Heisman is the one who always cries about race baiting while he's race baiting. Not surprising to see the 2 resident racists liking each others crap and giving each other high fives for who can win the biggest scumbag award. We'll go all liberal and give you both a participation trophy. Maybe that time machine is ready so you guys can back to the 1800s and live in peace.

Hey Catdaddy, go eff yourself, you liberal queef. Look forward to your next celebration of cops being killed.

You're the worst.

The Death Star is a massive boondoggle and vanity project from the big-spending bureaucrats in the Coruscant-Kessle axis of power. Guarantee it'll go over budget yet again.
Emperor Jurich was quite pleased with his pillage of empire taxpayer funds.

Now, ladies of the night.

When the third Death Star blows up, will it be because of an exhaust vent?

In a made up story, in a made up galaxy far far away, it's "organic" to cast white, male actors, because that's just how it was, dammit. But to cast female or black actors is an agenda and not "organic." In a made up story. About a made up galaxy. About made up characters. And it's the first thing a person brings up in a thread featuring a poster about a new Star Wars movie. Got it.

I'm sure you're really concerned about tokenism.

In terms of JJ Abrams' casting agenda, why don't you just ask him?:

"We wrote these characters but when we went to cast it, one of the things I had felt, having been to the Emmy's a couple times — you look around that room and you see the whitest f*cking room in the history of time. Its just unbelievably white. And I just thought, we’re casting this show and we have an opportunity to do anything we want, why not cast the show with actors of color? Like not for sure, and if we can’t find the actors who are great, we shouldn’t, but why don’t we make that effort because it wasn’t written that way and isn't that the cooler version of doing this as opposed to saying ‘this is an urban show’. It f*cking kills me when they call something ‘an urban movie’ like its a separate thing, like ‘its that thing over there."

So JJ is not saying he'll take a black person over a more qualified white person. He's saying that he'll cast a black person who is great. If that gets you riled up enough to make that your first observation on a sports message board (or start a hashtag trying to get people to boycott the movie), cool story.

Are you purposely trying to put your head in the sand and act like people do not have agendas and use entertainment and forms of media to push a narritive?

The latest "it" thing is feminism and "diversity." So taking a franchise that in six installments showed at no point were women considered storm troopers, in the military or even in the sith and then changed the sex of a character and made this "badass" female to be the general of an army of stormtroopers? Then made sure the focal point of the poster is also Rey.

Then you have the casting of a black male lead despite only two black males in the entire galaxy in the previous installments and a director saying the people auditioning were "too white" and the author of the novel associated with the story before the film making the protagonist gay and I'm supposed to be dumb enough to not see the obvious PC agenda?

I don't remember the storm troopers ever being identified by gender. I also intentionally drank enough alcohol to delete most of the prequel trilogy from my memory

There were females Jedi's in the prequels. There were female Jedi's (and one Sith apprentice) in The Clone Wars cartoons. There were female rebels in the OT. If anything the white, human Empire of the OT was the result of the Emperor's xenophobic, Pro-human stance which is backed up by the (now non-canon) multitude of EU books, comics and games (which also featured a plethora of females and people of color both on the Imperial/Rebel side, the Sith/Jedi side and the days stretching back into the history of the Old Republic Nomi Sunrider for the mothertouching win!) The Empire were space nazi's and represented as such in the films to be blunt.

Are you that threatened by women and people of color taking prominent roles? Are women and people of color not allowed to be hero's or villans in a friggin space opera? Society evolves, times change, get the touch over it.

p.s. there were more than "two black males" in the OT and the PT. The damn A-wing pilot who brought down the Executor in Return of the Jedi for example.

Yeah, it was noted that it was a vast improvement over yelling racist after getting owned in a debate.
Are you retarded? Never ins, you are. Every person in this thread has called you out for being wrong. There's no race contreversy. It's because you're a racist and every issue is about race. Obviously, you walked into a bad scene involving your mother and 8 other dude when you were young.

We both know I'm right.

Well now that the movie's political views have been throughly discussed. Does anyone think it will be a great movie to see? Or do we have to wait until after the election?

Tickets are available now though, although it's tough to get through at the moment. Depending on where you live, that may not be a big deal, but if you live in a bigger city and want to see an IMAX show, then you probably need to get them sooner rather than later.

I won't go on opening weekend. I'm a fan, but I'm not facing those kinds of crowds. I need to be able to sit quietly and take it all in. No über nerds. Just plan ol' regular nerds for me.
