I don't see all that.

Read what he wrote on his tweet. I would agree the original SW was what you said, but there is obviously an agenda to it now.
Exactly. Couple that with JJ saying before TFA that SW was "too white" and the fact that this one has a 100% non-white male group of protagonists (including the guy who starred in the heavily embellished The Butler movie) and the fact that all of the villains are white guys - it's pretty obvious that there's an agenda.

And again, funny coming from a bunch of child molesters.

The director also chimed in with a comment about the empire being fought by a "multicultural" group led by a woman.
This is something which is problematic with this upcoming film. The events in this film are supposed to take place immediately before Star Wars (Episode IV: A New Hope).

The Rebels depicted in this film are mostly "human" but of many different ethnicities (reference: the Rogue One trailers). The Rebels depicted in Star Wars are mostly "human" but not of many different ethnicities (reference: the strategic planning meeting on Yavin moon base, Death Star attack, and medal ceremony scenes from the Star Wars movie).

If this new film leads directly into the old film, what happened to these Rebels of other ethnicities? Where did they all go until Return of the Jedi? Do they all die in this film? If they don't all get killed off, where the hell are they when the main Rebel base is being attacked (you know, the entire premise of what is going on in the first movie)?

Seems stupid. Maybe it gets addressed in this film, but I'm doubtful.

TFA, Rogue One and the future films may be in "catch-up" mode in this respect, but I do not think it represents what the individual quoted in the OP implies. We just are not given a great deal of information in the original trilogy films in this regard.


TFA isn't the Empire, though, it's the First Order.

Please don't make me argue to defend these weepy SJW writers anymore.

I don't know. I'll get back to you in a year or so after I've watched it for free on cable.

Honestly, even without the SJW bullshite, I just thought TFA was lame and Disney-fied. Lucas made a terrible mistake selling out to them. Warner Bros. would have done a much better job.

I saw Rogue One.

Two Things. First. Yes. TFS blew arse. I sat stunned at how bad it was.

But. Rogue One was SUBSTANTIALLY better. It's hard to believe the two movies are even related the difference was so glaring.

As to the white people Villians part. Honestly, I saw nothing PC about the movie and generally, stuff like that seems absurdly obvious

The female main character's pep talks sounded like they came from a little girl,other than that I didn't find the movie political at all.

Count me as not a part of said funding. I haven't been to a movie theater since Dallas Buyers Club.

It's difficult for me to care any less about such a mediocre movie franchise. Really one of the most overrated things during my lifetime. The acting sucks in each film and its plot is simple. Have the fans been satisfied with anything since The Empire Strikes Back? All I hear them do is bitch about teddy bears, jar jar binks and Lucas.

I hate to admit it, but the last 45 minutes of Rogue One may be the best in the series since The Empire Strikes Back.

Stephen Colbert went off on the guy over this. Going for frick's sake keep this shite out of Star Wars, because first off they're led by a black guy (Vader), and secondly everyone sees themselves as the Rebels, with Trunp supporters thinking Hillary is Emperor Palpatine and Hillary supporters thinking Trump is Senator Palpatine. He just said he wants one thing not politicized this year. And this is coming from Stephen Colbert of all people.

That makes sense...especially if you're a whitey/Imperialist like me.

White people are the reason why these movies make money. Hope he doesn't have to rely on minorities to fill theater seats. That's for every movie pretty much though.

Maybe the white people who made the movie decided to make the villains white so as not to offend anyone.

Imagine if they made them all black or something. Surely that would be racist.
