    The “Star Wars” galaxy just shrank.

    Lucasfilm has put plans “on hold” for more spinoff films like “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” Collider reported Wednesday.

    Citing “sources with knowledge of the situation,” the entertainment news site said the franchise will laser in on “Star Wars: Episode IX” and the next trilogy that springs from the original core of movies.

    That means reported plans for Obi-Wan and Boba Fett movies are apparently cosmic dust for now, according to Collider.

    The “Star Wars” trend of its films making money hand over fist came to a somewhat crashing end with the release of “Solo: A Star Wars Story.”

    The spinoff had a disappointing three-day opening weekend total of $84.4 million, and suffered a 65 percent plummet in box office the following weekend, according to Box Office Mojo. The film came in fourth in the latest ticket-sales list, and has made $196 million domestically and $147 million internationally as of June 19.

    “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” raked in a relatively healthy $155 million on its opening weekend when it premiered in December 2016, and has earned more than $1 billion worldwide.

    Quoted from bowz:

    Don’t know why it did bad at the box office

    Star Wars is big. The history of the franchise showcases big sounding space opera type story lines. On it's face "Solo" or "Boba" or ?"Ackbar" just sound smaller and more boring. That, and the whole, too many movies too quickly thing. Star Wars historically came out every ?3 years or so and it built up some anticipation. You knew this was going to happen as soon as Lucas sold it to disney...that first year there was an explosion of merchandising and "tie-ins"...cars that are somehow linked to Star Wars...wtf? Stupid plan. Overload. Killing it. Burning people out.
