At worst I see a double turn at the end of 8 followed by everything being"ok" by the end of 9. Maybe a Poe or Chewie death scene

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.

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).

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.

Now that he is not Biggs anymore. I think Poe and Rey will be entering Bang City. Finn got friendzoned by the slight kiss to the forehead.

He said Fin and Ren though, he's suggesting they be gay for politically/socially reasons or whatever.

There is that, but he also seemed not only completely unsurpised at her abilities, but how exponentially stronger they were becomming. It seemed a tad out of character for him to simply "slightly annoyed" with this instead of getting all bitchy and pissy and "WHY IS SHE STRONGER THAN ME!?!?" mother of all tempertantrums about things.

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.

I know. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't forgo all the money that stands to be made for somepotentially epically un-telegraphed storytelling. Since this is all speculation anyway, I can also see Chewie snapping and becoming a badass submis bounty hunter (a Wookie Punisher? The PunKashyyk?) and General I-don't-have-boob-armor is actually a deep, deep cover Rebel spy in disguise who has to display being a hardass to not blow her cover. Like Snape. Or Book.

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.

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.

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

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.

Do you mean painting 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

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.

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.


https://www.yahoo.com/tech/george-lu...153745258.html

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.
