It's been a rough ride for Star Wars of late, first there was the backlash over The Last Jedi then the lacklustre response to Solo: A Star Wars Story.

Now it seems as if the Star Wars franchise isn't as untouchable as it would seem.

Before you get all panicked the rumours of "course correction" it seems as if that particular rumour is overblown.

It does seem as if Disney is having a rethink though.

The annual LEGO Star Wars Day at LEGOLAND California is the main issue at the moment.

Fan site Rebel Scum reports that the Spring event there has been cancelled, making this year the lat one for a few years.

It says quoting an unnamed source that “the motivation was to refocus expenditure and limit Star Wars exposure to reset the franchise and allow fans to heal.”

There's plenty of debate to be had over what a "reset" means but having a break isn't outside the realms of possibility.

Fans can take heart in the fact one 'bomb' and a few negative comments do not crash down a whole franchise, at least not yet.

Hopefully we'll get a better idea where Star Wars is going after Episode IX is released on December 20, 2019.

For now it's back to theories and speculation.
