COMMENT POSTED TO A FILM REVIEW IN THE GUARDIAN
“Solo: A Star Wars Story review – Han Solo origins film is boisterous bromance’
Beyond tiresome.
In creative terms, Star Wars has been the living dead since the first film.
And what a pathetically dull vision of space and other worlds.
Battleships and guns strapped to hips.
I wouldn't be surprised to find the Pentagon offers quiet support here to fire-up young male minds for war.
After all, the Pentagon, some years ago, began paying the NFL to have the players come out and stand on the football field for the national anthem. It increases military recruitment.
Before that, the players just stayed inside until the game actually started.
Star Wars is, after all, Disney now. Long a source of the mother's milk of fantasies making friendly and cozy the working of the American empire.
