I just find it crazy that pretend is taken so seriously by adults. I love movies but also realise they are just props/cgi and humans doing stuff
sigh... I have kept out of this thread as frankly it is pretty boring. But Hooroo's comments are just naive, patronising and arrogant (quite a combination really) .
The battle over culture is real, movies and other arts play a pivotal role in that and politics is directly downstream from culture, so actually the messages these movies send can be massive... if glacial.The concerns about Disney political activism are very real. Often the stuff said about the movie by execs is fucking foul and unnecessary. Make a good movie, market it and let people enjoy the fluff. I do NOT want to know that Lando is aroused by small children, trees and toasters. I don't need some Disney exec spouting off about that crap.
Most SJW stuff in films flies right over my head, but when it is forced down my throat by directors producers and execs I generally just don't go to that film or buy that game. I dont spend my $ on a film in which the behind the camera people act like preaching obnoxious twunts.
Kennedy at Lucas films is TOXIC. She is ruining a film series and also ruining a Star Wars culture that was frankly amazing in that it was based on 3 low budget films from the 70's! It was some serious magic, and she and her SJW buddies are pissing all over it... they just have no respect for hardcore fans at all. Luckily I am not a hard core fan... I am a tepid fan at best. So for me there are 2 reasons I will likely not see Solo.- Timing... just watched Deadpool2 and Avengers.
- SJW execs telling me how a character is aroused by small children... and toasters.

Oh FFS, if everything in life is seen through political eyes and that gets your back up then you’ll be a miserable git in no time.
I went to these movies and they are the only movies I have been to in probably the last 10 years apart from Everest. I enjoyed them for what they were. Entertainment.
If they were good I watched again on video/download, if not I didn’t bother.
Certainly not worth getting uptight about.
If the film makers think they need to be obviously inclusive to capture audiences then that’s their business decision. If it comes across dorky then it will backfire in takings. Isn’t that free market at work? No one is forcing you or your kids to watch. -
Thanks for the info. I always thought it was compulsory to watch every movie. My diary just got way clearer.
Unfortunately you seem to havd got confused about who bought lusting after babies and toasters into star wars. Hint... it wasnt the fans. -
Horses, toasters... don’t think this thread can get any weirder.

Is that how you saw my comments? That's very weak of you. I doubt anyone else felt that way? If they did, I sincerely apologise (Well, not sincerely but an apology all the same)
Internetting.........Thumbs up!

As 'Solo: A Star Wars Story' Flops, Are Movies About White Men Box Office Poison?
Offering a generic white guy in a big-budget hero's journey fantasy actioner is no longer a guarantee of overseas box office glory.
Oh I see!
Damn whiteys! That's why it's doing so bad. Needed more social justice in it. Lets hope starwars IX learns from Solo's lesson.
As an aside I may actually watch this one based off of the reviews on tsf.

Shit this is an appallingly bad article. The premise is bad enough, but the knobjockey can't even get basic facts right.

I took CF Jnr along to Solo today, and after watching I don't know what all the fuss you are making is about. Lando was not in a sexual relationship with his droid second mate, she was just a strong character talking jibber jabber. And when she "died" Lando displayed no less emotion and grief than Luke when R2-D2 got hurt in the original films. Granted I have not read anything outside what I've read on here, I only judged the film and the characters based on what I saw today
Back to the film, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Visually there was a lot of different stuff going on; from the grubby Corellia opening to the WWI trench warfare style of Solo's time fighting for the empire, to the snowy mountain heist, to the maelstrom scenes which reminded me of the asteroid field chase in Empire (nice re-use of the music too), and the desert world scenes at the end.
I enjoyed the characters, Harrelson was excellent, the guy playing the lead was good enough, Lando was in a similar lane to Billy Dee's dapper version, and Emilia Clarke and Paul Bethany were great. The blurred lines between good/evil and allegiances were handled far better than in TLJ's clumsy attempt using Del Toro. I got to see how Han got his name, how he met Chewie, how he won the Falcon off Lando, and even a little tie in with Darth Maul. Was the rebellion that Enfys Nest was going to fund using the coaxium The Rebellion?
The film felt the most like the original films than any of the others and I would put it at the top of the non-original 3 movie list, with RO. It was fun and not over-complicated, not too preachy, just a rollicking heist film. And there was no debate about whether Han fired first this time!!

Mate, I've made it pretty clear I'm not parting with my hard earned to see the film. I presume that comment was based on the scriptwriter saying that Lando was pansexual and how important it was for him to have that kind of thing in Star Wars. Having established what a pansexual is, that's fucked up on so many levels.

That was your first mistake. I guess you won't be able to watch the film without being triggered. Which is a shame. I think I read here that the scriptwriters did ROJ and Empire? It certainly felt more like it

Just googled. Did people involved in the movie say that it was their intention to make Lando this way? If they did I think they are taking the piss. He was just your typical metrosexual gangster with a love of fine clothing. No scenes of him trying to jump Lando or Qi'ra anywhere, not even implied

Actually I think I would enjoy this film (my trust in @MN5 runs marrow deep) but I will not shell out another cent until the Lucas Film loons get the arse. This box office response has been a hammer blow.
