And Leia has chosen not to treat it as assault given she is in a relationship with the man, in love with him, and they're in wartime.

Their unhealthy relationship being resolved by the ending of the movie.

In the situation of being in love with a man and torn by duty versus love to him, what is an appropriate way to respond in that situation?

...to treat it as assault and sock him in the jaw. Because it's an unhealthy relationship that the movie doesn't acknowledge. Stop victim blaming the woman and drop it, because I'm done with this sexist nonsense.

I think you're infantalizing Leia and treating her as a weakling.

But I think making women victims is not a good thing.

I also think she should have punched him.

I think his look is good.

Really, Donald Glover as a young Lando Calrissian is all kinds of yes in general.

I liked it. Not perfect, but easily a 7/10.

Donald Glover was a perfect casting choice. He was one of my favorite parts about the movie. I was grinning ear-to-ear when he first appeared on screen. I also enjoyed his first card game with Han, even if I could tell what was going to happen.

I fully expected that at some point, Qira was going to betray the shit out of Han (not just betray him, but betray the shit out of him), Han was going to cry "But I love you!" and Qira was going to turn around, smirk, and say, "I know."

I fully expected it.

But what they went with instead, with Lando and Han, was just as good, if not better.

Its a good thing they didn't cause every-time they focused on that asinine romance I was cringing till my neck felt like it was gonna break.

Though I'm probably not in the majority, the romance didn't bother me all that much. People aren't often with just one person for the entirety of their lives, so it I didn't mind seeing that there was once someone before Leia.

Yeah, I didn't have a problem with the romance at all.

It's annoying because it's a waste of potential.

They could have given Han any motivation in the world but they picked the most lazy & generic one.

I think it's time to retire "lazy" as a catch-all critique. Any trope can be played well, no matter how common. And I personally didn't see a problem with Han and Qira's relationship.

They mentioned that Han and Qii'ra were childhood friends, I would have liked to see more of that.

Do you think we'll see Qi'ra in other movies/works?

EDIT: Yep XD https://slate.com/culture/2018/05/solos-qira-stars-in-the-star-wars-forces-of-destiny-season-2-finale-video.html

There was also a 3-year timeskip in the movie where stuff was unaccounted for.

Best movie of the year. Only problem is that some parts make me wonder if I need to go and watch Rebels.
