China: "Solo" to drop the Star Wars name, renamed "Ranger Solo"
- Thread starter sfortunato
- Start date
It's not a matter of what I want; it's a matter of what Chinese audiences want. And that seems to be a story that sells itself without relying on iconography or references to other Star Wars films. If Disney were to introduce ideas that are completely new, then they'd have to treat them as things that have to be explained to a new audience, and that's exactly what Chinese audiences would count as. It's how the Marvel films work, but that's not why Disney makes Star Wars films. They want to indulge in familiar things like Jedis, the Force, stormtroopers, and the like.
The wording may be reminiscent of wuxia warriors, but it's also not all that different from Han Solo's actual role in the early films.
"The movie looks horrible because I don't like the toys."
Stop. It's dumb.
Does china even have sentai shows?Sick. It's become Star Wars Sentai.
Changing the name is silly, there is what is called search engines. If people think they're trying to trick them into seeing it, it may tank even worse.
TFA not as bad as TLJ.
Alt right groups say part of the problem has been injecting too much political ideology into the films. Though I don't know if that's true.

Asia renames things all the time. I teach in Japan and sometimes my students try to ask me if I've seen a movie and I have no idea what they're talking about. I look it up and discover it's a popular movie with a wildly different name for no reason.
