Remember when this thread was about SOLO? A long time ago? In a galaxy far far away? Maybe we could try to steer it back in that general direction. |
Read the OP.

My Take I think TLJ has done the damage many fans think it has, tarnishing people's interest in the future of the franchise under Disney. Or maybe more accurately, under Kathleen Kennedy. It doesn't help that the directors and writers have been putting in their own political agendas into the films, but much worse, out there on social media, even if they aren't quite blatantly put in the film. Lando being a pansexual is the most recent example of this, with the writer saying he is glad that he is injecting identity politics into a franchise that was meant for everyone. And any fans that have a problem with it are belittled and accused of being the scum of the Earth. Yet, strangely enough, Kennedy and Lucasfilm expect us to still go see the films. My prediction is that Solo doesn't even hit $1B WW, possibly falling short of even $900M. A very poor result given how much money Disney has pumped into the film. Thoughts? Will Solo go on to be a surprise hit? Or has TLJ and identity politics caused to much damage to the franchise? |
The behavior of the Star Wars fanbase, the reactions from people who work on Star Wars and the reaction to The Last Jedi are all part of the discussion in this thread and have been since the opening post. The backlash towards Kelly Marie Tran is on-topic in terms of discussion around how certain fans have rejected the new movies and casting choices.
