Yep. For reference, it got 70% from Rotten Tomatoes, which, while isn't the upper echelons, is decent. However...

I do think that people just got Star Wars fatigue far quicker than Disney thought they would. Probably should have held off on the separate films until after the sequel trilogy.
From my own experience. I saw Rogue One in the theater, along with Episode 7 and Episode 8. I did not see Solo in the theater. I don't know how much that was because I wasn't all that interested in a Solo backstory film and how much of it was because I really thought Episode 8 was meh (and Solo came very soon afterwards).
