I was under the impression that Star Wars has never done that well in china.
Not buying white people in martial arts roles imo. Makes sense, I get it.

He should have died in RoTJ to give that story some weight.
Correction: He should have stayed dead from EMPIRE.
As for the rest of what you said holy shit I hope you have a blankie for all that.
I agree with that, but the problems you presented with the reset are not TLJ problems, are we in agreement there? That it was TFA that put all those balls in motion? The Solo split, the miraculous recovery of the Empire, Luke, everything you said. Those are TFA problems, which I contend TLJ endeavored to honor and solve? We don't need to rehash whether it succeeded or not.And you can't just say "well time...duh!"
It's because the Jedi are based on samurai, and Chinese people hate the Japanese.Not buying white people in martial arts roles imo. Makes sense, I get it.
We talking about Han?Correction: He should have stayed dead from EMPIRE.
In my mind, Han was supposed to die in carbonite. Bad ass line on the way out. Harrison came up with it. No intention of returning.We talking about Han?
I heard he was originally supposed to die in Return of the Jedi, but after they recuse him from Jabba. I might be wrong about that last part. I'm ok with Han dying in Return but to save him from Jabba only to have him die later in the same movie seems silly. Killing him at the end of Empire would have worked. There was no reason Jabba needed Han alive except they wanted to keep Han around for the next film. Having the recuse attempt in Return fail leading to Han's death could have worked too.
I had forgotten that they made it seem like the carbon freezing might kill him. That would have been a good exit for the character.In my mind, Han was supposed to die in carbonite. Bad ass line on the way out. Harrison came up with it. No intention of returning.
But then the money.
Why would Han dying in Return be a problem? It was the last movie in that series. Him dying towards the end of that film would have been much better than resetting him back to square 1 and killing him in Force Awakens.You fucking momos saying Han should've died in Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi ...
If the prequels and The Last Jedi haven't taught you these movies are shit without a cynical, cantakerous insult-machine like Han Solo around there's no hope for your pitiful asses.

IMO they're wasting Finn and some potential.Han Solo is essentially a terrific RPG party character member. In the OT Leia, Luke, and Han would be the main party. Leia is attached to the main story and Luke has his own sub-story like Han. R2D2, C3P0, and Chewbacca are also in all 3 movies but are subservient to those 3. And then you have Obi Wan and Lando who are in less than 3 movies but can be considered party members and they have their own stories that interact with the main 3. Yoda and Wedge Antilles are guest characters. For 6 hours they do a good job.
The new trilogy fails in making terrific RPG party members. Rey has a story that is pretty Luke-esque and I would say Kylo also has a very good story. But Poe is a dummy, Finn is just around, and Rose is also just around. Finn has a potentially interesting back story but at this point they all just function as resistance agents. Poe and Rose could be the same character. Finn clashes with Phasma but that's because the resistance keeps sending him to where Phasma is, there's nothing really compelling about their encounters.
Thanks, bud. I try to speak to people on their level.Fun post.
Doesn't make a lick of sense, but ... fun.
