When the actor playing a star wars main character makes the rounds talking about pansexuality of his character that is a hard stop.
Why is there a discussion about the liberal sexual preferences of a star wars character at all? It's so bizarre. Blow shit up save the world from the bad guys and move on. Lando - ( New Window )
Sounds like you are taking this way too literally. Are you otherwise familiar with Glover? He created a hit show on FX and it’s foundation is dark satire. His responses in that interview seem pretty tongue and cheek to me.
The better question is, why do you care?
You know why I care. It's an attempt to normalize a belief system (pansexuality) that is by definition rooted in a mental disorder (according to the American Psychiatric Association).
Look at this thread. People are taking their 7 year olds. What if someone was ten and went home and googled Lando and read the articles. He or she would immediately accept this as normal behavior.
Again, it's star wars. Beat the Empire, blow things up and have it be that. This is why Hollywood is tanking. It's a huge turnoff to a huge portion of the country. This movie, which ten years ago would have crushed every box office record, will not surpass the memorial day weekend box office a few years ago that the 3rd Pirates of the Caribbean took in. Think about that. It's not an accident.

I’m thankful I don’t know you in person. You are a fucking tool of epic proportions. I hope for your sake you can blame it on your own mental disorder.
a fan for a long time. (My wife just bought me an Imperial Walker watch for our ten year wedding anniversary.) I think what Johnson did with Luke was genius. What a lot of fans "wanted" would have been incredibly cheesy and telegraphed. He was still a hero but not in the way anyone imagined. I do wish he would have lived so he could pop-up at some point in the future but that is still likely to happen as a Force Ghost.
But the Star Wars brand under Disney has felt completely rudderless and without a lot of foresight/planning.
JJ Abrams chocked TFA full of mystery boxes and intrigue that pretty much set you up to wonder what the payoff was, even if you felt like you just watched a slightly reheated Episode IV. Instead of building off of any of that, TLJ took a hard turn on everything that was setup and disregard it to play the subversion game.
New ideas/approaches and not falling into tropes is not a bad thing, but I personally thought TLJ was not successful as a film and made TFA significantly worse by how it played out. Maybe it worked for some, but for the first time in the series the "universe" really shrunk with TLJ and there is no real interest in what happens next. We kept the cringe humor and bad acting the series is notorious for, but lost a lot of charm that makes it worth sitting through.
Solo seems to kind of continue with this - as its more of a cash in on the/one of the most popular character in the series, but it doesn't really add anything to the brand and completely misses that Harrison Ford is what people want to see, not how Han got his ship.
When you have Marvel sitting under the same Disney banner and able to deliver on a decade's worth of movies that somehow work together and culminate in an event movie that's shattering records, its baffling that this group could not string together 3 main movies that feel coherent (I'm handicapping Episode 9 before its released, I know) and a few side entries to expand the universe and introduce new characters/ideas.
successful brand though, rather, they are correcting the shit they produced in the 2000’s.
I’m of the belief that there’s nothing they can do “right” with Star Wars, a huge population is simply going to hate them. They need to just move on and forget every character that we know, which I believe is what they are doing in the next reboot.
getting his own "fresh" trilogy? Like, within the SW universe but all new characters and storyline?
That's correct. Also, DB Weiss and Dave Benioff (from Game of Thrones TV show) are overseeing new Star Wars movie projects - no word yet on if it will be a trilogy or anything like that though.
where people feel the need to love or hate something with very little middle ground and will shove it down your throat. Movies, sports, anything. I can’t really comprehend hating TLJ so much that it made you angry, but to each their own.
I’m thankful I don’t know you in person. You are a fucking tool of epic proportions. I hope for your sake you can blame it on your own mental disorder.
Incidentally I consider myself a pretty nice guy and not a tool in any way. I'm generous, successful and an all around likable guy.
See that's the thing- my opinions (shared by a lot more people than your echo chamber may tell you) are just that...opinions. It's ok if you don't share them. I don't call people names on an anonymous message board in an effort to prove an ideological high ground. To each his own I guess.

I agree with you completely, but the two films so far in the Sequel Trilogy do not play well together and that's the problem.
Either go full-in on the nostalgia and get 3 films out of the old-timers while you still can or jump far enough into the future that its plausible no one recalls the past events and blow open the galaxy with new faces, but familiar hallmarks. Deal with people calling it derivative or listen to them whine that their favorites aren't to be found, but have a coherent plot that flows through the 3 films. Don't half-ass it and try to take both directions and get 2/3 of the way through with a mess on your hands that does not work well together.
TLJ was really not done any favors by having to pickup mid-sentence from the TFA, but its been established Johnson wrote his initial script without seeing TFA (it was still shooting and no one apparently thought to get him notes) and it really shows.

