    I think Lando was maybe even still understated in this movie.  Playing Lando, you could even quote the cat from Red Dwarf and it wouldn't seem odd.

    I saw it for the second time today and I noticed that the Arrestor cruiser actually does appear in the film. I can’t remember exactly where, but I know it was in black and white and sat between two Star destroyers so I think it’s in the propaganda/recruitment video right at the start when Han is trying to escape Corellia. Thought it was one of those diplomatic ships from the start of the phantom menace the first time I saw it.
    So I guess it’s canon ?

    So I thought I'd give you the benefit of the doubt and watch the videos so that I could try to understand where you were coming from... 
    I couldn't see the relevance of the first one and why you'd shared it, and in the second one, the person that wrote the letter that is quoted has completely misunderstood pansexuality, and therefore many in his audience will have too.
    Being a pansexual does not mean 'trees and toasters turn you on' (to paraphrase), but rather that sex and gender do not come into the equation where romantic feelings are concerned.
    I've always assumed that Lando was Pansexual, as Captain Kirk must be, and probably Starlord too. If you're sleeping with aliens, even if they look like a female humanoid, chances are their culture does not consider gender in the same way as ours, and their DNA and evolutionary journey is not a direct mirror of ours on Earth, and therefore are not genetically 'male' or 'female'.
    And for the record, I hated the Last Jedi, but that was because of poor plot points, a feeling that they treated the characters with very little respect, and humour that works in Marvel films, but not so much in Star Wars films. I actually like Rey, Finn and Poe, I think they're great characters, but the film was terrible.
    Boycotting Solo is a bad move in my opinion, simply because this is a good film again, that caters to the fans far more, but if it doesn't do well then Disney will assume the fans do not want more movies that do just so.

    of all the reasons to hate TLJ it’s because of equal rights? Because it’s not JUST white guys and one damsel in distress? 
    Dont get me wrong, I HATED last jedi, but not for any of the reasons you listed above (well, I agree she **** on the old characters but that didn’t have anything to do with SJW)- poor plot filled with holes, marvel movie type jokes, and bad, lazy writing are enough reasons to hate the film. 
    The fact that you feel “personally attacked” that people of color and women have lead roles is frankly quite pathetic. 
    “The little guy” struggling to survive (ESPECIALLY under the rule of the Empire) is a huge thing in Star Wars- it’s pretty much how the Rebellion started.
    You are only hurting yourself by not seeing Solo- it’s a very well done film that transported me to my favorite galaxy from start to finish

    It was AWESOME!!!! I absolutely despised the last Jedi with how it handled old characters, plot holes, pointless storylines, cheesy 4th wall breaking marvel universe type jokes.
    This had none of that. The actor nails “Young Han”- the story is well thought out and delivered excellently. I laughed, I was on the edge of my seat, got me in the feels, everything I wanted out of a Star Wars movie.
    and it FELT like Star Wars.
    I don’t know what kind of shape it was in before, but Ron Howard salvaged it and knocked it out of the park

    GoT being multiplayer is what helped me to get my friends addicted to it, as it is I only rarely play Netrunner because the 1v1 format is not so inclusive, particularly if there's an odd number of people. I am hoping there is a multiplayer mechanic for this game.

    Also, before I go off to sleep, there is one card that I wanted to comment upon. It's the unnamed Hida woman that people suspected of being O-Ushi. I love that she manages to hit the right balance between "everone is pretty like actors in a TV Show" and "I'm awesome first, sexy accidentally"; the thing I like the most about this art is her hair. Look at it.
     

    It looks like she, in a desperate attempt, got her long hair together and chopped it off with a knife.

    This is RIDICULOUS, this post is way worse than the 4 words that were replied, just screams over reaction, and is simply looking to incite even poorer behavior from the community. If that managed to actually hurt someone's feelings, that person may want to seriously consider getting some professional help.
    Perhaps you are trying to make the rest of the community pay by making them consider not telling us anything lest they say something that might upset your delicate sensibilities.
