I wouldnt care at all, but I think it would become a HUGE thing if they had Fin and Ren end up hooking up. I mean like political/social thing. As a matter of fact I hope they do actually do it, but Im betting they chicken out.

Have you been living under a rock? Interracial relationships in film, or anywhere for that matter, haven't been "politically/socially HUGE" in decades. Especially in the sci-fi genre.

But that wasn't Star Wars. Remember the collective internet bricks shat about Finn being *gasp* a black stormtrooper? Him also becoming Othello has the potential to cause heads to a'splode, no matter how "progressive" we have gotten with our fantasy. I'd like it to not be a big deal, either, but again, this is Star Wars. EVERYTHING will be made a big deal of.

And Firefly is kinda unfair... any straight man with any sense would want to spend some adult time with Zoe no matter how racist you think you might be. Also, funny, considering how closed minded Wash was to the idea of an actual psychic, dismissing thwt as science fiction. ("We live in a spaceship, dear.") Not as progressive as you'd assume.

The only people who complained about Finn being a black stormtrooper were the internet basement-dwellers. The vast majority of people didn't give two shits. Remember how the internet exploded when Johnny Storm was made black? Yeah, not one person I knew IRL cared or even noticed. We all spend a lot of time in a forum, but we often forget that the majority of people do not. Hell, most of the people watching Star Wars are "casuals" these days, and "casuals" don't tend to have the polarizing opinions that "hardcore" fans do. Besides when has internet fanboy rage ever stopped something in Hollywood? I doubt Hollywood cares or even knows those whiners exist.

Those people "IRL" are the ones exploding the internet. They do it becuse they are anonymous and say their actual opinions without being looked at like a monster from their friends, family, coworkers etc. Dont be naive.

Hollywood is in america. Do not forget the history here. Putting a black man and white woman leads in a romantic relationship is still a huge deal here. That would hit to the soul of southern white america. Racism has not gone away. Look at the youtube comments on people who are interracial couples. Look at the hateful stuff said on peoples facebook pictures.

We are not talking about internet fanboys. We are talking about the population. When was the last time that america produced a balanced and truthful war movie? By that I mean showing all the awful things we do? Hollywood doesnt dare do it. Why? Because of outrage.... by mainly the same population described above.


Now its time to wake up wishbone you are going to be late for school.

You really are hilarious. You should get up off your computer every now and then, dude. Maybe stop going to 4chan so much. I think you're starting to lose touch with reality. That or you really need to move out of whatever Southern trailer park you might be living in. Either way there's clearly a major disconnect between the world you live in and the world most normal people live in.

Oh and at your school comment. I think you need to calm your tits, man. I'd expect that kind of idiocy from the Youtube comments section, but not this foru- nevermind, I actually totally should have expected that from this forum... Still, un-rustle them jimmies, brother.

Inter-species relationships aplenty in Star Trek.

So no, it's not even a concern that they'd chicken out. And in any case the FinnRey ship is all but confirmed with all the subtext in the second half of the movie. The only possible reason not to go for it is a) a KyloRey ship swerve (if they are not related), b) PoeRey pairing, and c) they keep her single to sell the 'empowered female hero' vibe, as romance would put her in a position of need from a man. As Rog observes, they seem to have gone out of their way to show she needs no kind of assistance let alone a dude's romantic validation (her oblivious to Finn's obvious interest is even played for laughs).

Don't think they thought that far ahead. Lucas said very often that merch flying off shelves shocked him.

The '3P0 got a red arm to sell more merch' is one of the stupidest things I keep seeing. I actually really liked it as a non-sequiter joke but it turns out we're getting a comic book to explain why his arm is red, because for all the complaining about Lucas, it turns out people really like his MO.

I'm more surprised about him not being a mishmash of various "new" parts by now. And the red arm joke, while funny, also made my aforementioned plot issue with BB-8 annoy me a little more.

What is your plot issue with BB8?