You get pretty angry on all the GoT threads! :-)
There’s 1 poster whom I won’t name that gets angry. It certainly isn’t me. I simply point out that he show is a soap opera now, much lower in quality than it used to be.

Have a great Memorial Day Weekend. Enjoy Solo.
Haha, “ideological high ground” like the one you displayed with your ridiculous comment. Forget laying off politics as a BBI rule, your viewpoint is laughable. But I guess that’s just my opinion.
Enjoy your weekend as well.
I think that the primary thing that disappointed me about Solo Â
is that -- like the risk most prequels face -- the events in the narrative didn't seem like they naturally occurred as an unfolding story. It felt more like checking off the boxes of Han's backstory that we first learned about from the original films.
To me, that difference is the difference between a written story and a manufactured plot -- a tangible difference to me as a movie watcher. I love the former and tend to dismiss the latter.
For the sake of people who haven't seen the movie yet, I'm not going to specify what those are here, even though they aren't secrets. But when you think about it, the "check off the boxes" approach tends to cram a bunch of backstory milestones into a short period of time in the character's life (covered by the prequel movie), even though there's little reason to believe they all had to happen in such a compressed time frame. That happens in this movie (for me). A bunch of big things in Han's past all kind of happen in a short period of time. It feels manufactured that way.
That also why I really like Rogue One, even though it's a prequel. Yes, we knew going in that plans to the Death Star were going to be stolen, but what else did we know -- especially about the characters? Pretty much nothing, which is why their story unfolded more naturally than a bunch of mechanical "check off the box" scenes where we're meant to think, "Ah, so that's how that happened!"
People are taking their 7 year olds. What if someone was ten and went home and googled Lando and read the articles. He or she would immediately accept this as normal behavior.
IT'S. NOT. IN. THE. MOVIE.
Yes, but what about the interwebs?
That 10 year old surfing by himself could learn all kinds of things about Star Wars!
And about cooking crystal meth, what a Cleveland Steamer is, and so on, but we're talking Disney here.
Me too. But, I thought it would have been much better if it were real. I know they dumped the expanded universe. But, for 30 years many have read about Luke growing into the most powerful Jedi ever. Hell, even in a backstory for this trilogy there was a story about Luke taking down one of those junked star destroyers on Jaku by himself from the ground. In that vein, it would have been so cool for Luke to actually have walked out there and survived all that firepower.
I liked the film better the second time I saw it after there was no longer any surprise or freshness to how Johnson portrayed Luke. But, as someone else said in this thread, the way they handled it, it would have been better off to have never incorporated Luke at all.
Plus, this trilogy is weird in how it is obviously using nostalgia as a hook and then ignoring the nostalgia at the same time. Strange decisions like Chewie walking right past Leia after returning from Starkiller base without Han. No hug. No acknowledgement by either one. Luke turned into a crotchety old man. No real acknowledgement between Luke and Chewie outside of a, "Chewie, what are you doing here?"
I have no problem with the buildup and then Luke dying. I do have a problem with how they portrayed his character and how they basically ignored his JEdi past and ignored what everyone was waiting for. The original trilogy we saw Luke grow into a Jedi, but really only scratch the surface of how power. After 30 fucking years and 2 movies, we are still waiting. That was bullshit. Also, as pointed out, Last Jedi as a stand alone movie was probably better than as a piece of this trilogy. It was often disjointed and now all the tales about Johnson's work on it back that up.
Lastly, the original trilogy, plus the prequels were about the Skywalker family. Again, I know the expanded universe was scrapped and Lucas is no longer in charge or the owner of the product. But, the vision was always for another trilogy to complete that saga. Even if this was not that vision, to essentially write off Luke as a bit character is ridiculous. Either include the original characters for a purpose or don't include them at all. In some ways, I feel like that film wasted my time.
I will be seeing it Sat. So, I can't yet comment on it overall. But, to the poster who says it felt forced that all of these back story checklist items happened in such a short period of time was forced...I say not really. Han was very young in A New Hope. Luke was younger, which made Han seem a little older. But, that Han was not very far removed from the Han in this movie. And, the backstory that most of us knew about was all from Han's early 20s, which is this movie.

