Well there's two bushes and two Iraq wars

Wasn't there some absurd analogy to Bush in 300 about a lone wolf? Reaching.

So are Finn and Rey supposed to be into each other? It'd be lame if the movie was used for typical social propaganda.


Social propaganda? First off, as has already been pointed out, we don't know a dam thing if they're going to be a couple or not. Second off. Wtf? An interracial couple is social propaganda? No. Interraci couples are pretty common. a little under 10 % of couples are interracial in the us and in parts of the south, it's over 15%.

Yes. 1 in 10 is common for anything. There's a lot of people out there.

The trade federation, the elected queen and the attempt to placate every ethnic group in the casting and characters (some of which was kind of racist). There are others, but I don't want to watch the movie again just to remember them.

I think Lucas let wine country liberals crawl up his arse when he made those movies.

Today’s Lucasfilm presentation at Disney’s D23 convention was heavy on news pertaining to other future films in the Star Wars franchise, but one The Force Awakens nugget of particular interest was dropped: the length of the movie. Or the current length of the movie, to be precise, since J.J. Abrams and his team are still in the midst of post-production. Regardless, while taking the stage to tout the seventh episode of the Star Wars saga, Abrams said the initial cut of the film is running at about 124 minutes.

Now of course this isn’t the final runtime and things could shift one way or the other by a couple of minutes, but this is our first indication of just how long the highly anticipated Star Wars pic will be. And for comparison’s sake, here are the lengths of the previous six Star Wars movies:

A New Hope – 121 minutes
The Empire Strikes Back – 124 minutes
Return of the Jedi – 131 minutes
The Phantom Menace – 133 minutes
Attack of the Clones – 142 minutes
Revenge of the Sith – 140 minutes

No Leia, Luke, droids, etc. makes it Struzan's worst Star Wars movie poster and that is coming from a fan of his that was glad to see he came out of retirement to make it.

Yes it is. Changing it to 100/1000 instead of 1/10 is a trick. Say 1/10 people or 10/100 or 100/1000 die from a specific disease. That would be the deadliest disease mankind has ever seen at a 10% k/r. How many people do you see on a daily basis? 20-100. Imagine if 10% of them are gone from a singular occurrence.

I am staying as pure as I can for this movie. I am not looking at anything on the internet except reading discussions here. I am also allowing anything that comes directly from JJ.

That's it.

So this poster is my first time seeing that Finn is going to have Force powers. I'm assuming that based on him having a light saber.

Ever notice it is almost always black men and white women? That isn't by accident.

Get back to us when movies are regularly made showing white men with black women.


You're seeing what you want to see. Zoe Saldana is with a white guy in damn near all of her movies.

that poster tells us something that hasn't been brought up before.

Mace Windu's relative seems more likely.

Stop arguing semantics. You are looking like an idiot and yet another looking to derail the thread like bluboy.

This movie was maybe one of the first to do it. Racists like Weagle and Bluboy still probably hate it.
