Right, so how does that put everyone on an even playing field if it's only pointing out how uneven it is?

Because it's not an even playing field in our world. Women in these movies are being shown to be capable of anything men can do which makes it an even playing field. Showing this points out those issues which are present in our world. That is all I'm saying on it because I know the "Anti-SJW squad" are on the way and life's too short to argue.

there cant be any relationship with lando that isnt sexual.
hes too sexy and sensual to not have even a little bit sexual relationship with every person he meets.


there was even a tiny sexual tension with him and darth vader.

[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] the dude flirts with everybody but I never saw him flirt with anybody who wasn't a guy but maybe Vader was hiding his excitement over Lando with his cod piece.

Again, what you're suggesting is that all the other movies don't show women as being "capable of anything men can do which makes it an even playing field." No one is complaining about the other countless films with female leads. You're talking like KKs SW is the first. You're also denying that Rey is a Mary Sue. No man in SW could do what she does.

No, what I was saying is that Disney is attempting to put everybody on an equal playing field, which some people read as a personal attack on themselves because they are very insecure.

Have you considered the problem may be with you, as you’d rather vilify others for their viewpoint than seek to understand them? Before anything else let me say my favorite nu-SW movie is RO and it’s the most diverse out of the bunch (and it’s female lead is my avatar), so don’t come at me from that angle.

I want you to think of why people don’t like this. Is it because they’re insecure bigots as you’re implying?

Think of other film/TV. Wasn’t Captain Kirk technically a pansexual? Star Lord with Gamora? Drax and Mantis? Aren’t blade runners who loved synthetics or AIs pansexual? Aren’t humans and cylons who loved each other in BSG pansexuals? Roger rabbit and Jessica rabbit lol)? Even in TCW there was one clone who deserted and had kids with a twi’lek. Pansexual? Superman and Lois Lane? In ancient times, didn’t big daddy Zeus turning into a swan to sex up married ladies? So many other examples I could list? (Lol, David on David from alien covenant?)

Now, did anyone raise a fuss about any of these? No. No one had a problem. No one made big news about it and everyone just quietly accepted it as the way it is. People are more open minded than you think, and the moral of almost every story is to love who you really love, regardless of what they may be (including different species). The problem comes when certain folks overtake a beloved franchise to use it as a mouthpiece, especially one that traditionally completely veers away from sex and is for kids. Further, from most accounts, the movie doesn’t even hint at lando’s pansexuality, making what’s been said outside of it even more clearly an ‘agenda.’

The message you’re talking about getting across is already in every movie in a more symbolic and thus more meaningful way, because humans learn better through symbolism/parables than being told flat out what’s right and wrong.

It’s not about what you do, but *how* you do it. I hope this helps you understand. Otherwise I’ll just go back to joke posting

when they speak about the deal changing... i definitely felt some vibes. i definitely felt that vader had a dominatrix thing going on and Lando was very submissive but smooth and sensual in his angry tone to vader. Vader was like his sugar daddy.

That's two. Spazz and Zach also.

Do you think any of them will come back? Like DiFabio....who defies death.

I just saw it and I loved it. It was exactly what I wanted out of a movie about young Han Solo (which I never knew I wanted). It's fun and I grinned pretty much through the whole movie.

It has a lot of fan service, and I know CERTAIN members who want to call out "SJWs ruining my Star Wars!" will look for all the things they hated about Disney trying to treat everybody no matter their sexual orientation or gender with equal respect will hate it. I am just happy that I can enjoy this movie without the filter of hate blinding me to what I love about the characters of Han Solo, Chewbacca and Lando.

It's not perfect, but what is? I could pick it apart but I'm not going to. Because Han Solo creates a lifelong bond with Chewbacca, key events shaped the character he will become and Han played Lando in a game of Sabacc over space ships. Alden Erinrich crushed it as Solo as did Glover as Lando.

Only nitpick (okay I do have one) is the cameo towards the end. I refuse to accept that character being alive past a certain movie for no other reason then it's dumb.

The so-called "agenda" didn't bother me in TLJ but it just felt forced in Solo.

Wasn't Leia doing the same thing - in a Star Wars movie - over 40 years ago, along with the Rebellion being run by Mon Mothma? Why do people keep making out like SW needed to be saved from itself?

Robots 3PO and R2 were heroic, the movie's heroes fond of and respectful of them (Han grudgingly so) and they were well-rounded, humanist characters. Why the **** would you need to show 3PO campaigning for equal rights in the Star Wars universe? Like IG-88 and 4-LOM need to play the race card to get to stand alongside the galaxy's best BH on Vader's Star destroyer?

I'm not judging the film because I haven't seen it yet, I'm judging your interpretation of it.
