The director is Leslye Headland, who enjoys making movies about single progressive females, definitely a self insert and you can expect to see her self insert somewhere in this content.


She made a riff on bridesmaids featuring worse behavior and more coke, and she made a very conventional, and quite funny romcom. The women are single, though only dolts would call them progressive.

She also made one of the more beloved Netflix shows in the past 5 years.

You just made something up.

You would think people on here would be embarrassed to admit they’re going to watch this and enjoy it given Headland’s Uber woke, lame and gay comments

But nope, they insist on being progressive soy fruits and think that’s getting back to real Star Wars. Sad

You forgot to fit the work cuck in there. You still have time to edit.

I don’t really care if other people enjoy this - be a grown up and allow that others can have their own opinions. I just know it’s extremely unlikely I will enjoy it. Not because Of any work ideology, but because the ideology is the focus instead is the focus being making great content. Particular in the current political/social climate it seems to be very difficult to do both.

But Andor was badass and along with Rogue One, the best Star Wars product since the original trilogy imo.


Rogue One was good but a little bleak for me.

I know there is a demand for darker grittier Star Wars and i have no problem with that demand being met but I also wouldn’t ask for it to be the direction of the whole franchise.

in my opinion the ST sucked but a lot of good content has come out post prequel trilogy.

The Mandolorian
Rogue One
I really think Solo is a good movie.
not amazing but fun and entertaining.

It looks like they are following the "South Park" interpretation of Kathleen Kennedy's Casting methodology:

"Put a chick in it and make her gay"..

That picture is enough to tell me I don't need to see this

It really is simple.

Want to alter the agenda and get back to entertainment? Make these agenda-first projects non-profitable.

I don't care if it is "woke" by anyone else's definition. I just want entertainment without getting preached to... and that simply doesn't happen with these agenda-first directors.

Just saw in an article that the largest single stockholder of Disney stock is none other than George Lucas.

Good for him.

Maybe the Sith's plan was to cleanse the gay from the Jedi, which is why the original trilogy wasnt gay.

I have extremely low expectations for this show. I hope there will at least be a cool lightsaber duel, though.

I wonder how many millions he lost? Poetic justice.

I'm going to enjoy it, the main story line of High Republic was well written that made an Menacing Antagonist that wasn't a Force User or overly intelligent. Who slaughtered more Jedi than Thrawn. Avoid the side stories if you want to stay out of the gay but it does give more depth. When I was born there was only 3 movies, very grateful for the clone wars, and hope future generations can enjoy the additional content as Star Wars will outlive me.

Respectfully.

Really? I thought it was a Madame Web level trailer. It looks bad. Even the choreography that they think looks cool looks fricking terrible. Most of the shots look like daytime TV. The only saving grace might be Lee Jung-Jae. At least he looks good.


It can’t be THIS fricking hard to make cool Star Wars shite. It just can’t be

That was pretty much exactly what I expected.
