I would read Aftermath if it wasn't gay propaganda.

Its supposed to be a book trilogy that covers events between VI and VII. The author made a main character gay and promises to delve deeply into that aspect in the final 2 books.

Sorry, not trying to derail.

How is that "gay propaganda"? If an author makes a main character, I don't know - hispanic - would you call that book "Mexican propaganda"?

Actually - never mind. Don't answer that. No one wants to go down that road in a Star Wars thread.

That should be the least of your reasons.

The main reason NOT to read it is the way it is written and presented to the reader.

Ugh.

I'll actually agree with the gay propaganda statement. The author went out of his way to do the gay thing with multiple characters. It was unnecessary and definitely part of an agenda as opposed to actually doing something for the story.

But whatever... Others might not see it as a big deal and that's cool. One of the worst books I've ever read, regardless of the authors personal mission statements.

No, and maybe propaganda isn't the right word to use, but there is a big difference. It seems a little risky to try to appease 2% of the population while at the same time turning off a greater percentage of potential readers.

I wouldn't really consider anything that's been posted in there a spoiler yet. It's like 2% actual news/plot.

One day... One last day that isn't Star Wars day. One hump day and we will officially be at opening day.

What I really can't believe is how it feels like 2 months when I fired up the Xbox and showed my kids the first teaser. They had me rewind like 10 times to see bb8 over and over again. And yet here we are......

There are gay people in this world. Who cares if a character in a novel is gay? Treat it like any other relationship in a book and move on.

That's like saying what does race have to do with Star Wars. Did you ask that when John Boyega was cast as Finn?

It's irrelevant.

Damn it. Was looking forward to watching Collider's review in an hour until I realized it's midnight PST, not EST.

Why are you just now complaining? Jar Jar was a gay, Muslim.

Looks like this is going to continue to be my escape from A&M sports. The meltdown is about to get going, it appears.
