I’m aware. I’m saying the fact that they just tacked some identity politics on there after the fact is a worse type of virtue signalling than actually including it in the movie.

“Eh frick it, Lando’s queer, frick you give me your money.”

Doesn’t that make it worse though? That means they injected politics after the fact just for the frick of it


i'm not a snowflake so i don't actively search out what a celebrity says about a character in a movie and then demonize a film because of it.

that's snowflake 112 and it's hilarious that the right is getting sucked into it

SAW it and liked it, much better than the last one. I liked rouge one the best out of the new versions because the female lead was smoking to go with a good movie.

It was an abomination. I expect week 2 to be a big drop off and not just because it’s not a holiday weekend.

I enjoyed Rogue One

I saw episode 8 and thought it was just ok

Episode 7 I turned off after about 10 minutes due to lack of interest

Lando could be a pedophile, but if it’s not in the movie then it’s irrelevant.

There was nothing in the movie that would lead you to believe Lando was gay.

It’s a nonstory.

Not demonizing it. I’m just tired of virtue signalling so I’m not gonna see the movie, it’s pretty easy logic.

Also why does the left always try to appropriate the right’s memes? I realize y’all aren’t funny people but it’s just sad. At least be original in your insults.

Well, you’re missing a good movie.

I’m conservative as frick and I liked it. None of the stuff you are worried about was even in the movie.

what else can you call it? you're offended by what a celebrity said about a character in a movie..

how about we just call it pathetic and move on?

I’ll live.

Honestly the main factor for me is that I really don’t like how Disney has handled the IP and the only way to make them change and start doing quality, original stories is to vote with my wallet.

The virtue signalling is peripheral to that central concern.

Which is not at all what the failing box office is about. Its a message to Disney that they are not untouchable

Even a movie like Solo (which you say doesn't attach the SJW movement) is subject to backlash, until Disney proves that the next SW installment is about the Skywalker story, and not current political agendas

Disney couldn't have made TLJ any more about politics, even if they had slapped a SJW rating on the promos. They destroyed the 30 year old story to wage war on Trumps America. It was a devastatingly stupid path to follow, and they are going to pay the price at the box office for awhile

I was surprised but it was an actual enjoyable movie to see in theaters. Disney has handled the stand alone films much better than the anchors of the franchise


This movie is suffering the backlash from TLJ. From what I've heard its not a bad film at all. This should have been on autopilot to clear close to a billion bucks.

You know, if you make a shitty movie and people point out its a shitty movie, calling them misogynistic racist homophobic bigots isn't exactly going to make them want to go see the next movie in the franchise. Even if its not a shitty movie.

Shockingly most of us don't like to be slurred in such a way. It might, just might, not be the best marketing strategy to use if ytou piss on your fans and tell them its raining.

Disney didn't just kill the goose that laid the golden eggs, they molested and tortured it first. The first rule of Hollywood and this should be branded on every studio executives forehead... "If you want to send a message, use Western Union."

Just make a good movie. If its good we don't care if the lead actor is a transgender pansexual from Outer Mongolia. If its bad, and you'll have that, have the decency to either own up to it or sweep it under the rug.

You thought 7 was bad, but 8 was ok?

I'm not sure I can take an opinion like that seriously.

TFA was no prize, but it was better than TLJ by any measure imaginable.

TLJ thoroughly shite on one of the most iconic fantasy characters of all time.

It even took open plot points from 7 and went "frick the fans".

But I it is edgy to not hate TLJ, so I guess I get it.

Agreed. I just got back from seeing it & I can spot SJW propaganda a mile away. None of that in this movie. I really liked it. Rogue One & Solo have been much better than Episode 7 & 8 with little or none of the SJW propaganda.

My not liking solo all that much has nothing to do with politics. It just was an okay movie at best. I came away feeling Meh. I won't discourage others to see it, but I also will not be telling others it is a must see either.
