I watched the trailer and went 'hmm...nice battles but, seems like a Battlefront game. Also, seems that someone is missing.' It took me four nanoseconds to realize it was Luke. He's nowhere to be found. Then I see the 'final poster' of the film, one in which said actor is also missing, replaced by some mysterious figure in a cloak and mask. Gee, wonder who it could be? /facepalm
The real downside though isn't that the film is directed by that liberal weenie J.J. or even that it frowns on whitey leading the charge against the Empire. It's that cock-starved female with the lightsaber and the manly attitude, any male Jedi of which could make mincemeat of in ten seconds flat. Shades of Mad Max: Fury Road?
Pass.

I'm with you, I was just on the phone with someone and I was saying that I expect the battle scenes to be good but the story to be very 'safe' and watered down. Like everyone is going to get a participation ribbon or something silly as to not offend.

Given my experiences with the Hobbit movies, which performed the same massacre of beloved source material and hamfisted insertion of gay/grrrrrlpower propaganda, I don't think I'm going to bother even torrenting this, let alone going to the cinema to see it.

The only thing I like about films of this scope is the CGI improvements. It pushes graphical hardware tech forward and gets the future geniuses interested.

Saw the trailer. This movie is probably going to suck:
-Black Jedi/Stormtrooper, just because we need diversity. (and i thought stormtroopers were clones of boba fett's father, jango fett)
-Female empowered character, just because grrrrl power. Which also appears to have the force.
Goodpoints:
-No Jar jar binks
Trailers nowadays suck so much. They all have this pseudo dramatic music. It's like they all bought the same format
Avengers, Bond, Star wars... wtf?
I will see the movie, surely will be entertaining, but I am "afraid".

I saw the first preview with the stormtrooper guy they have here, and could tell he was going to be a whiny bitch just from the heavy panting and sweating he was doing while on the desert planet.
Not saying that the actor himself is a pansy, but sure plays one from the previews and promotional material
While I have no idea why they're making a stormtrooper the focus of anything (weren't stormtroopers clones?), they could have at least given it a little depth and comedy with Don Cheadle or the guy who played Omar from the Wire.
I know they're going with a young guy because they want a lot of mileage out of this actor. From what little I've seen he doesn't look like he has much on screen charisma.
It's kind of interesting that most of the time, black actors tend to be paired up with latinas - no doubt the black stormtrooper in this new star wars movie is going to have a lily-white love interest. I know that cuckservative has been making the rounds for a long time but I'm pretty convinced that a lot of people in hollywood (liberal or whatever) are cuckolds too.
They're trying to drum up controversy with this one but I really doubt that the "white genocide" tweets on twitter are genuine - it was just two guys who wrote two tweets - probably studio heads pretending that there's a big white power anti-StarWars "movement" going on to make their SWPL/SJW fanbase even more rabid about watching the (probably shitty) reboot of this franchise.
I'm not a huge fan of Star Wars by any measure but this one probably won't even be worth torrenting.

The stormtroopers in movies 4-6 were not clones, clones were phased out. This was part of the story before the newest movie was even made, so there is no reason to be upset with a black actor for a stormtrooper.

I don't mind the 'strong female character' so long as it's noted (by us, the media, whoever) that these women have nothing in common with modern feminists.
The 'strong female character', i.e. Charlize Theron in Mad Max, is extremely fit, resourceful and loyal. Remember the scene where she invites Max to come with them? Her delivery, to me at least, clearly indicated that she knew she needed a man around. Likewise, the girl in this Star Wars trailer seems to be a resourceful, fit young woman who was born with nothing and provides a counterbalance to the male characters.
Modern feminists are fat, lazy, entitled and selfish. Most were products of upper-middle class comfort and know nothing of true adversity. Whereas women in these films are in peak condition, the modern feminist couldn't walk a block without running out of breath and blaming it on the patriarchy.
So if the feminists want to try to associate themselves with these characters, I say they should go for it. It would be truly hilarious.

The movie's kind of funny in that it unintentionally promotes the view that white cat ladies are the top of the diversity hierarchy and will be the savior of all the minorities. It's something a lot of minority leftist activists hate but grudgingly accept.
I won't be seeing this movie in theaters. In addition to all the PC shit it just looks uninteresting. Plus they already leaked everything that happens in it and yes, it's really bad. I think people are going to be mad they wasted their money on this.
It's not Mad Max in that it's "feminist" but features a white guy who has to do everything and keep them from unintentionally killing themselves because they're incompetent weak women.
This movie totally buys its own bullshit hook, line and sinker. Story sucks, characters suck, stupid shit happens and sacred cows that shouldn't be fucked with are slaughtered.
Need I remind you all that this is made by Disney, which is basically just a propaganda arm of the SJW movement at this point? It's pretty much what you'd expect.

You shouldn't be surprised. Hollywood is in the business of making money. Strong female leads appeals to current society HENCE it makes money.
I've studied and been involved in film for a while. If you can be subversive with it - A solid red pill film would annihilate the box office.
Put it this way:
If you try to game a girl and be blatant about what you're doing - She will shut you down faster than Usain Bolt.
If you game a girl correctly she will tell her friends about this guy she met. She'll use the words 'spark' 'connection' 'chemistry'.
IMO film is the same. If you can pull it off the audience will be clueless. It will appeal to their biology. They won't know why. They'll just like it.
