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.
He's not only white he's straight too. Damn him.

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

"Lando used to be my favourite character until I found out he fucked the Cloud City ice cream machine."
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.

Google Lando Pansexual. The younger Kasdan (I'm sure he's there based on talent, no nepotism whatsoever) is disturbingly enthusiastic about it.

What a load of bollocks that is. If they want to make Lando a swinger who had sexual tension with Han it was missed on me

It wasn't in the film with Han, but they heavily hint at something with the droid.
Yep. Hated that bit.
I was thinking with said Droid, Qu'ira, Woodys girlfriend and the leader of that gang of smugglers there were more strong females than a SJW could shake a stick at. I wonder if that'll appease the millennials?

If Roses purpose was to be the most irritating character in SW history she nailed it with aplomb.
