Re: Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 25th, 2018)

All of this. I'm 41, when I was 21 I was a drug dealing POS whose only goal was to keep enough money for myself and my drug habit. At 41, I'm a licensed Art Teacher whose goal is to promote the arts and children's confidence they gain when problem solving creating projects. Point is people change, situations and tragedy can inform who people become. Han and Leia had a child who showed tremendous gifts with the Force but also a dark side. They sent him to train to be a Jedi under his uncle Luke. Ben became a monster and destroyed everything they were trying to rebuild.

Han and Leia both reacted to tragedy by going their separate paths, one buried herself in forming a Resistance against the growing First Order and Han retreated to smuggling. I know some hate this change but given the context of the situation who are we to judge? They both dealt with tragedy and their relationship didn't survive, nor could anything be done about their son who basically disappeared to join Snoke, become Kylo Ren and become the driving force to spread a new evil across the galaxy.

To end my rant, Grace uses and creates controversy where their shouldn't even be any to promote herself and get hits on her YouTube channel. She doesn't understand character development, nor does she attempt to even back up her claims. I truly cannot stand her but she is smart enough to know Star Wars is a hot button issue so she will have her dumb opinions shared and get hits because people love to argue.

Ending my Star Wars rant for today. I truly hope most of you enjoy it as much as I did. Don't expect to be moved or to see something important. Solo is a fun fantasy western. Key word: fun.

Make all the excuses you want. A man doesn't abandon his family. A man protects his family. While his wife was fighting a war and when his son needed him most he was out transporting contraband.
 
Re: Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 25th, 2018)

Is it feasible? Yes.

Do I like it? No. It undoes his entire character development from the OT.

It's character regression instead of progression. Backasswards storytelling. The postmodern deconstruction b.s. didn't begin with Rian Johnson.
 
Re: Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 25th, 2018)

grace wrote for marvel....
grace has been to the DC lot and has been on stage while they filmed the DC movies, shes also been to the oscars and covered that.
Grace has interviewed all the celebrities from Hugh Jackman to Anne Hathaway to Rob Zombie.

Grace knows so much more about movies and film making than you would EVER EVER know. You are saying these things because you disagree with her.
you are literally telling FAKE news..... shes much more professional and knowledgeable than half of hollywood, she doesnt need to bait for views. she gets views because shes one of the MOST informed and knowledgeable critics in the industry
Her Movie math videos are an amazing inside look into the working of hollywood

you literally dont know what you are talking about

I am so sorry I upset you and your love of this woman. I disagree with almost every opinion she has. She uses what people are upset about to stir the pot. And it works obviously. Yes I am sure she knows more than I would EVER EVER know about filmmaking, since I have studied film my whole life and taken countless filmmaking classes in college. But she interviews celebrities so obviously she knows all. That's like saying the people at Entertainment Tonight have a better opinion than all people who just go to school for filmmaking.

I LITERALLY am not sorry for my calling out Grace for attempting to make a big deal over nothing just to get more views.

we shouldnt even be talking about her

it is against the rules
 
Re: Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 25th, 2018)

It's not really feminism, it's droidism. She does happen to be female though. And I did say it was forced.

And I didn't think Lando was any less cool, just too caring about others (especially the droid!)

Err... what makes a droid "female"? I mean the type in SW, not Ex Machina.

I think Grace is a graduate of NYU Film School, one of the top film schools in the country. I'm not a fan of hers, but she's studied film and has written for major comics.

And you've plugged about as much spackle and filler into the holes of that ST backstory as is needed to have it make sense. Strung together chronologically, there's a metric ton of "huh?" in that little ditty.

Is iPhone's Siri a chick a dude?

Definitely a chick. And when she doesn't do what I want, I call her a c-unit.

It's regression by definition when the writer turns back the clock and makes Han a self centered smuggler again.

Re: Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 25th, 2018)

My god !! I just read through most of this. I really hope some of your children or friends aren't gay , some of you sound horrible. "I didn't ever even think of sex in the old Star Wars " BEING GAY ISNT ONLY ABOUT SEX. And "Idk or want to know the characters sexual orientation" yeah? But only if they are not straight does that apply right??? Years and years of homophobic and racist film industry and barely a few years into a bit of a revelation in the human species and you all lose it. Any way ,just try to put your selves in other people's shoes. Some of the things said on here are so bad. Sorry , couldn't just not say anything. I mean there's a million more things to say regarding this but whatever. Y'all should be happy your kids or your friends kids or whoever can see a Star Wars movie and maybe relate or learn something about other types of people.

I barely even knew this movie existed which is so strange. I just watched one trailer and thought it looked excellent. Looks like perfect casting and I love the fun hip vibes I was getting from the style. Might try to see this in the drive in for a bit of a nostalgic Star Wars viewing.

I openly consider myself an advocate for LGBTQR persons and their rights. But I don't make every topic turn into sexual orientation/preference. I admit that I've not read through the entire thread (who has time for that?), but most of what I've seen isn't considered homophobic. There's only a few members that openly oppose it. Most are OK with it (here at least). But most are also tired of the topic being forced into many conversations/movies/comics, etc when it's not even relevant.

It only ever comes up in the way that I just specified. And then right below you somebody compares it to ****ing a chicken. I understand it's a joke, I'm not a sensitive sjw warrior baby thing. I'm just making an observation after skimming trying to find opinions on the movie. If you were wondering why it had to be "shoved down your throats" look no further than this board here. It's only going to get "worse" from here on for you guys who don't like it in your movies. So I hope you buckle up and stick to this little forum in the corner of the world. Do what you have to do , protest SOLO.

Boy, stop snowflaking. The writer said Lando is pansexual, not homosexual. Look up the word.
 
Re: Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 25th, 2018)

Is this real? What a piece of trash.

If there was any doubt that Disney Wars is just cheap fan fiction...

How long until the few real Star Wars fans that still enjoy Disney Wars realize this franchise is dead?

Don't be such a smart ass, it's ****ing annoying. I was being general and the two quotes I put up are not specifically about Lando. "Don't like it being forced down our throats" and "don't need to know sexual orientation" look up the post. Those comments have been made many times in this forum NOT about lando being pansexual.
