Solo: A Star Wars Story

Wow! Trying to get caught up on a day's worth of this thread is a pretty intense task. Lots of entertainment, though.

And I find it funny that anyone can be surprised to discover that a bulk of a discussion about the latest Star Wars movie has nothing to do with Star Wars. We can all thank LFL/Disney for that.

If film-makers/studios are making it an objective of theirs to inject social/political messaging into their movies, then it's absurd to expect the subjects being brought up in the films to be avoided by the audience in discussing those films. I don't see how it can be an expectation that people engaged in a conversation about a new Star Wars movie would avoid discussing the inclusion of elements that were never present in previous Star Wars movies.

I think I'm safe in saying that no one in these Star Wars movie threads wanted to end up discussing social/political issues. They wanted to discuss Star Wars. But if Star Wars films are going to be making it a point to start introducing social/political narratives and messaging, then of course there will be discussion of that. And, a strong objection to any change in the Star Wars formula should be expected amongst a group of fans who loved the traditional formula.

Lots of passionate discussion existed when all we had was the OT. Most of that discussion was about positive reflections of the movies, and conjecture about off-screen stuff. The prequels generated plenty of discussion too; not so positive, but still about Star Wars. Many of the same fans were part of both discussions. Now these fans are talking about social/political messaging instead of just sticking to Star Wars. Why? Because film-makers decided that Star Wars needed to start being about more than just Star Wars.

Discussions about Star Wars movies will go back to being exclusively about Star Wars when Star Wars movies go back to being exclusively about Star Wars.

No I would not because you are sexualizing it.

All I am pointing out is that for many men in the culture of sports, a smack on the butt in a game or the fact that men happen to uses a community shower after the game is not in the least bit about sexuality; nor is saying "let's go baby" to a teammate to cheer them on. Culture context matters. And because these things can vary in different cultures to be viewed as sexual in some and not sexual in others demonstrates that such behavior is not somehow universally or intrinsically sexual.

So lando is a football player

Now you are literally creating fan fiction to support your point baby


Arent these stupid movies taking place in a galaxy far far away?

Lando is not american, hes not even human. Hes an alien surrounded by robots and giant dogs and crap.

But he talks like an American sports player

You should send this message to the mods.

How can we not talk about the socio political aspects of this movie when the studio and kennedy are literally injecting it into the movies....

You dont think disney tells journalists to write about the pamsexual stuff?

Thank you sir. I wont even call you baby,thank you brother

He makes a good point. It’s almost as if LFL/Disney knows how special SW is to some people, tried to play on that for a new gen and failed.

You're welcome, . . . (insert preferred label/identification/acronym here)

Yeah, should be common sense: if it's a part of the movie-making goals/agendas/finished product, it's going to have to be talked about.

Well, if you were actually following along about what I have actually been saying you will know that I don't know the context of what happend in the movie because I haven't seen the movie and was asking about the context and not proposing or defending a particular view of the film. I only made the point that the the phrase "buckle up baby" may not be sexual in of itself and gave an example of why and how that could be.

As for the movie, despite the fictional setting, the movie is actually largely part of modern American story telling, so despite being told it takes place in some "alien" culture it in actuality can not be removed far from it's American cultural influences.

You seem like a poor listener, highly reactionary and just ready to argue and be outraged. Pretty typical for online forums and the way people fail to engage thoughtfully in general in our culture. I think more and more people just interact this way without thinking these days because it has become so common. But slow down, listen, and stop arguing just for the sake of arguing.

you're...

is just ignorant over reaction without actually considering what is actually being said and what isn't.

Yes baby

These movies are made for the millenial generation.
Kennedy makes these movies for the girls in her life.
These movies are NOT for us.

They are NOT even for prequel fans.
These movies are created to gather new fans. Thats why they have so much political sjw stuff in them
Because thats what milkenials like.

I wont be surprised if the next villain is modeled after trump

No ONE does that in spanish. Or mandarin. Or indian. NOWHERE
