Remember the first trailer came out and he was the first person you saw. That bait and switch was nasty work
Yeah, I remember how cacs were mad about it thinking he was going to be the star. When the other trailers hit and news spread that he wasn't the focus of the movies, their attitudes changed.

Shame cause i dont think George would've have did that shyt :francis:

Shout out to John Boyega though. Hope he gets a franchise he can head one of these days. Dude's a dope actor and obviously not a c00n. Nor on no weirdo creep shyt like Johnathan majors :huhldup:
I wouldn't be surprised if George Lucas regrets selling the property to Disney. Yeah he got paid, but Disney totally mismanaged the franchise.

:mjpls:



Kennedy wasn't with having a black co-lead and letting him have the force. They completely neutered Finn in the second movie and to add insult to injury added an unattractive Asian woman as his replacement love interest.

The Ren/Kylo relationship made no sense and was just weird.

That too. Hollywood is crawling with cute Asian broads and half-black half-Asian broads that would've loved to be in Star Wars.

The girl from You would've been fine too. Stuck Finn with her instead :beli:

I’ll be honest, I never really cared for Star Wars. That was always too nerdy for me (Anime is my limit and even, only a little). But damn, this thread was really eye opening.

I knew they did Boyega dirty but not this bad. Turned his character into a jobber and gave him below mid Asian as a consolation prize? Yeah, I don’t blame him for still being bitter at Disney. CACs. :scust:

Ended up doing her dirty too. Instead of writing a better character arc they just ghosted her ass in TROS.

nah

the money play was to go all in on baby Yoda

giphy.gif


Ahh,the latinos.


One day they may be very powerful,but they just arent ready to be the key yet. You cant rush these things.



And also if this Baby Yoda character is powerful just because hes the same race as Yoda. Why wont Star Wars touch on the probable link between melanin and "the force"? No matter how much they try to convince you the European was the only one who could beat Palpatine,we already saw a regular black man beat Palpatine on a whim.




Was basically blindsided by another European, then Palpatine did the equivalent of taking out the strap because he was losing the fight. Yet somehow this isnt acknowledged and its framed as only the SkyWalkers could:gucci:?


Add that to the fact Boydegas character was "force sensitive" and fought the top guy in the new franchise with zero training. And there was a powerful black woman i remember in one of the newer franchises that people were hating on. They really need less Lukes and more Leveons. But white supremacy wont let them see it:respect:#TheKey
