Initial reactions to Solo are very positive. I expect @Rancid-Schnitzel will hate it.
If there’s more then 2 lines of dialogue spoken by a strong female character then yes it will be hated by a couple ferners
That's absolutely pathetic Virgil. We can have our differences here but I thought you were better than that.
Further to this: A New Hope had Leia talking back to DV and Moff Tarkin at the same time when she was 19 fucken years old! If that's not a strong female character I don't know what is.
She wasn’t Asian or have purple hair
Yes that's why those characters were hated. Are we trying to bring racism into the mix now too?
I didn’t bring it in, a good chunk of the trolls who kept hijacking Star Wars media posts on fb etc were.
I even made the point previously that if both those characters were men most of the hate wouldn’t happen.We all dislike movies but I’ve never seen a particular movie trolled and brought up in such a way so often as this move has been. We get it you didn’t like it, why keep bringing it up, pretty much any time someone says they like it there’s someone quick to jump in and remind everyone how much it sucked.
Sure Virgil, it's only because they're women. I mean the male characters never cop any hate. Only the female ones. All the vitriol against the prequels was directed at Padme wasn't it? Maybe just maybe they actually are really shity characters? But I guess it's so much easier to use the racism or mysogeny cards rather than actually provide good reasons for why you believe you're right. Just a thought.
Maybe these films are being trolled because people are sick of their beloved films being completely fucked over and ruined?
They're not for most of us .... And anyway, how does you not liking the latest film effect your love of the older ones? I find Phantom Menace (and I tried recently) unwatchable - it doesn't ruin the original trilogy or the new two and Rogue One for me.
Most of us, as in you and Virgil. If the new films are shit then Star Wars is being ruined. It's really not a hard concept to grasp.
Bollocks, the shittiness of the prequels didn't ruin the Originals for me. If they ruin it for you then that's your issue.

Speaking as someone who grew up with the original trilogy as a kid ( I was 5 when New Hope came out) I’ve thoroughly enjoyed these 3 new movies to date.
I genuinely feel sorry for anyone who believes they are a Star Wars fan but have so much hate for the new trilogy and stand alone films. -

Rogue One is awesome TFA is pretty good it's only TLJ I don't particularly like.

Yeah they were let downs on the whole
But they are still Star Wars, flaws and all
I still watch them occasional and appreciate the good things. Just they aren’t as good as the originals. -

Wouldn't say most of us. TLJ has been torn apart by loads of critics.
Really? Strange it has a 91% score on rotten tomatoes. A site that tracks critics reviews based on positive vs negative reviews

Personally, for me, the 3rd one could be the worst Star Wars film ever (to everyone, not just you and Rancid) and these latest 3 would top the prequels for me. I've watched the prequels twice each (and the second time round I forced myself) and likely never will again. I happily rewatched the latest two and Rogue One.

AOTC
TFA

TLJ -
I have enough faith in Ron Howard that Solo will be a decent addition to the franchise. And I doubt Alden Ehrenreich can be any worse than Hayden Christensen.
I haven't watched Eps 1-3 since the buildup to The Force Awakens. But like I've done for all the Star Wars movies I will see it at the cinema.

Bollocks, the shittiness of the prequels didn't ruin the Originals for me. If they ruin it for you then that's your issue.
I didn't say they ruin the original films per se but they ruin the franchise. Considering also that they've just killed off 2 of the 3 original stars and made all their accomplishments irrelevant, they have unfortunately put a bit of a dampener on the originals. The prequels couldn't really do that because Han, Luke and Leila werent even in them (except as babies of course). So a pretty stupid comparison there.

Initial reactions to Solo are very positive. I expect @Rancid-Schnitzel will hate it.
If there’s more then 2 lines of dialogue spoken by a strong female character then yes it will be hated by a couple ferners
That's absolutely pathetic Virgil. We can have our differences here but I thought you were better than that.
Further to this: A New Hope had Leia talking back to DV and Moff Tarkin at the same time when she was 19 fucken years old! If that's not a strong female character I don't know what is.
She wasn’t Asian or have purple hair
Yes that's why those characters were hated. Are we trying to bring racism into the mix now too?
I didn’t bring it in, a good chunk of the trolls who kept hijacking Star Wars media posts on fb etc were.
I even made the point previously that if both those characters were men most of the hate wouldn’t happen.We all dislike movies but I’ve never seen a particular movie trolled and brought up in such a way so often as this move has been. We get it you didn’t like it, why keep bringing it up, pretty much any time someone says they like it there’s someone quick to jump in and remind everyone how much it sucked.
Sure Virgil, it's only because they're women. I mean the male characters never cop any hate. Only the female ones. All the vitriol against the prequels was directed at Padme wasn't it? Maybe just maybe they actually are really shity characters? But I guess it's so much easier to use the racism or mysogeny cards rather than actually provide good reasons for why you believe you're right. Just a thought.
Maybe these films are being trolled because people are sick of their beloved films being completely fucked over and ruined?
They're not for most of us .... And anyway, how does you not liking the latest film effect your love of the older ones? I find Phantom Menace (and I tried recently) unwatchable - it doesn't ruin the original trilogy or the new two and Rogue One for me.
Most of us, as in you and Virgil. If the new films are shit then Star Wars is being ruined. It's really not a hard concept to grasp.
Speaking as someone who grew up with the original trilogy as a kid ( I was 5 when New Hope came out) I’ve thoroughly enjoyed these 3 new movies to date.
I genuinely feel sorry for anyone who believes they are a Star Wars fan but have so much hate for the new trilogy and stand alone films.But hang on, haven't you had a go at the prequels?
Yeah they were let downs on the whole
But they are still Star Wars, flaws and all
I still watch them occasional and appreciate the good things. Just they aren’t as good as the originals.This argument that "it's Star Wars" is so weak. It's like loving everything a certain band records even if they're just farting in the studio.

I still watch them occasional and appreciate the good things. Just they aren’t as good as the originals.Fair enough, nothing is, I still reckon film for film they're better than the latest two. It would take an absolutely brilliant third movie for me to change my mind on this.
Personally, for me, the 3rd one could be the worst Star Wars film ever (to everyone, not just you and Rancid) and these latest 3 would top the prequels for me. I've watched the prequels twice each (and the second time round I forced myself) and likely never will again. I happily rewatched the latest two and Rogue One.
I totally disagree. I thought 3 was excellent. 1 and 2 were pretty shit although 2 at least had the arena scene and Yoda fighting. But that's my opinion. I'm not going to claim it's because you hate women or children. Or that you hate the prequels because all the storm troopers are brown.

Wouldn't say most of us. TLJ has been torn apart by loads of critics.
Really? Strange it has a 91% score on rotten tomatoes. A site that tracks critics reviews based on positive vs negative reviews
That was a good read, so thanks. And this for me sums it all up:-
An idea I’ve seen bandied about a lot online in the wake of the backlash is that Star Wars is for everyone, not just a certain subset of fans who feel a certain way about the projects. Whether you love Rey or Luke best, whether you think Jar Jar Binks is hilarious or not, whether you think Han shot first or not — Star Wars is for you, and for everybody who disagrees with you too.

Looks like we might be getting an Obi Wan film in 2020. Not confirmed though
How about that Boba Fett film? Now that would be epic. Is it Cannon that he's still alive or is that still a mystery?

Not canon as far as I know, but easily changed. Seems like a no brainer to me, but have not seen anything about it since they canned it.
