The point being there are a lot of movies to double their opening weekend from one movie to the next.  I was wrong in thinking there were only a few.  I don't think Ant-man will get to 100 mill opening weekend, but history is not on my side.

 

So you're saying that puts Han Solo 2 at???

Part of me thinks it’s an American thing. 

 

At at least I hope so.

i'm sure we have different phrases coded to mean the same thing. idk, i haven't read enough daily mail comment sections to find out.

Did you play the game LA Noire?

No. I’m just saying there’s so many openly racist and sexist people that cling to the franchise that I am now uncomfortable with it.

 

If you took that to mean that I’m calling you a racist then that’s on you. That’s a jump that you made. You know your opinion isn’t based on race, yet you took me saying that there’s a shockingly high amount of racist Star Wars fans as me calling you a racists. Why?

Because that is what every conversation about TLJ turns into..

 

 

 

I am Indian, and I know a lot of fellow Indians and minorities and females such as colleagues, cousins and my sister who all had issues with TLJ.

 

So when I hear the accusation that most people who disliked TLJ are white basement dwellers and mostly hated it for sexist or racist reasons, I dont buy it because those idiots were the same ones who hated TFA and RO and no real effect on the overall audience reaction to the film. So where are you guys basing this narrative on? Its a nonsense argument that you guys repeat endlessly.

 

The reality which I find more likely is some people who watched TLJ just did not like the pacing, some of the characterization and the storyline.

Can we please just all agree TLJ was a polarizing film due to its character and plot choices and leave it at that? 

It's so polarizing people can't even agree on that.

[Mekanos]

Also a ton of "SJWs" hate Last Jedi too. You can take one look at Tumblr and see for yourself. Just saying.

it's super cool that i've never met a person who'd say stuff like "SJWs" or "identity politics" or stuff like that in real life. could you imagine hearing those phrases, like actually spoken out loud by someone who meant it, and not immediately trying to cut your own ears off? SO embarrassing. 

It’s a combo of cringe and horror irl

if anything alt-right/conservatives got what they wanted after shitting on tfa, rian decided to cater to them

What if I hated TFA for being a stale incoherent retread and hated TLJ for trolling anyone who had the slightest bit of interest in the characters or mysteries introduced in TFA? Is that an okay reason to dislike those movies? Let me know, I don't want to be a bigot.

I still remember my 14 year old neighbor who said out loud "feminazis ruined Star Wars" and that they're intentionally killing off all the male characters. It makes me wonder what the hell kind of discussions go on in high schools these days.

[Zakiyyah6]

I hope all of the Star Wars movies flop from here on out so that I don't have to deal with this damn fanbase anymore.

Ok, but if you had interest in the characters and mysteries introduced in TFA, doesn’t that mean you kinda liked it?
