[QUOTE="Dewannawonga, post: 502682, member: 10794"] In my opinion it was the best Star Wars film since the originals, it did have its Jar Jar Binks in L3 who almost ruined the film for me but seeing it shot to pieces gave me tremendous satisfaction. It was nice to watch a modern Star Wars film without the box ticking ‘right on’ casting where every single race, colour, creed, gender selection, gender orientation, religion, etc is portrayed on screen. However, what the hell did L3 add to the story? Far too much sass for a droid, obnoxious bra burning idiot who I hope never returns. On a separate note, the Guardian reports that the movie bombed at cinemas as opposed to the other modern ones in the franchise and may not return. But I have a theory on this, I didn’t go to the cinemas to watch this despite watching all the others at the cinema because I was let down in the last ones with all the left wing rubbish where every hero is a minority, I’d just given up and since watching the originals they’d spoilt the whole Star Wars experience for me. My theory is Solo suffered at the box office because die hard Star Wars fans stayed away, fed up of being let down by the franchise that they loved but was being changed for the worse. Akin to having a cheating partner but accepting them back, this was the final straw. I just hope Solo gets another outing, I didn’t think I’d like it because Harrison Ford obviously can’t play the part but I liked Ehenreich. The story line was also good, unlike previous modern SW films they didn’t try too hard in nodding to the originals, it was more subtle. Does anyone else feel the same? [/QUOTE]
