Solo [Official Info] Solo: A Star Wars Story - May 25, 2018

That's what I was thinking. And if you listen, he sounds like Woody.

 

I have a feeling losing L3 is what convinces Lando to officially get out of this life for good.

 

Nope, still not what that phrase means today.

A good example of SJW behavior is JJ Abrams saying that people who have problems with TLJ are just intimidated by women. Scoring points.

 

Why do things around here always descend into politics and agendas being pushed and...oh never mind

How else should one describe an SJW movie without saying SJW?

This movie is called SOLO I think it is fair to say that Solo should be the hero in his own story don't you? Now if we find Han is useless at everything and constantly gets belittled, would that not be a problem to you? There is no hate in what I said. I just want a good story and adventure that does the characters we know justice.

 

Wow. This movie looked dead in the water a few months ago...now it looks like it’s going to own all of our asses.

 

The use of term like "SJW" is intended to be demeaning and dismissive. Personally, I never understood the use of that term as an insult. I can't think of anything better to be a warrior for than social justice.

 

He specifically said that in response to the complaints about women characters being in the forefront (weird complaint about TLJ) and the cut of the film that removed the women. At least I pretty sure he did. If that is the case, would that be wrong?

 

My thoughts reading this thread now:

 

The Solo poster has come out in local cinemas - taken when I was going to watch Avengers: Infinity War last weekend... Even if I was hoping that it would be the latest version actually!

I think the biggest problem with the term SJW is that no one agrees on exactly what it means. It doesn’t have a long history of usage like, say: radical environmentalist, white nationalist, civil rights activist, or libertarian. Even very new political terms like “men’s rights activist” or “anti-racism” seem to have much firmer definitions. One key element I’ve noticed with “SJW” is that almost no one seems to unconditionally identify with it. As someone who considers himself a liberal/leftist, I think that it can describe both positive and negative aspects of leftist thought. In the below diagram, David Auerbach illustrated a framework for identifying leftist concepts along an axis of Trust (x), and an axis of Agency (y), and I think SJWism fits somewhere into the Moralist Cluster, maybe even in its deepest corner. I’d highly recommend reading his essay to anyone interested in online politics. #JeNeSuisPasLiberal: Entering the Quagmire of Online Leftism

 

Beckett in the gunnery position, yes.

Han and Chewie are taken inside the Kessel plant as prisoners (inside job) and that's Beckett in disguise as their warder. Qi'ra and Lando take on the role of Slavers probably.

 

That’s a pun amazing achievement considering how powerful Black Panther was at the box office. Very promising signs.

 

I'm wondering whether L3-37 takes the droids away with her on another ship? All those freed slaves and droids must go somewhere and I would guess that those corvettes on the poster are actually part of the Kessel fleet (which they commandeer). Of course L3-37's free droid colony could always come into play somewhere in another movie....

 

K2-SO was hard enough, how much more loss can I take?

 

I think it's great that they are touching on this subject. In every movie we have had examples of droids displaying 'human' behaviour. If they can form friendships, look out for each other, even have a vicious streak (EV-9D9 I'm looking at you), etc. then surely they are touching on sentiency? The freeing of slaves runs through these movies so to see it from the droid's point of view will be something new.
