Your Opinion on Disney pushing a political agenda in TFA?

I love how he goes from talking about the portrayal of homosexuals in film to erect penises in two posts. 🙂

Simple minds, Joker. 🙂

How good?

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.

8 or 8.5 out of 10. IMO Into Darkness > Beyond > 2009 ST, but I haven't watched Into Darkness and the 2009 one in a while so *shrug*.

Interesting, I'll make sure to watch that then.

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.

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

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

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

TR-8R is the FO Stormtrooper we need.

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?

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. 🙂

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 😬

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.

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

...Oh wait.

I haven't seen either of the two previous films, went in to watch it with my husband anyway because he wanted to see it. Absolutely loved it, already watched the previous two films and booked tickets to go see the third for a second time now.

Was a solid film tbfh 🙂

Who's your favorite character. 🙂

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.

Nyice, the other two films are pretty sweet tbh, and I was never into to Trekkie.