Matt, that was me.
And to that, I say get back to me after you see the movie. It's one thing to say that these milestones all happened in Han's life when he was in his early/mid-20s. It's another thing to say they basically happened one after another in a single year of his life. It didn't work for me.

It very well may have been forced in this movie and I am interested, more than anything else, to see him and Chewie come together. I am wondering if they ruin that well known back story. But, that sotory is absolutely on the heels of him leaving the Imperial academy and then moving directly into his smuggling career. So, the reality is, a lot of these central moments in his development did happen in a relatively short period of time.

Unless they're planning multiple solo movies, they Kinda have to put them all in this one.
They definitely left it where they have 2 different movies they can create to follow after this. I don’t see why everyone feels like they have to pick apart these movies so much. They are never going to be able to fulfill what the originals brought people. Especially the ones that were just kids and saw something the likes they had never seen before on film.
The story is the story and I take it as that. I am just glad they continue making them and don’t care how many they make. I like going to the movies and I like Star Wars so it’s a win win for me.
While it wasn’t the best Star Wars movie ever- it was a lot of fun. And I have to say, I was dead wrong about Alden Ehrenreich. I was worried he would be my least favorite part of the movie, but his performance grew on me as the movie went along.
into proper context please? While it's hinted at in the movie that he may swing both ways nobody involved with the film said he was "pansexual".
It began when interviewer flat out asked Lawrence Kasdan,"is Lando pansexual?" and he responded (and I'm paraphrasing) something to the effect of "yeah ok why not?"
Then the media ran with it. Then old white straight guys started with the, "ermagherd Lando is pansexual! Disney has an agenda! Millenials are weird! Herp derp".
I cant stand when people say stuff like that. So we’re not real fans cause we enjoyed Last Jedi? Star wars fans are the best! I dont think it was great but i dont think its as awful as fanboys are whining about. I thought it was good. Lower than 4-7 and rogue one but alot better than 1-3. Guess im just a casual not real fan
Exactly. I have been a Star Wars fan since I saw A New Hope when I was five years old and I feel exactly this way. I had Star Wars elements incorporated into my wedding (and I am a woman) including a Millenium Falcon wedding cake. The original trilogy will always be my favorite but I enjoyed The Last Jedi well enough. I am looking forward to seeing Solo.
and I loved it. I thought a lot of the media hints at a poor performance by Ehrenreich were way off base. He really did a good job getting Han's essence. The movie, from start to finish, was fun, funny, and packed with action. And it was not devoid of story, as someone here indicated.
I thought the introduction of Chewbacca was extremely well done and very much in line with the little bit of detail about this important event that has been shared for years.
This pan-sexual stuff is pure BS. First of all, nobody said this was the intention. Second, even in the movie did he come off as anything other than a suave lady-killer. If anything, it was his obvious connection to his female droid. But, the comment about Han being "adorable" was not made out of attraction. It was more a condescending, snarky remark about Han.
Anyway, I loved this movie and my kids loved it. We walked out wanting more and already wondering about what will come next.
There were some interesting cameos, this is the first Star Wars film C-3PO and R2-D2 are not in, and I like the take of "I've got a bad feeling..." used in this film.

When I first saw the cameo I thought it might be the "other" one. If you've seen the Clone Wars TV series you'll know what I mean.
Are you sure you don't have your own sexual identity issues?
Yup, sister fucking is fine but if Lando thinks a dude is attractive that’s where the line MUST be drawn.
Disappointed maybe, but angry?!
I've never come out of a movie upset before, but I can genuinely say when I walked out of the Last Jedi I was visibly upset.
I don't think I'm alone on this
If the Last Jedi was done correctly, with all the hype surrounding it, that movie should have brought in 3 billion dollars, instead of 1.3 billion....
When I saw the Force Awakens, I thought it was very well done, saw it three times in the theatre.
They did justice to Han Solo, played by Harrison Ford, the action sequences were done well, the acting, it was a good movie.
In the Last Jedi....
Luke Skywalker is one of the most iconic characters in movie making history, and what Rian Johnson did to him as a character is an abomination.
People waited over 38 years to finally see him back on the big screen, and it would have been better off if he wasn't even in the film.
I have more to say about it, probably save it for another thread, but thats just my opinion...
My favorite part of the movie, easily.
