I’m surprised it took 18 posts. Thought for sure they’d start coming right out of the gate.

Yeah probably. Streep needs a career boost right now after the Weinstein scandal.

Streep is too ugly to play Leia even an old Leia
There - said it

I don’t care. Me and my boys used to watch everything Star Wars. Now we couldn’t give a damn about any of it.

Gadzooks... AA!

However, we all know Carrie... was a true liberal who believed in diversity--

So we should consider other... options.

Meryl Streep? I'm sure she'll be a head-turner as the princess...

There is no need to replace her. She died on one of the ships that were destroyed by the battle cruiser.

I thought it ended appropriately.

Will Jar Jar Binks be in this one?

He’s my favorite actor.

The choice of Streep fits the feminist-political direction they took the last episode they released.

Already under consideration for Jabba the Hut.

“I’m surprised it took 18 posts. Thought for sure they’d start coming right out of the gate.”

Why support a franchise that’s now simply a political vehicle for Disney and the Hollywood Virtue Signalers? The last episode was an embarrassing take-down of men and all things masculine. They should have opened the movie with a scene demonstrating the castration of Luke, and run the closing credits right after.

My new favorite trilogy is -

#3 "Revenge of the Sith"

"Rogue One"

#4 "A New Hope".

While "Empire" was a better movie, these three work the best together, IMO.

Saw #7 in the theater. Meh. Didn't bother with #8. Likely will skip #9 too. And this new "Solo" movie? Nothing new here, just red meat for fans of the character.

Again, all in my opinion...

I understand Rosie was turned down for that roll because her personality was too nasty to be a credible Jabba...
