I think part of the reason Solo flopped might also have been franchise fatique, it only came out a few months after The Last Jedi. Also the bad press around the director switch.

There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

I think there were multiple reasons. All which have some validity. I don't think the release date was picked well either. That being said I like the movie. I am no expert in recasting iconic figures. But in my humble opinion is if you are going to do it, then wait until the generation that grew up with the figure is either to old to care, or dead. Then you have a chance. I don't mind recasting people. But a lot of people do. Its worked with spider-man and batman to some extent. But I don't think people attach those heros to a single actor. With Han Solo they just do. Personally I don't. But I think I am in the minority. To me Solo was a perfectly enjoyable Star Wars film. And most people who actually saw it don't have to much bad to say about it. Possibly one of the weirdest " flops" all time if you ask me. But there are reasons for it.
Like I said, the recasting was a big part of it. Especially since Ford had just been in a SW movie.
Not the only reason, but a major factor.

I agree that Solo was released at the wrong time, if they waited 3-6 months later, I think that it would have done much better. The Last Jedi had just come out. I'm sure a lot of people who even liked Jedi, probably weren't in the mood for another Star Wars movie so soon.
