The things I didn't like about Solo had nothing to do with this weird fear of SJW politics in the movie.

The movie just wasn't that fun?

👆

Honestly, the SJW bullshit from TLJ didn't bother me. I didn't care.

Solo...uhh...I'll get back to you on it.

Meditate on it.

HOLY HELL!? Even John Campea is calling for Kathleen Kennedy to step down!! Never thought I'd see the day.

Nah. There are others too. Jeremy Jahns criticized the Disney direction with Star Wars as well. More and more people are starting to see what they've done to the franchise.

Is that just a youtube guy?

Campea's video this morning was also flagged. Things are about to get nasty for Disney.

You got Comcast about to go to war with them and the AT&T decision coming up. Things are about to get very interesting.

👆 yep, hopefully they put an actual FAN in charge of SW going forward. Kennedy isn't even a SW fan.

Yawn.

I'm interested in hearing about the fan complaints with Solo.

As I understood it, people didn't like it because it was an inconsequential origin story that sort of undermines alot of the mystique the character Han had. And the acting was sub-par.

Are people saying it's because of politics that they didn't like it?

Actually, the movie isn't doing poorly because it's a bad film. It's just paying the price of The Last Jedi. Much like Justice League; despite being a better movie than BVS, payed the price of BVS and Suicide Squad.

Studios can't expect to make divisive movies one after the other and not pay the price. Unfortunately Disney/Kathleen Kennedy didn't learn from the DCEU and just tanked the public appeal of Star Wars. Here's hoping that they turn it around but I have no real optimism with KK at the helm.

Wait then if Solo isn't bad then why do you so desperately want KK removed from her position?

Mostly the treatment of the original cast, especially luke. While the solo movie was pretty good, it has hints that it used to be a lot better before they changed directors.

Because of TLJ. And the fact the entire franchise is in danger with her at the helm. AGAIN, the trajectory:

TFA: 2 Billion
TLJ: 1.3 Billion
Solo: Probably 600 million or less.

The MCU on the other hand has WAY more movies out and they're on the RISE. That's because of Kevin Feige. The guy is a dedicated fan WHO CARES ABOUT THE MATERIAL AND THE FANS. I can't stress that last point enough. KK doesn't care about either of those things.

I do agree she needs to go but this isn’t entirely her fault either.

Right, well Rian Johnson is too blame as well, big time. But seeing as how she only keeps directors who she can control....it's still like 80-90% her fault.

Some Star Wars fans are definitely triggered these days.
