>”Smooth talking, suave ladies man” is exactly what Lando was and always has been
And should have been. I can’t help but think of the South Park episode where they say that maybe the Chinese should have bought the SW franchise. I doubt they could have done worse.
Well, aside from maybe the Chinese being more overt in it promoting communism, but then again, Lucas pretty much already did that by basing the Rebels and Ewoks on the Vietcong, not to mention some EU stories that bashed capitalist institutions and the Prequel Trilogy actually bashing corporations by having them being the main bad guys (the second film even had them explicitly giving their names to the Separatists).
At this point, if Star Wars isn’t already a smoldering wreck, it soon will be. Nice going, Iger, Kennedy, Abrams, Johnson, and Lucas (yes, I hold him responsible for the mess Disney caused for the franchise, since, aside from the fact that he was the one who instigated the deal in the first place, he also was the one who specifically chose Kennedy to take over Lucasfilm despite her apparently hating Star Wars from the get go for being a “boy’s franchise”). You just destroyed a great cultural icon in your PC SJW quest. I hope you’re happy as you’re losing money from this. Isn’t there some way to fire Iger to fix Disney outright?
