Anthony Ingruber would’ve been the perfect young Han Solo, as he looks exactly like a young Harrison Ford.
I thought the same at the time Solo was going into production. Physically, he’s perfect. But just 'cause he can do a spot-on impression of Ford as Han doesn’t entail he has the necessary acting chops to carry an entire movie.
Someone should cast him in a fan-film to test his mettle.

You’re right.

I think the Overton window in North America is skewed so far to the right that your average citizen thinks anything more progressive than milquetoast centrism is “radical leftism.”
That’s decades of Red Scaremongering for you (not that assholes like Stalin didn’t play right into their hands).

The series would be better if in ROTJ Luke was Vader’s son, but Anakin was still a different person. Leia could be a little older and the “real” Skywalker.
Yes.

The USA really isn’t all that bad. Yes it has serious issues (such as the whole abortion issue), but it’s still a decent country. It is in NO way a “shithole”. Be glad you’re not living in North Korea.
Tell that to all the Indigenous people who died or lost their culture to genocide, and the black slaves who experienced the same. Tell that to every poor American currently suffering and dying needlessly to preventable illness due to America’s inhumane health care system.
As for those living in North Korea, I’m sure they’d be doing a smidgen better if the US hadn’t first bombed the place to near-oblivion, not to mention all the sanctions in the decades following.
But I’ll end my spiel here, if that’s your wish.

TFA was an underwhelming disappointment. R1 was a decent fan film, but the writing was clearly on the wall; this franchise was running 'round in circles and would continue to do so to diminishing returns. I couldn’t be arsed to finish the ST or check out Solo.

The Nordic countries ain’t socialist, either.
I would define them as socialist. Socialist =/= communist.
They’re social democracies. Social democracy =/= socialism.

If a corrupt neoliberal oligarchy degenerates into a fascist dictatorship, just transition back into that selfsame oligarchy.
Star Wars is a terrible guide to follow. Trek’s better. Woefully utopian and short on theory, but still better.

I guess the higher-ups at Disney got scared at the prospect of doing something original.

Nearly 20 years we thought, nearly two decades, a generation. Now instead only 8-9 years. Not such a long time, now.
Do you not think 9 years is a long time?
Not speaking for Emre1601, just myself. Nope. Not at all. Hell, even twenty years feels like yesterday to me.

Shelagh Fraser and Mark Hamill shared a close enough resemblance that it’s easy to buy their characters as biologically related. Beru also seems to regard Anakin’s memory with more warmth and happiness than Owen ever demonstrates. Those are the reasons why I think Beru makes for the better Skywalker sibling.
I like Owen better as Ben’s brother. Resentment/jealousy over Ben leaving the farm to become a Jedi — along with Ben’s botched training of Anakin, especially if Owen and Anakin were best friends — go a long way towards explaining Owen’s antagonist with Ben and his overprotectiveness of Luke.

America is an authoritarian, imperialist, settler colonial shithole and has been so since Day 1. Just as evil as the British Empire that sired it.
