At first it looks like JJ is pushing a minority agenda with this movie and of course is pissing of the people who loves their status quo.

Personally I don't like agendas(of any kind) to be pushed in games or movies but still going to see day one midnight because star wars and because I already bought the cosplay.

Charles Manson gets fanmail and is married. The world is full of idiots

I doubt anyone can react to this more succinctly.

This might sound like the old guy in the room, but: I'm over the Internet outrage machine. When it can't find a legit thing for you to be outraged about, it hunts for something. We're talking about morons. And morons love to be talked about.
 
Pretty sad that we have people literarily unravelling the secrets of the universe and then we got these fucking idiots throwing a fit over the amount of melanin in ones skin. Jesus

Fucking racist bullshit

John Boyega is literally going to be the best character in the movie and I recognize that as a white guy

Seriously i dont think they could have cast a better person for this role.
What is this even based off of? All those shots of him breathing heavily? The single line he has in the trailer? Come on man, the movie isn't even out yet.

That he was legit awesome in Attack The Block maybe? I'm expecting him to be a contender for strongest character/performance based on that role but hey, we've seen plenty of veteran actors given shite material they can't save even with the most acclaimed filmography behind them.

Kinda thinking Daisy might steal the show here though, or rather her role+chemistry with Boyega.

Let's just watch how this plays out, shall we?

How old are you?
 
No problem with him being black but he doesn't look badass enough. Maybe he'll look badass if he's bald wearing a jedi robe.

Mark Hamill in A New Hope looked like a Boy Scout. The characters evolve. I'm sure this guy will look properly bad ass as the movie and trilogy progress.
 
Expected this to be a handful of people that doesn't merit a "movement" nomenclature. Found that some in this very thread speak of agendas. I'm gonna need a scotch.

Yeah, black man beats out role that majority white men auditioned for must mean "minority agenda"

Despite JJ saying they picked the best people for each role.

This is so meta. You are mad that people are mad that other people are mad at the new Star Wars movie.

I am actually kinda curious about this though, because to an extent I can understand where you're coming from. But it makes me wonder.. What is an acceptable level of racist shitheads spouting off filth on the internet? One or two people just making a couple dumb tweets to no one in particular, ok whatever you can ignore them. How many people have to repeat it before it crosses the line?

He's not calling it acceptable, and he's not defending it. He's putting some context behind it, knowing that when you have hundreds of millions of people with internet access, there are people are going to say stupid shit.

Casting a non-white actor for a role is now pushing a minority agenda?

LOOOOOOOOOOOL get the fuck out of here with that bullshit.
 
Hmm, people actually took this seriously? This reeked, and still reeks, of a 4Chan-esque troll. One step beyond microwavable iPhones. Actually, the best comparison would be the "piss your pants for feminism" stunt from a few weeks ago.


This whole thing just doesn't pass the smell test.

You're one of those people who looks at black people with good jobs and thinks, "Affirmative Action hire" aren't you?
 
This is what happens when only one black man is cast for every three movies

You've been quoted ad nauseum by people excited to tell you how wrong and awful this post is, but I wanna do it too. *ahem* The fact that everyone in Star Wars is white is a product of a pro-white agenda, so literally the worst-case scenario is that J.J. is instituting an agenda to very slightly counter-balance the extreme whiteness of Star Wars. And ultimately that's the issue - you've likely never considered that Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford had a racial advantage, that the way things worked in Hollywood ensured that being the most qualified actor was less important than being an actor who the majority of movie goers would want to see (aka, white). So, let's assume that this weird, small-time conspiracy theory that John Boyega - a better fit for the role than Mark Hamill - is in the movie because he's black. So what? I can only assume that you don't take issue with it happening with white people in most of the movies you watch, so why is it an issue here? Shouldn't you be more outraged that the most advantaged group is getting special treatment that leads to a racial unbalance?
 
i mean he was pretty gud in attack the block i guess

I'm sure in Star Wars he won't have the benefit of looking like the most stoic badass ever because he's not going to be set opposite a cast of obnoxious teenage blowhards. He also sucked in 24, but that and AtB are all I've seen him in. Regardless, he's in a movie with Oscar Isaac so I personally doubt Boyega will be the best part.

this guy knows whats up
 
It's not like the original Star Wars had a black actor in it.


Doing the most iconic voice-acting in the history of film-making.




Playing a main character.
 
when did "agenda" turn into a key-word that actually means "the blacks and women"?

"plz no AGENDA forcing in my media thx"
