I’m not a fan of the prequels either. The third one had a few good moments, but otherwise, those movies were forgettable.

I’m a big Star Wars fan and I think he’s right. Not about white supremacy, but about Solo. Fans killed a good movie without even seeing it. It was very unfair.

I don't care if it's good. Star Wars has turned to the dark side, and now it needs to be destroyed. It needs to be wrecked as a financial property, and so far as i'm concerned, spreading the allegation that it is bad is in the best interest of America.

Disney is evil, and turns everything it touches into more evil.

More likely just another white idiot.

The production team at Disney has basically said they don’t want straight white males watching the new Star Wars movies because they weren’t made for us. They proudly wear shirts that say “The force is female” and in not so many words want us to F off and die.

So, no. I don’t care if Solo is the best of all the Star Wars movies because my boycott has nothing to do with output, but input. I’m not giving them any of my coins until their production team is purged of people who hate my very existence.

Hollywood must die! And the only way to kill it is to stop supporting the cash cow franchises, like Star Wars that subsidize the rest of their garbage.

I agree, and I cannot help but wonder why many on this forum are not seeing this. Why give Disney money once they've made it clear they hate you? Hate them back. Don't go see their movie unless you can do it for free.

Good movie or not, if you (expletive) in your dinner bowl too often, people will notice. I’m done with SW, and I don’t even need to see the last two.

They need to remember that it’s supposed to be ‘entertainment’ and lay off on the preaching, not that they’ll ever do that.

i completely agree, i think solo was a good movie.
but i also completely agree if someone wants to boycott everything starwars after TLJ also. they could not have made a worse movie if they deliberately set out with the intention of pissing off (most of) the fanbase.

then to top it all off, throwing lightning bolts of righteous indignation and insult at their fans.
i have zero sympathy for 'lucasfilm'. if they ever make another movie it will be too soon.

“...boycotting my upcoming Darth Vader annual issue.” The immature Wendig concludes that Disney’s Star Wars is hurting his product and then concludes that he must distance himself from the Disney Star Wars and fans. Well, both are boring. Star Wars was fun when I was 12 years old (big space ships, cool swords) and Disney was fun when I was 15 years old (sneaking in, meeting girls).

This is NFL-level disconnected from the fanbase. Please, keep going, Chuck. Star Wars needs to end.

Yep, it was a fun ride. I am sorry we won’t see more of Han Solo’s story, and I feel sorry for the actor. But no, the studio should not disrespect the fans.

“, but about Solo. Fans killed a good movie without even seeing it. It was very unfair.”

We already know what crap liberalism is. We don’t need to see it. Maybe if you’re 12 you don’t know, but we do.

I just saw this movie yesterday.

What else bugs me? We keep getting all these ENGLISH females. What are they trying to do, convince me again that these are exotic females?

Meanwhile none of the females they’ve had have exuded toughness like Carrie Fisher (for all her faults like liberalism).

Still the modern problem of trying to make naturally weak women seem like they’re tough. They don’t look tough and they don’t “feel” tough. The Golden Era had much better females.

Well you want a tough woman, then they need to bring the great Sybil Danning out of retirement. Now she was tough and gorgeous.

Do you have to be nasty when we’re just discussing a movie? I made my first professional writing bucks writing SW for West End Games. I really love the Solo character and would have enjoyed seeing more of his background in these films. My preference — I assume you can be more pleasant with your own opinions? Not trying to slam you, but...really.

I thought it was exciting, fun, and the actor playing Han did a great job. Actor playing Lando though just reminded me of a street punk trying to be suave. In the originals, Lando was BORN suave, and I doubt he needed to cheat at cards.

You and the liberals first. Try not being insulting and maybe we won’t reply in kind and hurt your poor widdle feelings.
