Agreed, it was okay... the stupid SJW nonsense of Kennedy has harmed the franchise... but what’s really killed the franchise, is they want to make Star Wars shades of grey... and that’s just NOT what Star Wars is...
Good and Evil are clearly defined, there are no shades of grey... forcing it into the storyline turns off the fan base more than anything else...
The Last Jedi was a TERRIBLE movie.... Solo was an OKAY movie... it really would have done better if Last Jedi hadn’t been SO BAD! Could Solo have been better? Yes... it definitely didn’t need the implied Lando is into robots crap... that was stupid... and it didn’t need some “feminist” droid... that was beyond stupid.... but the overall movie was okay.... as I said could have been better.. but not bad.
SOLO suffered from Last Jedi being so bad....
Kennedy needs GONE.... the fact Disney hasn’t tossed her aside tells you all you need to know about Disney/Lucasfilms today
Fully agreed with you (well, I’ll admit that TLJ was slightly better than The Force Awakens, but that’s only because TLJ at least didn’t outright remake TESB in all but name, while TFA did exactly that with ANH.).
However, Kennedy wasn’t responsible for Star Wars needlessly adopting grays, or even Iger. The man who deserves to be blamed for that is none other than its creator George Lucas. The prequel trilogy and Jedi certainly hinted at a morally relativistic view with how Obi-Wan basically said that truth literally depended on points of view (it doesn’t. It’s absolute and non-changing), and was treated as good (that, and also the implication that arose that Obi-Wan misled Luke specifically to manipulate him into committing patricide, and treating that as good, or at least preferable to Luke turning to the dark side), not to mention Obi-Wan going full-on nihilist by saying “Only a Sith deals in absolutes.” Heck, even A New Hope had grays with Leia implicitly condemning an implied innocent planet after leaving it to hold the bag just to avoid her home planet being blown up, not to mention Obi-Wan robbing a Stormtrooper of his free will, and it never being addressed even there that there were any negatives to that sort of element. If it were truly clearly defined, those aspects would NOT have happened.
If that’s not enough, George Lucas outright says as much with the Chosen One prophecy being to literally “bring balance” between light and dark elements, not eliminate the dark as earlier led to believe. In fact, the Clone Wars cartoon reinforces that bit, with even George Lucas stating as much based on this blueskying/commentary here: https://youtu.be/68dvgRT3Kx8 Also this interview here: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2002-jan-20-ca-hart20-story.html
Besides, I’m pretty sure Lucas basing the Rebels on the Vietcong and the Empire on America not just from his own admission, but also the 1973 story treatment notes penned by Lucas himself would show that Lucas has a downright TERRIBLE understanding of morality.
As far as Solo, yeah, I wasn’t fond of them deciding to make him pansexual out of the blue. He was never that. He was a flirt to the ladies, and wasn’t into any abberant behavior other than maybe being too much of a flirt. They might as well turn Han Solo gay while we’re at it (I’m being sarcastic, obviously). And quite frankly, that was the same mistake Bill Condon made when he “outed” LeFou during development for Beauty and the Beast. Still, was nice that Solo included a long-discarded concept from A New Hope in the form of the Arrestor Cruiser. Never saw the film though (and believe it or not, The Last Jedi being a stinker didn’t even have anything to do with my decision, as I already vowed not to see any more Star Wars movies made by Disney before The Last Jedi was even formally announced thanks to the LeFou debacle that Bill Condon unleashed).
