Imagine complaining about new characters being different races when you have over a century of movies where 90% of protagonists (probably more in genre flicks) are white males. Or complaining that the bad guys are white in a series where the government is quite literally portrayed as space Nazis, and like, not in a subtle way.

Well said. To express that kind of outrage at going from 90% dominance for over a century to, let's say, I don't know, 70% over the past decade or so, is nothing more than pure, unhinged lunacy. What it's like to feel that outraged and that threatened over something so personally inconsequential, I hope I never know.
Wait until he finds out about the black hobbits.

Do you ever not have posts that aren't riddled with asterisks or that, you know, actually sound coherent? I'm not saying Disney isn't woke, but I would try maybe taking a step back from the keyboard more often than not and asking yourself "Does this sound deranged?" before hitting "Post."
the beauty of anonymous message boards is not caring how it sounds and not bothering to filter anything.

lol, are you talking about me? i can't really imagine that at all. because i wasn't complaining about anything remotely related.

making idiots out of existing heroes to meet some woke agenda would be something to complain about though, perhaps.

as far as black hobbits, that's an eye roller, but who cares.

You just gotta go away for a few weeks now, and then you can troll again successfully.
I look forward to your complaints about Avatar being too woke.

I'm just saying a lot of the Na'avi are a much darker shade of blue than I remember back in 2009.

Tell me i am wrong?

Anyway, if it was really good, all the bs politics dont bother me

If it just sucks, i dont bother commenting.

If it sucks largely because of intentionally ****ty woke bs, well, i think it deserves all the criticism it gets.

Had this incredible thought while taking a crap earlier this morning….

We are DEFINITELY going to see young Leia and Vader meet in this series. It makes sense. Recall their encounter in A New Hope….you could definitely make it canon that they've met before cause Leia's interaction is pretty much…."oh Vader. Course it's you only you would be this crazy" (yes I'm paraphrasing I know this isn't exactly what she said).

So we're gonna have Reva due to how episode 3 ended going, "hey Vader! Here's the bait! This little girl gonna bring the big guy here and you can torture him more or whatever."

And as far as sensing she's his daughter…..why would he? Never sensed it in a new hope so it's cool.

They gonna have some dialogue and boy I hope they don't screw it up. Honestly the way this is shaping I really think the next episode is going to be heavy on the dialogue and setting up the last 2 episodes which could be awesome

Are you referring to the speed of the potential chase scene, in mph?

This is about the point in Boba Fett where the show took a nice detour to set up a different show. Time for Obi-Wan to run into Ahsoka?

I mean, why not.

Sounds fun, but I don't think she knows that Anakin is Vader until Rebels. So, Kenobi would have to flat out lie to her. I guess that wouldn't be too surprising though given his history.

SIAP but I am assuming that Vader doesn't know that he has offspring because he thought Padme died prior to child birth. But when does Vader find out he has kids?

I haven't consulted Dr. Google yet... but this was something I just thought about.

Luke - original 1980 version.





Leia - as good as it gets.




The comics from a few years ago show Fett figuring out the name of the pilot who blew up DS I, so that could technically be Vader's first indication.

That's a cool/informative scene, but the fact that Owen & Beru KEPT the Skywalker name for Luke makes no damn sense.

OBI-WAN: Hides from Jedi hunters by… dressing like a Jedi.

LUKE: Is hidden from the Empire/Anakin Skywalker by… keeping the last name "Skywalker."

Especially in the wake of this series, with Obi-Wan now knowing Anakin is still alive, why the first thing he doesn't do when he gets back to Tatooine is tell Owen to change Luke's last name/quit calling him "Skywalker," is beyond me.

That has always been a problem.

Hiding his son on his home planet and keeping his last name.

At least Vader thinks he's dead, so he isn't actually searching for Luke.

Right, but Anakin no doubt went on to be a legend on Tatooine. Dude won a massive pod race as a child, and was then recruited by Jedi the very next day. There's no way that's not talked about everyday in certain Tatooine circles, for years, no different than people talking about former high school football legends in their hometowns. Not to mention, he THEN goes on to basically be the most famous fighter in the galaxy/Clone Wars. In other words, the name "Skywalker" HAD to have carried a ton of weight on Tatooine. Then all the sudden, a few years later, there's ANOTHER "Skywalker" in the same town, and part of the same family. That Owen & Beru, and Obi-Wan to an extent, risked using that name, given all it stood for, getting out and making its way to the Empire, is insane.

Then again, Obi-Wan didn't change his last name either. He was just like, "F/ck it, 'Ben Kenobi' is good enough."

But we have no idea how common a name Skywalker is - on Tatooine or anywhere in the galaxy.

If there's a great actor named Fred Smith in Hollywood and 10 years later another good actor named George Smith, our first thought isn't "they're related."

Maybe Ben Kenobi is like John Smith on Stewjon.

In the *same* household, though? I'm just saying, Shmi was probably relatively well known too, and to risk ANY talk at all of there suddenly being a new Skywalker on the farm is pretty reckless, after one was tragically murdered by Tusken raiders, and the other went on to be a famous Jedi war hero.
