Lucas is Jewish? Anyways, that is a stupid retort to think Lucas is racist just because he has Jar Jar speaking an alien language, that might resemble an African language. It's just people trying to take him to court to make some easy money. It is a simple, pathetic scam, that by the sounds of it, was taken nowhere. I am so proud of our judicial system. 🙄
Yeah I meant the US, I forgot, sorry. Anyways, yeah because of the US Judicial System, many people have filed lawsuits for such idiotic things which should be pinned on the prosecuters. One lady was suing the McDonald's Corporation because she spilled coffee on herself and said it was because the lid wasn't on tight enough. Another incident which happened in the city of Denver, a lady sued the Capital because she tripped on a crack in the sidewalk. The funny thing is the Judicial system will take these cases to the Supreme Court if they have to, they don't even have the balls to say "Quit your whining, your not dead."
If I`m not wrong about the outcome of the coffee case is that she "won" a lot of money and the coffee cups have to have careful coffe is hot on them, by the way Lucas is no rasict. By leting the different characters talk english in different ways, you get the impression off they coming from different systems. At least I do.( a lot of different here 🙄 )
After the Storm Troopers looking slightly like the KKK, I wondered what other racial connections could appear in the Star Wars saga. Imagine how cool it would look with an enemy ship that's shaped like a swastika!
Or is that evil? Would Star Wars then be banned in Germany, because I've heard the swastika is illegal there. Still, the ship would look cool 😄
Oh please! He's creating a make-believe world, that (hopefully) doesn't have to conform to the narrow-minded goals of lame modern political correctness. The characters with "ethnic" accents are portrayed as neither being simply good or evil. They are a bit of both. These movies, as interesting as they are, are escapist entertainment. They are about good and evil, light and darkness; these are elements which exist within ALL of us. I think episode III will clear up the matter of the fine line between light and dark in the sw universe, as we see a man with the best of intentions, fall short of his promise and turn on those who "failed" him.
Jar Jar does not sound like an african american, for god sakes, i never heard a black man who sounds like JAR JAR if he did he would get shot or put in a str8 jacket!
that was the most ignorant thing anyone said during the whole Ep1 box office run, its just people who hate lucas who wanted the movie to fail.
they said hmm JAR JAR is played by a black guy so lets turn it into a racist issue, its retarded and pointless to even argue with ignorant morons who come up with this shit.
it pisses me off how people hear some BS like this and they run with it all over the news, its so freakin stupied, if a white guy had played JAR JAR what they would call that racist to have a white guy play JAR JAR?
its freakin idiotic!
JAR JAR is an alien nuff said, not black or white, just an alien he is a gungan get over it people!
geez!!
