it could be that you're just a fan of Peter Morgan scripts?
Funnily enough, not hugely. Have to give credit where it's due to Richie C, Morgan's stuff often comes across a bit pedestrian and made-for-TV in other hands

haway man, what film were you watching?
There were a few pointers in 'The Force Awakens' (Han and Leia being separated for example),
A what?a Marvel style SJW motivated post-modern mire
What has a political perspective have to do with star wars?Whether you think it is there or not might depend on your own political perspective. There is definitely something going on with Disney. For me 'The Last Jedi' was the point at which it became abundantly clear that they were pushing Star Wars towards a Marvel style SJW motivated post-modern mire. There were a few pointers in 'The Force Awakens' (Han and Leia being separated for example), and Rogue One seemed to some extent have had some of that forced upon it, but The Last Jedi is really just propaganda for a very twisted outlook that just wants to shit all over an escapist film. You can not even hide from the miserable bastards in a galaxy far, far away.
I don't think the approach can last much longer because the reality is that even the casual followers of the film by and large rejected it, and the executives will eventually realise that their executive producers are using their properties to push their ideology at the studio's cost. Then they will start sacking the senior producing management and maybe they might bring some real talent to produce their works.
Personally, I would have given the trilogy to Jo Cornish, a supreme talent who seems to be perpetually sidelined by the industry, who has absolutely no interest in pushing a political agenda. It is not like the likes of Kathleen Kennedy are not aware of him as he directed Boyega in his big screen debut 'Attack the Block' the film that won him the role in Star Wars (also starring the new Dr Who, Jodie Whittaker). They are frightened of Cornish as he was a self-made man in the industry, who did not rely on favours or film school buddies to get his breaks. He is capable of skewering political dogma by exclusion.
I think the Han Solo film is going to be average but passable, ultimately staid and boring. I think Alden Ehrenreich was a good casting choice (I actually had seen him in something a few years ago and thought that would be a good role for him) but in the teasers he looks like he is acting pretty wooden. I would guess that is going to be another film ruined by reshoots and interfering with the direction. There were reports that Kasdan and Kennedy were complaining that the original directors were not shooting multiple angles to give room for choice in the edit, which is the point where it sounds like the directors rightfully told them quite firmly to fuck off. They could obviously see the meddling that was coming down the line. It sounds like the original directors wanted to make a film with firm decisions and Disney/Lucasfilm just tried to shit all over them. George Lucas and Irving Kershner were both very committed in their shot selection, as any decent director should be.
I have a sneaky suspicion that Ron Howard's direction under Kennedy and Kasdan's edict is going to suck all of the joy out of the film. Kasdan is considered Star Wars royalty, but it is a real royal fuckup to let the man on the set. I think Emilia Clarke is a terrible piece of casting, as is Thandie Newton. It is like there are only about four people they cast in every film. I would not have cast Woody Harrelson as he is just Woody Harrelson in everything he does.

What has a political perspective have to do with star wars?
I’m hopeful he’ll come out with something decent, seems has managed to reshoot a large amount of the screen time.Agree too the Ron Howard is the completely wrong choice for the Han Solo film.
How could you not include Nicolas Cage in that list!Woody Harrelson is from the established Hollywood tradition of playing every different character the same. Bogart, Wayne, Connery, Keitel, Eastwood.
Didn't think it'd be out this summer. Have they brought it forward in the hope that people forget about the last one?
Well they're suggesting he's joining the Empire... that'll not wash. I think they're delibrately playing with the audience there - he's probably just posing as a wannabe recruit so he can nick summit.
It's the latest hobby horse for angry internet people who think that slightly more prominent roles for women and ethnic minorities and occasionally too touchy-feely themes and opinions is the worst thing that has ever happened to western civilization, while an outbreak of far right hate speech and death and rape threats is something we can just overlook.
Also fun and ironic: the new Trumpoloid activists never had a problem when Disney was run by an actual Nazi
It is unmistakable that 'The Last Jedi' is overtly in service of political dogma of the SJW
Anyone with sense would have ignored it.All those paragraphs, and anyone with any sense stopped there

A great bunch of lads.
Are you not one of the most 'anti-racist' people on here? It sounds like you are making some kind of racist comment here.
