    This movie knows where it wants all its characters to be at certain times but gives ZERO s*its about how and why they get there.

    more Solo movie but still relevant.

    Doubt I would be going to this if I had a child.

    also some what of a spoiler as it talks about lando but you probably already heard as its everywhere currently.

    pansexual = wants to have sex with anything and everyone regardless of gender, age, etc.

    They would need to turn chewie trans first.



    still making lando pansexual is just pathetic. Which is just a nice way of saying.. wants to have sex with men and woman while sweeping the part under the rug of also wanting to have sex with children.

    which is why I would never take a child to see the Solo movie.

    grammar edit.

    And there was no reason to change him. Also would he have sex with a school girl who is the embodiment of a star destoryer?

    Welp... We had some good times Star Wars, but it's time I let you go. You're not the franchise you once were. Good night, sweet prince.

    Disney did what George Lucas could not. They ruined star wars. Well at least the movies. Because rebels was pretty good.

    Last Jedi had it's issues, but honestly most of those weren't any worse than the J.J. Abrams Star Trek. I think you people are fanboy to hard.

    Nah, it's not that at all. How am I fanboying? I generally enjoy SciFi, but Star Wars was always a mixed bag for me. I like the setting, but hated the dark vs light "philosophy for babies" and focus on space wizards. With the exception of the original trilogy and some of the expanded universe stuff, I just find the writing terrible. Disney pretty much buried all the aspects of the franchise I enjoyed. As someone who was never emotionally invested in the franchise to begin with, I think my reasons for writing off any new installments at this point are entirely justified.

    If you want to talk fanboyism, despite being a huge fan of Battletech, I will readily admit that the Jihad-era stuff for Battletech was trash. Just because I like something doesn't mean I won't call it for bullshit when I see it.

    If I were a fanboy, I'd readily admit it. This however is not a case of fanboyism. Besides my feelings on what I consider to be a political agenda this dumpster fire tries to push on it's audience, poor choices in editing, character development (lack thereof) and how the story unfolded in quite a few spots leads me to my strong dislike for TLJ.

    Ask why someone doesn't like something before you assume anything. :unamused:

    Star wars is also more on the space fantasy than sci-fi side of the spectrum. They should put Dave filoni in charge. Sure he does animated stuff but Rebels has pretty much been the only good thing Disney has produced. Rogue one was okay. But the two trilogy movies were rather meh if not outright terrible. Solo looks like it will be terrible. The games are terrible ( but that's on EA probably more than Disney).

    Yeah, I actually enjoyed this movie for what it was (the world would be a poorer place without that Praetorian Guard fight) and will probably go see Solo and have a good time and carry on not really giving a crap about who Lando snogs, but honestly the criticism I've seen of the direction the films are taking seems totally reasonable. The original trilogy has a near-mythological place in American culture and for good reason. Disney may have bought it but that doesn't mean it belongs to them. They absolutely should be expected to treat the franchise better than as just a bunch of easy cash grabs.

    Finally got around to watching this last weekend and I'm still trying to process everything. I enjoyed parts of it, but mostly I walked away from it going "Wait, what? Why?"

    Pros:
    • The "Fuck You!" hyperspace maneuver
    • The Praetorian fight
    • The stuttering jail guy
    • Luke being a crotchety old man
    • Snoke's death/hubris
    Cons:
    • Holy shit the plot armor
      • Somehow the force protects you from explosive decompression?
      • The Praetorian Guard would have absolutely wiped the floor with those two
    • Fuck Rose
      • She killed Jack (wait, wrong movie)
      • She is not a hero. She saved the man she loved by nearly killing the entire Rebellion.
    • Who the fuck builds the Praetorian armor!? "Alright, let's make the bracers able to block lightsabers." "Should we do the same thing to the breastplate and helmet?" "Fuck that, budget cuts."
    • Remember when making the jump to hyperspace meant you had time to talk to the rest of the crew, have character development and train a fucking jedi? Nope, now you can jump to a random planet, search for a guy, get arrested, break out, start a child's rebellion, save the animals, and jump back in a 6 hour window.
    • Luke brushing the dust off his shoulder.
    • Fuck the gerbil/penguin things. I would have rather had JarJar back than have that shit in the movie. I wish Chewie had eaten the one he cooked and kept the rest as space snacks.
