I musta missed something, I didnt get that Lando was shagging a robot?? It was late when I was watching it, s maybe I missed the innuendo
Nah it was nothing in my eyes. A real stretch to say he was pansexual(?), was it the actor that said that because if it was never said I'd never have suspected
My understanding is that the robot suggested that they were rooting. The innuendo was there at least.
Your understanding?
Maybe watch first, throw comments later?The droid was commenting on relationships and, as part of the droid character having problems accepting that it wasn't actually human, inferred a crush on Lando and a belief the feeling was mutual. The comment thrown back was 'is that even possible?' to which the reply was 'oh yes'.
I would never have taken it as sexual innuendo if others hadn't bleated on about it and drawn out the pansexual comment about Lando. To me it was about having a strong (read loving) relationship between a droid and human.
The other thing to realise is that once this droid 'dies' its IP and personality is absorbed into the Falcon which is part of the backstory as to why Lando feels so strongly about the ship and how Han and Chewie were able to outrun/outsmart the Empire for so long.
I thought it was an interesting addition to the SW universe.
But hey, if you want to make it about gender politics to prove your point about why you don't like a movie you haven't seen then feel free.So they were inferring the possibility of a sexual relationship between a robot and a human? In a SW film. Thanks for clarifying it. But hey if you think that's appropriate in a SW film give yourself an upper cut.
So you read into that the 'possibility' of a sexual relationship and I'm the one that needs an uppercut?
A therapist would have fun examining that thought process.
A machine with no sexual organs MUST be having a sexual relationship with a humanoid because it has human tendencies of strong feelings resulting in a 'crush'?OK
Yeah sure Crucial. The guy who thinks the idea of a droid and human in a romantic relationship is weird is the one who needs a therapist. And if you reckon that scene did not imply a sexual relationship you're a bigger idiot than I thought you were. Ffs the guy who wrote the scene has confirmed it.
Just saw the scene. You think that belonged in a SW film? Put aside your insane devotion to your side and give me an honest answer.
Not sure why I'm replying if you are going to throw around insults but yeah, I have no problem with it being in a SW film.
After all we had a bit of sibling snogging in the OT and that hardly caused every teenage kid that saw it to rush into their brother's/sister's bedroom did it?But at least it was two humans. Droid-humans relations, ugh
Not sure whether to post a picture of Patricia Bartlett or Graeme Capill.
Her first scenes are of her trying to convince a droid engaged in a cage match to stop because it is hurting it's own kind. She starts a droid "uprising" on Kessel. She talks shit and does it with swagger and a smart mouth. She's too much of a parody to be taken seriously
Except by people that haven't seen the film or the context but are experts about it. Yep, just like I remember Patricia Bartlett.
I have seen the scene in question Crucial. Is there anything else I need to study to become an expert like you?
Maybe the rest of the movie so that you understand the droids character?
And that will somehow justify a scene in which she hints at sexual relations with Lando?

My main issue is that she is an astonishingly shit and annoying main character and there's been a few of those in SW of late.
I don't know what you're talking about. Holdo, Rose and the Locksmith were awesome. I'll bet the kids just rushed out to buy those toys.
Fark TLJ was absolute shit.

Tbf I'm not ripping on the film (which could be decent) but the needless inclusion of droid-human intercourse into the SW universe. If these people want to be activists in their own time then power to them, but keep this shit out of SW.

Didn’t bother me at all, now if you asked my opinion on Jar Jar, young Anakin ( Anny), and those Asian Trade Federation representatives from PM then it would be different

You seriously had no issue with those 3 characters? The only major new characters I would add. Just think about that. New SW film and the only new characters are a purple haired lesbian, a dumpy mechanic chick and a stuttering locksmith. That's just shit. No way you can defend that.

Never said I hated them, nothing about any SW film drives me to rant and rage on a forum.
Those characters I mentioned are ones I cane up with at the top of my head as my most disliked. Don’t hate themRemember fear leads to anger... anger leads to Hate.. hate leads to suffering..

No but anyone criticising them gets slandered as sexist and misogynist. Which makes you a really bad person for doing so.

Actually, just back on this. The problem with your response is that you're comparing apples with oranges. TLJ is film 2, while you're referencing TPM. So let's take AOTC. You have Fango Fett, Count Dooku, older Anniken, Obi and Padme, the clone troopers etc. In other words new and cool characters and development of the existing ones. You also get to see Mace Windu and Joda do their thing. You get jack shit in TLJ. Ffs, Luke doesn't even fight, he's just a hologram and that kills him! Damn, how much more evidence do you need that this was a truly awful film and a massive dump on the SW legacy?

I hate all the modern Star Wars movies. That being said, I actually enjoyed Solo. So if like me you think there's been nothing good in this space for decades, give Disney a chance with this. It has Ron Howard as director, so it's already on the winning track.
Yep, it will be good to get a 3rd stream going over on that thread - so far we've got modern haters, prequel haters and we can add hates everything but original trilogy.
Whats your stance on the Ewok movies?
Never watched them because I hated Ewoks. They were originally meant to make Wookies look like teddy bears. But then as a primary school student I wanted the Empire to win...

I haven't seen them decades but loved the 2nd one as a kid. Probably wouldn't like it as much as an adult. The ridiculous this is that the first film is about this boy and girl finding and saving their parents. All happy and heart-warming, yet in 2nd film, boys and parents are killed in the first 5 minutes. Bit morbid.

I think I've only seen one - Caravan of Courage, was that the rescue their parents one?
I think that they were released at the movies in some countries, including NZ, but were TV movies in US.
