Rightwing Star Wars “fans” are not true fans

-> Ignore List.

You people think everything is progressive just because at some point in time, they added a black person or female character. Give me a break. Everything woke becomes garbage and all of this forced diversity and the hiring of mediocre POC actors to meet these quotas is what's killing these once great franchises.

You sound absolutely ridiculous. Seriously.

So you’re only allowed to discuss the show if you like it?

I don't see. I just see your fear of being labelled "a racist nazi bigot" yourself. Which is - let's be honest - just a label issued by not that well educated people using simple boilerplates.

These dirtbags are why I've never gotten involved with the fandom, there are so many "fans" who are filled to the brim with hate and anger, they've seen the movies a bazillion times and learned nothing from them, and all they want to do is yell and ruin the discussion for everyone. And some of them aren't just awful human beings, they're racists as well, and they're going to bitch and bitch about the new villainess because she's the new target for their obsessive hate.

That's what they get out of all the joy and beauty of "Star Wars", targets for their obsessive hate.

Liar

Racists and incels always complain about what they label as "affirmative action" hires because they expect ALL HIRES to be white men. That self-entitlement from right-wing white males is racism and misogyny.

White males only make up 30% of the population, but believe entitled to 100% of the main roles in TV series and movies!

The OP is 100% correct.

"their arguments are because they "believe" she was hired only because of the color of skin"


Thats the same f**ing thing

just the way the racist bigots like to phrase it .

I’m not confused that you’re totally silent in response to the actual poster that eviscerated your post. It looks like everyone else in this thread is likewise taking you to task while you’re flailing at a bystander

I know for a fact the "race" of Darth Vader was always an issue for some (both from the white and black perspective). David Prowse is dead now, so I can say tell this story. I met Prowse in person at a Star Wars convention some years ago. This was before the gargantuan "Star Wars Celebrations" of today. Well, not so much "met". I was in the same room with him at a panel, so I saw him in person. Anyway, I'm sure you've seen raw footage from ANH were Prowse is speaking the lines in his own Yorkshire accent. The performance is terrible. Prowse has claimed over the years that he had the understanding that his own voice would be used in he the final cut, and wasn't aware he had been re-voiced by James Earl Jones until he watched the film at the premier. This was some 20 years later, and Prowse was still complaining about how his voice should have been used. It made me and some others in the audience a bit uncomfortable and embarrassed for him for not acknowledging what Jones had brought to the role and how important his voice was to selling the character. He then said that Billy Dee Williams had been hired to "appease the black faction in the United States". My impression of Prowse was that he was a very working class Brit who felt that his union job had been taken away by a black actor (a Yank black actor no less), and he was still nursing this grudge decades later. I have heard other people with anecdotal accounts of Prowse's resentment towards James Earl Jones for "stealing his job", so this wasn't an isolated incident. Yes, race has always been a thing in Star Wars.

P.S. I found Prowse a very charming and interesting fellow despite that sour note. I'm not saying he was an evil person, but he was a working class product of his time (Enoch Powell, etc.) and still carried some of that baggage.

Huh? The clones were never Latino. If you're referring to Temuera Morrison who played Jango Fett, he's Māori and partially white. Before the prequels, it was assumed that the stormtroopers were all white men. Lucas moved towards more inclusion for the prequels.

BTW, Latino is an ethnicity , not a race. There are white, black, Indian and mixed Latinos.

The rabid racist fans complained about Finn's race long before the movie came out.

I thought she was trying to do "barely contained psycho", not "cliche angry female"! Cliche angry females don't chop off people's hands just because they're a bit miffed! But yeah, right now the character needs to change from "barely contained psycho" to "completely uninhibited psycho", now that the brakes are off. I hope she can pull it off, and bring a bit of psychotic glee into her role, all my favorite villains enjoy being a villain!

But yeah, the fake Jedi was a highlight, I hope they bring him back! He might be my favorite new character!

You started this thread and the only person yapping about her skin color is you.

There is nothing in ANH which indicates that the Empire is racially motivated. The prequels don't indicate this either. We follow mostly human characters because we are humans and want to see our own as heroes.
