Your Opinion on Disney pushing a political agenda in TFA?

This and the plot ruined it for me. It's not like the two main characters (a girl and african american) were casually introduced with some logic behind it, instead they awkwardly shoved down our throats with no logical reasoning whatsoever. Rey somehow defeats Ren with no experience wielding a lightsaber before that point or formally training in the force. Phasma is the female commander of the elite storm troopers, the main antagonist is white. There are plenty of articles on it.

I really hope they don't do this against with Rogue One or Episode VIII but I already know they will.

No one wants politics integrated into Star Wars or any movie for that matter.

Don't like. Don't WANT. sad

So one needs "logical reasoning" to make characters female or black? laughing out loud



How did ROTJ Luke Skywalker beat Darth Vader? How did ESB Luke give Vader trouble?



And?



More female characters on screen? OH MY GOD! roll eyes (sarcastic)



Sorry. The only one who "integrates politics" into Star Wars, is the guy that complains about the fact that it doesn't match his agenda. Which is pretty much laughable.

cs_zoltan
I don't mind that the lead is a female, what I mind is that Rey is a god ****ing awful character. A pestilence for star wars. Worst thing since Jar Jar.

Can't wait for Kurk's reaction when the gays invade the SW movies. smile

It don't surprise me none. Hollywood has been shoving it's views down our throats for a very, very long time. And it looks like they will be doing it again with Rogue One.

This ridiculous reaction is proof of why we need more diverse casts. erm

Exactly, what would we do without these amusing diatribes. smile

I'm fine with gays, but if they put a gay guy in there with stereotypical gay-guy-voice I'm gonna cringe every time he speaks tbh.

Read this article: http://www.returnofkings.com/75991/why-star-wars-the-force-awakens-is-a-social-justice-propaganda-film

I don't have a problem with minorities or women, but they tried too hard and it doesn't seem natural.

Tbh Beni, it does raise a point about the SK base shields and the FO Troops are suppose to have this undying loyalty right? Phasma just chucked shit right into that, she betrayed the FO much worse than Finn, yet people scream TRAITOR! At Finn like he's the biggest offender.

TR-8R would be terribly disappointed.

Beniboybling
Which has nothing to do with the film being "social justice propaganda".

cs_zoltan
They were also right about Rey being crap, which is the only part I read tbh.

Zenwolf

I know, I'm just talking about the article in general really.

TR-8R is the FO Stormtrooper we need.

Kurk
Beni how can you ignore the fact that Rey defeated Ren with no training in the force or lightsaber combat whatsoever before they met? Luke trained and still lost. It's like they're pushing this feminist message too far like women are entitled to win without working. What other characters have pulled off such a feat?

ares834
Or it's like they are pushing their hero and trying to make her appeal more to the masses to maximize profits...

TR-8R is the real hero. smile

Rey is one of the worst character ever despite her gender, but if she'd been a guy no one would care about her being a Mary Sue erm

Which you've decided to be the case, ironically thrusting your own political agenda onto the movie in doing so.

Regardless Rey kinda needed to win that fight to establish her as the heroine, maybe it could have been done in a better way but it really doesn't warrant getting butthurt over lol. No more than Kenobi slicing Maul in half in TPM. Get over it.

cs_zoltan
Like how Luke had to beat Vader to be the hero in ANH or ESB? mmm

...Oh wait.

Was a solid film tbfh smile

...Oh wait. No like he had to blow up the Death Star, whereas in TFA they didn't have a Kenobi to give you a lightsaber fight.

ESB on the other hand is a totally different beast, and I expect Rey to lose her next bout with Kylo.Originally posted by Selenial

I've only seen Into Darkness, it was boring as ****. I thought because Star Trek is boring, but after TFA maybe it was because of JJ mmm

All three are pretty solid, yeh. I actually really enjoyed Scotty, even if his comedy was rather forced at times. Anything for a Scottish accent....

DarthAnt66
Sel, I'm going out with a girl tomorrow.

Tips?

Beniboybling
Tell her about Revan. smile

DarthAnt66
How do you think I got this far? wink

Selenial
Two in the pi.... Wait nvm, you're 11 mmm

I'd say be yourself but I'm guessing the objective is to get her to like you, so that's out of the picture.

Nah but seriously, be confident, not cocky. That's literally it. Don't be overbearing or forceful, but take the lead. If you've got the date she obviously likes your character, just don't **** up smile

They're doing it with the Dark Tower series too simply to pander.

And it's also great how it's just ANH again.

Zenwolf
Eh I didn't see it as ANH, similarities but it didn't capture any of the charm imo.

FreshestSlice
That's because it was just exactly the same thing over again with a new paintjob. No one wants to pay $5 for a new skin on their assault rifle like this is an Activision game.

No, she seems very sweet and pretty. smile

Still nothing compared to me, though. smile
