Yawn. It could be a fun couple of hours. Anyway don’t go, possibly miss out on fun, and be content that Disney will find your boycott really tough to take in.
It’s a movie. But since the new ones people seem to believe they’re being political by addressing all the “problems” and “manipulation”. By stating how terrible the films our, how “their” Star Wars is ruined etc.
What a sense of entitlement. I bet yoguess that you don’t mind DC or Marvel.

Yeah I have minimal interest in it, I might see it with friends but as ive said in other threads star wars before 1983 great! fantastic! best thing ever, nowadays its just generic fodder with a gloss of star wars but that's my opinion, happy if other people enjoy it.

it's kind of like writing a prequel or sequel to romeo and juliet, maybe interesting as fan fiction or a school project but not of much use to a wide audience.

I think with anything really you end up with diminishing returns, its the profit motive, art/risk takes a back set, you can see it with star trek, alien movies, die hard or any franchise movie.
With star wars the initial film was a massive risk really as sci fi movies up until that point has 99% of the time been box office bombs. Once lucas relinquished control the primary thing is how can we make these films profitable, everything else is just window dressing. Not to say that these new films are bad, they are workman like and pedestrian in their scope as a result of being risk averse.
Hence why we are getting a Han Solo movie which is a bankable character rather than something new as the marketing does itself

I have to acknowledge that perhaps im overrating the original films somewhat, perhaps its nostalgia that is making me have these opinions. But I don't think that it is, if you cant see the subtly in acting, the ideas, the directing and the script compared to the Ersatz Disney stuff then its not an argument that will make sense to you

i don't care about han solo. i read earlier they're making a lando movie next.
i'm more interested in the new stuff and the trilogy that rian johnson is doing which will hopefully be thousands of years removed from the skywalkers than these prequels, only one i'd watch at the cinema is an ewan macgregor obi wan movie probably.

If it's not harrison ..it's not Solo.
if its not Mayhew in a Chewie costume, its not Chewie.
I think they should have made an older han ford movie whilst they had the chance...then later risk messing up star wars. They knew harrison would make a multi billion dollar block buster.
so it seems it is not just about money or making a good movie which the majority of people wanted.
Might be fun though. The kids will love it.
