And so it begins - Forbes' Scott Mendelson (a teeth-gritted TLJ defender) fires the first salvo of SJW-inspired finger pointing for Solo's failure:
1. "Alden Ehrenreich's generic white-dude leading man"
2. that a "vocal minority skewed the narrative of... The Last Jedi so that its gross was viewed as a failure didn't help"
3. the "online narrative" that TLJ "disappointed fans by being too different/bold/unconventional or too "politically correct""
Your sig makes that more disturbing. Your sig makes almost anything more disturbing.
More disturbing still is I found your sig.

I've never really hung around Star Wars threads for this long but man they really reek of bile. I loved Solo and hated TLJ. I don't know how anyone can seriously defend that thing.

That shot in your gif from Solo leads into one of the best composed shots in all of Star Wars with ESB Vader on the walkway talking to Luke obviously still number # 1.
But that shot in Solo is so cool with the tie fighter flying outside his window illuminated by the lightning storm it makes Alden look so cool when he looks up at it to formulate his strategy.

Would now be a bad time to post a Lynch gif?

So much for the narrative that TLJ's earnings meant nothing because "all live-action SW movies are guaranteed to make over a billion dollars."

Not anymore. I hope Lucasfilm has learned their lesson. You can’t talk down to fans, berate them shove anything in front of them good or bad and expect them all to just eat it up. For me Solo was better that TLJ, but their whole handling of that movie really put me off on future Star Wars films. From my point of view episode 9 looks like a real train wreck waiting to happen and it’s all Kennedy’s fault. So the blame should all fall on her.

yeah but it also means The Last Jedi soured fans SO MUCH that most people avoided this movie either in anger or principle.
The movie is not even that bad by most reviews, the acting was okay. the worst thing ive heard is that it is boring and safe, which are not terrible things
This movie has been called as better than the last jedi yet it is doing worse than Justice league
And the last jedi did that

Interesting angle....I like that. Things with personality would be very attractive to people even now....hello Alexa I am looking at you.
He was VERY enamored with the Falcon and Hans fake ship also.
They could have driven this idea home if he made a similar gesture losing the Falcon.

Honestly I could care less if she stays or goes because my personal footprint on this earth hasn’t been violated by her artistic and business decisions in any shape or form, they’re movies for Christ sake lol
Reality is we got Ewoks, Holiday Special, Crappy Han, Lame Fett, Taxation of Trade Routes, Gungans, Little Annie and Whine-akin when SW was controlled only by men.
Then again i’m also not paranoid lol
Not saying you are but becareful around these parts I hear paranoia is very contagious!
By the way Chewblacca we need to come up with a nick name for you i’m not going to say your full name all the time you know.
Him flipping the falcon taking out that Tie was spectacular!

Amazing how many people here are happy with Solo. I'm one of them.
It's a mediocre movie - but it has some great elements and it felt SW correct.
My point is.. if we are happy with this level of SW filming - just how bad was The Last Jedi to get everyone up in arms.

Yep imagine if George never made ROTJ and gave us Solo in the 80's instead. It'd be a celebrated classic. Then if Kennedy still took over the franchise and gave us ROTJ as a continuation of SW/ESB people would be outraged at how lame she allowed Han, Fett, and Vader to become. Some people just won't ever take off their nostalgia blinders no matter how superior certain aspects of the Disney films are compared to what Lucas gave us. SW/ESB will always be untouchable but Disney has been doing a bang up effort at getting close, especially with the spin-off flicks.
TPM, AOTC, ROTS, and half of ROTJ are an absolute joke compared to ST/RO/Solo.