1. Why would Rey or Finn know to paint BB8?

2. It wasnt a concern of anyone's until Poe sent him on his way.

3. Where were they getting a can of paint on Jakku? There is no Home Depot.

4. They werent looking for BB8 specifically until they know he had the map.

5. This is like saying Luke and OB1 should've painted R2

Yes.

Poe specifically described BB-8 as "one of a kind", and everyone that ended up looking for the macguffin specifically described it as an "orange BB unit"... it is not the same as the search for the plans in the original, as nobody knew R2 had them.

But for sake of argument, let us say everyone looking for the Death Star plans knew it was R2, and the Empire were specifically looking for a blue R2 unit... the Rebels could paint, or cover with grease, or some other shit to disguise the blue parts of Artoo. There were already other colored R2 units in the universe... at least red, black, or green. C3PO's joke about the one red arm making him "unrecognizable" was only funny because it was just one arm. If the whole damn gold was replaced with red, it wouldn't be so funny, as everyone would legit question it being C3P0 specifically and not just some random other protocol droid.

Rei/Ray/Wray caught the idea of people looking for BB from jump. The "I'll pay you..." way more than she was ever used to getting form the scrap she was collecting, then after saying "no", she gets jumped and chased and shot at. If she can master the force and (sort of) fly a Correlian ship with no previous attempts, I'm pretty certain she can put 2 and 2 together on the droid being a hot target. Cover it, hide it carry it, paint it, something. Instead, she just continues around with it like it is a completely inconspicuous thing. As for Finn, he was specifically told by Po that BB was unique (which is how HE knew what to look for). Same thing; hide/disguise the fucking droid.

This "there is no Home Depo" shit is invalid, because they can paint insignias and numbers all over X-Wings and Y-Wings and landspeeders and any other ship or vehicle, they can expend a bit of effort to obscure BB's orange, even if they covered the little fucker with mud.

If an army were trying to capture and/or kill me, and everyone knows I've got really long dreadlocks, guess who is finding a way to shave his head *immediately*? Or at least cover my head. I wouldn't just keep roaming around like normal. *They* knew he had the map. That's enough knowledge to be as careful as possible. Nope, we just wander around with this unique droid that everyone seems to be chasing like it's no big.

It's a $4 billion plus investment for Disney. They have every right to make as much money from it as they can. If people want to buy it, then they will sell it

Might be worth a laugh but the group that tried to get a big boycott for the film because of it being "SJW Propaganda" believes they managed to generate $4.2 million in lost revenue for it and considers it as a big success.

The film itself already made over $1.09 billion since its release for some comparison.

Go back and read my write-up. Explained the Mary Sue thing in full. In fact not so much the write up but the replies to others where I go in further detail.

There is no way not to understand it.

Better, I read somewhere he didn't really like it and would've done something totally different. Feel like JJ did a great job in bringing everything together.

This is where I read it. Yeah I'd rather talk about George Lucas's opinion than I would worry about interracial couples or a woman being the lead in the movie.

I totally understand how George Lucas feels. I don't blame him at all. I love it that dude who made billions off of selling Star Wars probably wouldn't sell it again if he could do it all over. I believe he thinks that 1,2, and 3 are really good, and it kind of eats him alive that people hate them.

Also I bet his ideas for 7,8, and 9 are good ideas... However they probably wouldn't have worked if he was fully involved in the making of them.

George Lucas probably watches the Phantom Menace once a month, and everyime he says to himself "Everyone is wrong, this is good. It's the beginning of the saga that I want to tell."

I really respect that about him. I'm probably just as crazy as he is for thinking that, but I really do respect that.

Yeah I respect his opinion to, I mean he the reason for all of it. I think he may be having a little bit of regret about not being involved or even selling to Disney and I can get that. I personally feel that The Force Awakens did everything it needed for the franchise and got a whole new generation of fans interested in Star Wars. Something completely new might have done the trick as well but we will never know. I think making a movie for the fans was the right choice and don't really understand that bit of criticism from Lucas.
