Thread: Star Wars: Episode VII - IX & Spinoffs Disscussion *SPOILERS INSIDE*

As for the audience score...Go read the reviews Shane...The fans that are reviewing the movie with a half star, all of them openly admit they haven't even seen the freaking movie, they are just assuming it is going to be garbage because they didn't like The Last Jedi... It's being brigaded and as such, you can't freaking trust that score.

From what I can tell about the negativity, the half that didn't like this movie were zit faced nerds raging from the confines of their mothers basement because it isn't the Star Wars they "know and love"

desecrating the characters, the plot is filled with the worst sjw ideology they will cram down your throat and they even managed to rape the millenium falcon by infecting it with that stupid robot bitches brain, so that this ship is befudged forever.
No Pasaran

You can't let them get through with that. You must not pay money for this film in any way. watch it on some cheap internet ripoffs if you can, but I can't tell you that it will be worth your time.

I have seen real fans cry after that, really cry. I personally was just angry and really pissed off.

And I don't need Kathleen to tell me that han shot first. He always did.

This film has no idea about characters and what makes a character up, it has no idea about the deep meaning of the stories behind star wars and why we learned to love them. Why these modern fairytales are stories you usually can rely to yourself because it did used to touch stuff that are basic conflicts in every humans life.

Instead this. They shit on the fans, on the story, the whole original background and it is maybe not as terrible as the last jedi, but it doesn't make much of a difference.

Don't pay any money on this, because you can't give them money for this. If you love star wars, boycott this film. Because if you don't they will go on with that. They will go on and destroy the story further and further, they will erode it, rape it, befudge it, pervert it until it's over and nobody will touch the stuff anymore because it is toxic waste.

Please consider this. Don't watch this. I never have said something like this about a film, just never. But this time, please listen. For the sake of our love to it.

i almost want to see it now just because i am being told not to.

I can't stop laughing. I love this so much.

We’re talking about a sci-fi movie series with the character depth of children’s books. What’s the big deal?

I thought it was great and better than TLJ, now, granted, I liked TLJ, but to the people crying about SJW, the robot started a slave revolt, that's it, it was actually rather hilarious to watch, but I think we can all agree that Slavery=bad...It's not like they are shoving an agenda down your throat. It was IMO a solid portrayal of Han Solo.

I wasn't exactly sold on the kid they had playing Solo, but it was well written and they put him in situations that felt like classic Han, his methods for overcoming the situations also felt like classic Han and in the end, it was a believable performance.

If I saw fans literally crying because of a movie...

Ok, back on the positivity train for me. One more thing I loved about Solo is that it recognized both the prequels and the OT in so many ways. This movie truly felt like a bridge between Episodes I-III and the new movies. Between all the references to familiar names and locations to the literal inclusion of

 

Darth Freakin Maul as a crime lord

I loved how it acknowledged the story as a whole.

I just came into this fandom. I saw the originals back in the day, but wasn't encompassed with the star wars world. I am now, I've fallen in love with the fandom, between merchandise I've spent ridiculously too much money on the last year to currently planning my first comic con in June, I'm smitten with star Wars. My younger boy told my older boy. ...dude, mom has this friggen weird infatuation with Star Wars now. So while older fans can get upset about the newer movies, they have created a renewed love for the fandom that wasn't there for some before.

The thing is though, I don't think this is all "older" fans. I think it's a vocal minority that is projecting their issues with diversity, feminism, etc. onto a movie franchise that is trying to appeal to a wider audience. Most fans that have issues with the new movies can also acknowledge what they are doing right. Personally I am not a huge fan of The Last Jedi, but I loved how it challenged older fans like myself and subverted my expectations. It failed on some narrative levels, but I love the character arc of Luke, Kylo, and Rey. I really want them to stick the landing with Episode IX.

Definitely not all older fans, I should have been specific there. Though there is some backlash against new fans, which just seems so silly to me. Some feel like they own the fandom and there is no room for new fans. Like can't we all just enjoy some Vader and chill?

I love new fans! More Star Wars for me, good and bad!
