still fresh in people's minds. So pair that with using a really crappy backstory for Solo (as well as using a mediocre actor that looks nothing like Harrison Ford and did a terrible rendition of Han) while completely ignoring the much better story from the trilogy of books that came out in the 90s, and you had a perfect storm for a Star Wars movie bomb.
