The real problem with SW explained.

Anyone who uses insults like Cup Cake or the overuse of Incels has completly lost all validity in anything they say.

I am anti-religion. I am bi-sexual. The only thing correct is that I am white. But why would this matter?
Oh yea, because you HAVE to be a racist womenhater to hate these movies right? My god you are thickheaded.

The discussions here are how we were RIGHT about Kathleen Kennedy and about Star Wars and it shows in the SOLO boxoffice and responds. So I am perfectly fine here in the Solo forums. You on the other hand are the ONLY one going on this mad moral crusade of yours so I would advice you to just take a hike to the Ghostbusters 2016 forum and continue your moral crusade there, nobody here is interested in your stupid rambling.

Wrong. Trump picked up steam when he amplified the problem of illegal immigration. He did so in a pathetically clumsy way, but that's really what carried him to the presidency. He also tapped into the frustrations of tens of millions of people who are sick of the likes of you, who call them racists, anti-women, etc., without knowing the first thing about them and being closed minded to reasoned arguments and examples of the hateful bigotry emanating from so-called "progressives" that dominate the media and entertainment industries.

You people are the ones who put race, gender, sexual orientation, etc before what's right. You love to use identity politics and judge people by what they are on the outside, then by their character.

''That's a very extreme perspective tainted with subjective opinion and I find it hard to take seriously.'''
I dunno man, when Kathleen Kennedy (head of Lucasfilm) says that the Force is female and that her first priority was to make the Lucasfilm Story Group be majority female, it does kinda make sense.

Its nothing subjective, thats the funny part. ALL these things have been confirmed by directors, producers, writers. Its the team behind Lucasfilm that says they are focused on these points.

Indeed. The squeaky wheel getting grease and the nail that sticks out getting the hammer.

It's a sign of our times. Internet "debating" is devolving into people shouting at each other from the barricades and the moderate views get ignored.

There's plenty of room for valid criticism of the new SW films. They certainly aren't high art and the writing is, in my opinion, pretty suspect. But this is drowned out by bigoted sexists hurling expletives at anything and everything they don't like. And there's no denying that there has been a lot of this happening.

I haven't seen Solo yet and I wasn't planning on seeing it at the theater either but my son went and said it was great so perhaps I'll reconsider. According to him all the things people gripe and moan about, like Lando's pansexuality, aren't even in the movie. It's just a case of people trying really hard to see what they want to see and interpreting everything with the worst intentions.

Marvel comics have been putting out material for far longer then SW has even existed, there are more books about individual characters than SW will likely ever have. It has a base to draw from that is considerably larger, and these characters have so much more depth because many have had decades of stories behind them. Even if you were to put all the lead characters from all the canon SW together it is a group that would pale in comparison, even if you were to include characters from the superior crop of EU books that were wiped out by Disney you would still be looking uphill at Marvel and its cast of characters and backgrounds. Star Wars best and most popular characters are still those created in the OT 40 years ago. I agree that Star Wars is a massive universe you can create in, however that is no comparison to a universe that is already packed full of lead characters and stories like Marvel.
