Ah, who cares at this point. Star Wars is done; it has made its permanent contribution to the world's art and culture during a period of unparalleled artistic genius and verve. The Star Wars films that mattered were made in the late 70s and early 80s. It's done and left for us to absorb, savor, and reference in loving memes.

Any attempt to extend it to this time is destined to be equally stillborn, presenting a texture as deadly and evacuating as the original was rich and nourishing. Nothing more appropriate than for a DYKE to be the avatar of this blankness.

Man I remember when Phantom Menace came out. The 90s were coming to an end and everyone was so excited for the 2000s to be upon us. New Star Wars movies using computer animation!

I hated it from the get-go. I think it took some people a little time to admit to themselves that the movies are just bad. In a way, Episodes 1-3 were a harbinger of things to come from Hollywood over the next decade.

You have to admit though the episode I choreography was the best:

Star Wars is a property owned by Disney. Disney is actively promoting the SJW agenda. For example, ABC, which is owned by Disney, broadcasts Modern Family. And ABC Family, another Disney property, broadcasts The Fosters, about an interracial lesbian couple who are also foster parents.

The Fosters. . . I never thought I would be able to imagine a situation where it would be appropriate for a teen boy to fap thinking about his two moms eating each other's pussies.

I recently re-watched Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, only the second time I've seen it in about a decade. My god, could they have been any more ham-fisted with the whole Jedi/Sith modern political parallels? Every second lightsaber swing it seemed Ewan Mcgregor was yelling about "democracy!!!" or something to Hayden Christensen's equally ham-fisted angsty face.

I had no desire to see episode VII as soon as I knew they were making one.

It wasn't just that the prequel trilogy sucked (though I was too young to realize it at the time). At least the prequel trilogy though actually fit into established Star Wars canon from George Lucas.

But this "Force Awakens" bullshit doesn't, and I knew this was going to be yet another way to cheaply milk an established franchise for more money while delivering shit quality and lazy writing, sprinkled with some special effects to mask it. I knew it was going to be nothing more than an attempt to abuse Star Wars' franchise authority for a quick cash grab.

When I saw them begin to pander to SJW's earlier in the year, it redoubled my assessment, though with yet more impetus not to see the movie because of my distaste for the narrative.

Lucas sold out.

I hate that about the whole genre. Powers change as the plot demands, absolutely no consideration for continuity.

If you think about it Star wars is really about communism vs fascism. The empire are fascists and the "rebels" are Che Guevara type revolutionaries. The Jedi are ideal space communists..ideologues who forego earthly desires for ideological purity and communal sacrifice.

The republic fell because it became too tainted with corrupt capitalists which is why the fascists were able to take over. The noble jedi communists and their comrades swoop in at the end to save the galaxy.

George Lucas is a communist.

"Happens" my arse.

What "happens" actually means: the character was deliberately-designed to fill a diversity quota to force the acceptance of progressive ideology down the throats of the fandom.

This SJW stuff that gets injected into everything just sort of automatically turns me off the stuff it infects. For example, The Walking Dead used to be my favorite show of the past decade, but when they aired the episode with the fags kissing, it just died to me. That was the last episode I ever watched, and I didn't even bother to finish it.

Thing is, I didn't have to try not to watch that show. I didn't have to exercise any self-control. I just simply didn't want to watch it anymore.

The same thing may be happening to me with Star Wars now. It's bad enough they had to bull-doze the expanded universe to make room for these new movies, now these new movies are likely going to be very sub-par propaganda films.

But I would have been excited to see a Thrawn trilogy. Imagine if, instead of all of this SJW BS, we had a movie about a strong admiral - a military genius - who actually had a way to defeat the alliance and restore the empire! And even had a way to render Jedi useless!

They could have been some of the greatest scifi movies ever. But no, we get a recycled story about a guy who didn't know he was a jedi and a "strong" female all fighting a generic bad guy.

If i want to watch anything, it's before 2000 or the 90s.

Just finished watching the Rocky serie, Fight Club and now watching Rambo and Married with Children.

Yeah, and it's looking like the Han/Luke/Leia/Chewie bunch may be getting shoved into the background. I used to like how in the expanded universe, they kept those characters at the front, and then built on them. e.g., Luke got rid of all traces of whiny-ness and became a bad-ass Jedi Master. Oh well.

How am I supposed to relate to Rey? She's a tomboy. This is a movie for boys and the main character-presumably Rey- is a girl. That makes zero sense. I am not black but at least Finn is a guy and I can relate to him to some extend.

I mostly relate to Kylo Rey, a strong man. However, why is he the villain? Is masculinity the enemy? Why does shattered empire features gay characters how can I relate to them? It's a movie and franchised targeted towards YOUNG BOYS. Why all these women and LGBT characters?

I get the hesitation in regards to this movie due to them putting the female main character front and center in the poster, but really guys? Movie isn't even out yet and everyone's already acting like they've seen the whole movie sh*tting on it like a Dubai sponsor sh*tting on a $10 instagram-whore. Why don't we wait until the movie comes out and some of us are actually brave enough to watch this supposedly PC-extravaganza before we decide if it's as bad as everyone here makes it out to be. I mean, couple months ago the same thing was happening in the Mad Max thread, only for some to come back here after it released saying it wasn't THAT bad. Let's not judge a movie by it's poster now.

On another note, imo, I highly suspect this isn't really targeted at young boys, but more of the crowd who grew up with Star Wars, was disappointed at the prequel trilogy, and making this as the second coming of the first trilogy, and aiming more towards the nostalgia of Star Wars. For sure, those audience will indeed bring their kids (the young boys) to watch it to create a new gen of fans. But I think the primary target is the nostalgic OG fans.

To be fair, it was in the comic. Later on in the series, one of the gay dudes gets his leg blown off and dies, leaving the other one to lament about how he's the last gay man on Earth.

If they decide to make Carl gay or they introduce some random alpha male badass character who "happens" to be gay, then yeah, they're definitely getting subversive.

It still beats the hell out of (LGBT)Z Nation.
