Boss_Hogg Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 This woman was actually being serious. She thinks the Star Wars franchise is very racist. whatever, just shows anyone can be offended about anything. In fact I remember when Pat Robertson and this other obese woman on the christian channel were offended by the Harry Potter series because of the withcraft or something. I was living in the bible belt at the time the movies and books came out. Fun times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justice98 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I remember first hearing it in Chasing Amy - the gay black dude pretending to be angry afro-american activist. And that was played for laughs. This is almost a fire-breathing offense just for the stupidity fact alone. This woman was actually being serious. She thinks the Star Wars franchise is very racist. whatever, just shows anyone can be offended about anything. In fact I remember when Pat Robertson and this other obese woman on the christian channel were offended by the Harry Potter series because of the withcraft or something. I was living in the bible belt at the time the movies and books came out. Fun times But it's so ridiculous, it's not even worth our attention beyond laughing at the hilarity of it.

Zazzaro703 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 After much inner turmoil, I've decided to go see the movie Friday at 10am. There is just too great a chance to get spoiled. I was going to wait a week or so hoping things would calm down, but I just feel with the Internet the way it is getting spoiled is just too great a chance. I haven't been to the movies since the Dark Knight Rises. Really wish you could just pay 30 bucks and watch it at home but it is what it is. I figure with kids at school and people at work, we won't have to get to the theatre too early to get a seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll probably wind up standing in line next to four nerds who are there for their second showing, and want to discuss the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZRagone Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 MSNBC Host: 'Star Wars' Is Racist Because Darth Vader Is Black The countdown is on for the seventh installment of the "Star Wars" movie franchise, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," and one MSNBC host isn't particularly excited. On her show on Sunday, Melissa Harris-Perry asserted that "Star Wars" is racist. She explained that when iconic villain Darth Vader was in his black costume and voiced by African American actor James Earl Jones, "he was terrible and bad and awful and used to cut off white men's hands, and didn't, you know, actually claim his son. Kevin Smith did it better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh they will get a very large angry viking to tell them in, no uncertain terms, to STFU, if I run into that. Read some of the reviews, one reviewer called it "too long" Still at 94 on the tomato meter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taco Bell Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I gotta feeling there's gonna be some serious disappointment around these parts. I am just expecting disappointment so then I can hope to be pleasantly surprised. It worked for the new mad max so hopefully it will work here. Going into the movie thinking that essentially history is being written in front of my very eyes as to what is "canon" in one of the largest IPs ever is way too much pressure for this movie to surpass.
