20th Century Fox, Lucas, and a host of entertainment industries made bank on a fun, funny, action-filled, and romantic movie. They took a simple story of good vs. evil, set it among the stores, gave it an equally mesmerizing soundtrack, and left politics out.

It was a movie for everyone. And everyone loved it.

Now it’s in the hands of SJWs and propagandists. They sucked the joy out of it like vampires and turned it into a series of two-hour admonishments to eat your vegetables and play nice with the neighborhood bully.

We watched the original Star Wars to get away from all that. Not to run headlong into it.

Thats because they have nothing to lose blaming white males, they are the only unprotected, non-special privileged group people can spout overt hatred towards and suffer zero negative consequences.

The point seems to be that white males should be counted upon to finance the endless continuation of the once universally appealing but now universally appalling franchise ...but not be heard.

I have a suggestion. Maybe they can add a new character Han2 solo2. He has two of everything. He can serve two females at as time. In different sectors of the empire...

Disney should hire me as a scriptwriter!!! Did I mention that my skin is glow in the dark fluorescent chartreuse with purple ellipsoidal polkadots and that I actually have three yes three of everything yes everything??? Yes, I can give 3 young nubile female disney sjw type executive producers multiple happy endings at the same time. In different Disney cruise ships. For the right compensation of course. Ahh... The wonders of modern augmented reality... female disney sjw type executive producers, contact me through my agent listed on my IMDb pro web page... you are welcome... lol...

>Who knew there were so many ‘white males’ in China as well...where both TLJ and Solo bombed.

When convenient to the dialog all Asian males will be considered White. Just as all Latino males are White, unless running for office.

I purchased and watched Black Panther on the strength of the box office results. I was disappointed. The premise of "Coming To America" was a little flawed, but overall funny. Black Panther is endless fantasy. Coming To America augmented with Marvel super heroes. Just not believable.

She couldn’t have sex though, because she was a senator. That’s how it works in her galaxy, apparently. In our galaxy, senators have sex all the time. That’s why they become senators.

The Star Wars fandom always loved Princess Leia.

Carrie Fischer looked like a normal human being. That chick they've got now looks like a fashion model.

Don't get me started on the writing.

George Lucas's silly prequel trilogy went a long way toward ruining the franchise

In my opinion the franchise hit the skids when they introduced Teddy Bears.

I never liked Star Wars. It started “in a galaxy far far away” and right there they lost me. Like a cowboy movie set on the Russian Steppes, why should I care?

I agree. The Black Panther movie’s numbers seem inflated.

The funniest thing is to as anyone that saw the movie to NAME the 5 leading characters. Hahahahahahaa. No, seriously ask anyone.

Sheesh, I haven't seen such a spew of character-bashing since Jar Jar Binks. 😆😆😆

Until she turned into Mary Poppins and flew from the bridge of avfoaceship, she was great.

Solo was actually a good movie. It was hurt by all the liberal anti male crap in the main movies.

They’re certainly entitled to that opinion. They’re ALSO entitled attempting to exist without the vast amounts of money that the reviled ‘white male fandom’ has pumped into the franchise over the years.

If the ticket sales for ‘Solo’ are any indication, they may just have to, as Jabba the Hutt might say: ‘learn to appreciate’ their white, male audience.

Daisy Ridley - mediocre looking woman with a thick neck, dressed in gray rags for a costume. Whoever came up with that idea for a costume should spend the rest of their life in a gulag.
