[up] Unless you count the prequels being one by a moderate part.

I mean, the RT consensus indicates that it may not be part of the greatest Star Wars films of all times but it's still a good entry on its own.

Completely expected.

I always knew this movie would amount to just decent. It was an accurate thought straight from the beginning, all the way back to the announcemnt.

Now lets see how much it makes.

I figured as much too. It seemed like a Star Wars take on a more swashbuckling action movie vibe, so it was always going to be good, not great, pretty decent, more popcorn than deep.

I'm totally cool with that, by the by. As long as the movie isn't bad, it's doing its job.

Frankly Just Good is how I see all the modern S.W movies anyway.

At least a lukewarm reception is almost refreshing after the absurd clan war of last december…

[up] Well, it's a bit leaning on positive, to say the least...at least, until the audience score from RT is shown again.

I think there will be a lot less vitriol thrown around for this film. It doesn't completely change anything about characters or influence the current plot. It's basically a filler film in between the Episodes. However, it will almost definitely get a better audience reception than TLJ.

All said, if it ends up that *SPOILERS* Darth Maul is indeed in it, that's already far more than I expected and that's definitely a win.

[up][up] Given the infection of certain overzealous types of people in any videos related to Star Wars and the whole “Lando is panssexual” thing, I feel it’s going to be a repeat of The Last Jedi skewed towards negative

[up] If that's the case, then the fandom has serious issues in accepting new things and should be rectified.

The "Lando is pansexual" thing is isn't even a good portrayal of pansexuality unless they actually depict it in the film (which they won't because it's Disney) but I already know it's gonna make the alt righters throw a fit. I've seen people whining about how they want "politics out of Star Wars", which...it's a film franchise where the bad guys are space Nazis. It was built on politics.

Wait he's pansexual?

Cause yeah if they don't show it onscreen then how would I know it from watching the movie?

Because they want brownie points like when JK Rowling made Dumbledore gay.

The alt-righters are already throwing a fit, as my You Tube recommendations threw alt-right looking channels whining about Lando at me after watching Star Wars stuff. You can’t even watch Star Wars related videos on You Tube without escaping them. There’s even a channel that exists to basically whine about progressive politics in Star Wars 24/7.

[up][up][up]

It won't be.

Disney has a poor track record with showing anything LGBT and has outright cut out scenes from Marvel films that could've shown LGBT couples or relationships. The closest was with Beauty and the Beast and while that pissed a lot of conservatives off, it also pissed off LGBT people who thought it was shallow representation. They gotta get that foreign box office, after all.

[up][up] They're still taking baby steps in its representation, so it's better not to assume they won't try to improve. And the scenes from the Marvel films are decided by the Marvel executives, not Disney.

That's not a baby step, that's a fucking millimeter of representation that's inconsequential as fuck.

Pretty sure Deadpool 2 is more progressive since Wade is actively lusting after Colossus in several scenes.

That is incredibly condescending. We have been patient for decades and they're throwing us table scraps of representation. We're starving for something.
