Hopefully they fixed the problems this film experienced while in development. I'm not hopeful though.

First I heard of it was today, but see it's already finished filming.  I really liked Rogue One so hopeful this one will be good as well.

They had a score of issues if I remember comrrectly, from changing 3 directors to having to coach the main actor since he's quite.....bad

inb4 social justice ruins this movie too because it was too late for them to back out of this movie after seeing TLJ's criticisms and seeing how far they were in production. Because hey, it's Star Wars. People will eat that shit right up no matter how PC we make it.

When has Star Wars ever been NOT that?

Since Return, it's been a crowdpleasing blockbuster through and through (except the long-winded politics part in the prequels). Anyone crying "muh Star Wars" seems to have an idea of this saga that has never been,

You gotta admit though, it's way worse than the prequels. While the prequels were, imo, much too black and white for a trilogy about the fall of a republic and the rise of an empire, at least they didn't insert try to pander to the feminist crowd by inserting minorities and women everywhere for the sake of inserting minorities and women everywhere.

You mean like making a major character in series a black dude played by Billy D. Williams because everyone in the first film was a white? Again, I fail to see how this is anything new.

Star Wars was not Blazing Saddles before Disney came in. It has always been expanding the scope of cultures and persons portrayed since the second film. I and the vast majority of fans don't care about an asian love interest or a pink-haired admiral in a saga where Cantina patrons in the first film included a wolfman, an alligator, and a giant rat puppet.

Dude, the internet is on fire with people actively disliking Rose, Admiral Holdo, and all the other PC figures obviously shoehorned in to appease feminists. It's not that they're cast or added to the film, it's just that, in the current political climate, filmmakers do it to avoid the wrath of the feminists. And that's what bothers the hell out of people. Everyone loved Lando because he was :

-Cast right
-Not shoehorned in like most characters with "minority" background in TLJ and TFA.

Because they're characters that make dumb decisions, add nothing new or substantial, and do nothing that advances a plot that is already a jumbled mess even without them. It's the same thing that happened with Jar Jar Binks when the Phantom Menace first came out. People reacted with vehement hatred toward a character that made dumb decisions, added nothing substantial, and did nothing to advance an already jumbled mess of a plot that was already fucked without them.

The Last Jedi wasn't bad because it pandered. It was bad because it was a directionless mess that seemed hell bent on cauterizing every loose end for the sake of "subversion". Let's not forget The Force Awakens was an alright film despite it "pandering" to some of the same demographics, but people don't bash it in the same way because it's coherent film that has direction even if there are niggling problems.

I want a star wars movie from the view of the Empire.

A film that shows what happened between the Battle of Endor and Battle of Jakku would be an interesting side story. Something similar to Battlefront II, so long as it doesn't mention anything from that happening (ever again).

Let's agree that both are bad form. :P

I believe you guys are both right and the truth is in the middle, above all I can't really understand who had the bright idea to weaponize FTL speed and throw 7 movies out of the window.

Exactlly. The Death Star could've been made redundant by a hyperspace torpedo that cost .00000000000000001% of the total cost. But again, that's the price you pay for letting 1 director take complete creative freedom over the world's biggest franchise.

I've heard that the film is having alot of production issues (already on their 3rd director?).  And the fact that they have had to bring on an acting coach for the guy playing Han Solo. I would sadly not get your hopes up guys.

Obiwan standalone film is "our only hope" of a good Star Wars movie.

@J. Corenare you talking bad about a giant rat puppet!? how dare you. He was my favorite character sir.

Of course. How could I POSSIBLY forget all the amazing things he did in the Clone Wars and how he was a major player in the Rebel Alliance, as detailed in the 27 expanded universe novels featuring him alongside Hohass Ekwesh.

I was trying to stay out of it for as long as I could, but one thing I could not help notice was that almost every white male in TLJ was at one point perpetrated as evil.  The casino world, populated by all white people, not one minority in those shots.  All other white male leads, were evil or considered evil throughout the movie.  If that isn't tailoring to the feminists and liberal doctrine..... *sigh*

 

Bu For Solo... I hope it is as good as Rogue One was.  They have an opportunity to make a great movie here.  The issues do concern me greatly though.

It didn't go unnoticed by me. And the only white man on the side of the rebels is told that he sucks, his plan sucked, he got people killed and he should go stand in the corner while admiral Feminist does that little condescending laugh thing. He was completely right about her being a moron for not telling her subordinates about her plan, and completely right about mutineering, but hey, at least Leia is right on time to stop him from doing what he thinks is best. At least she finished up her story real quick by flying into the Supremacy.

Speaking of women in charge, did you notice that Finn and Rose' entire mission was driven, planned and just... Moved forward by Rose? Finn went from being a main character to a sidekick real quick there, where a character that was completely unknown 3 scenes ago is now a main character. Plot.

As for the rest of the white male cast, Kylo Ren is portrayed reasonably okay but emotionally unstable as hell because hey, can't give him too much credit! Hux is downgraded to comic relief punchbag because hey, can't give him too much credit! And Snoke was probably a white man at some point in his life, so the best thing for him is to axe him off by having him get bamboozled by his apprentice. Because, you know, what essentially amounts to omniscience and mastery of the force does tend to make one forget that Sith always betray their masters to take their power. Woops.

The social justice is real, and the more I look at it, the more it feels like the movie is trying to slap Star Wars fans in the face.

Oh yeah. Spoilers.
