They are suddenly complaining about Star Wars now? After 40 years?
(((Star Wars))) Is Anti-White Social Engineering, reads a Reddit post by GenFrancoPepe on the subreddit r/altright, including a gif showing the cast from the movie; according to the image, predominantly white characters fight with the oppressive Empire while an array of multicultural characters support the rebel fighters.
So basically star wars was SJW propaganda from the beginning? Another user, stanicpriest13 asked the forum. Good now I dont feel as bad about not watching the new films. The new films are going to flop big league anyway. You can push the female heroes as much as you like, but even most women dont find it interesting.
Calls for a boycott have been mounting since August, when a white supremacist site called InfoStormer complained that the trailer for Rogue One, is another Jew masturbation fantasy of anti-white hatred.
This film should be boycotted. Episode 7 was bad enough featuring that retarded storm trooper Negro and another empowered White female in the lead roles, InfoStormer wrote, later adding It looks as if the Jew run company of Disney is going to pump out as many of these awful multicultural Star Wars films as possible.

(6,342 posts)In Episode 7, it shows stormtroopers arent just all white, and they're leader is female also.
Out of the 7 movies, a white male is the main protagonist in 6 of them. Even the 7th movie you could say still revolves around Luke even with only 15 seconds of screen time.
So Im not sure what the big issue is....

George Lucas' final installment of the sci-fi epic, which opens nationwide Thursday, may be about more than light sabers, robots and opposing sides of the Force. It may actually be about
President Bush.
"It is clear that there's a parallel between the Bush administration and the rise to power of the Empire, the Evil Empire," said Newsweek movie critic David Ansen in a "Today" show segment Monday morning.
Ansen is just one of several voices asserting similarities between the politics of "Star Wars" and those of the current White House.
"Lucas dares, for the first time, to address how the hollow political conflict in his franchise correlates with the reality outside its panels," wrote Ed Gonzales, movie critic for Slant magazine, in his recent review.
The "Today" show's Michael Okwu summarized one of the new movie's storylines as: "a warmongering chancellor of an intergalactic republic asks the senate to give up their liberties and to give him more powerunder the guise of being under attack."
Ansen said, "It appeared to be a reference to the Patriot Act and to our sort of giving up our civil liberties in the name of national security."

It could explain why they have been boycotting for awhile.

(18,305 posts)Species from other planets are as smart as, or smarter than humans. They are co-equals with our species in intergalactic government.
They also have problems with people of color and women being role models and heroes. They were enraged years ago with Samuel Jackson being a Jedi master on the Jedi council. POC and women are afforded too much respect and deference in the series. That's not the white supremacists world view (or apparently intergalactic view either) of the actual order of things.
I think they were able to accept Billy Dee Williams in the the original series because he was essentially a successful grifter who did the right thing in the end under the influence of (mostly) white people.
In the Star Wars series there is an underlying theme of diverse good people (or beings) working together to defeat evil. White supremacists want to impose their version of order on others. In their world (and galaxies, I guess) all should not have an equal voice.

(35,084 posts)A dedication to discipline without justice or accountability, the pursuit of ultimate power (Fictionally: Having a weapon that can blow up an entire planet/exclusive access to the Force. Reality: Having a friendly President, access to nukes, etc.), homogeneous, framing the opposition (Fictionally: Calling the others "rebels", enough dehumanizing to use Starkiller on a group of planets. Reality: Calling the other side "SJWs", a term only they really use).

(86 posts)They WANT to be faceless, voiceless Stormtroopers, existing for no reason other than to follow the "leader," or as they'd probably say, the "alpha male of the group." Strange, since they go on and on and on about "individualism" how "alpha" they are, yet no group on the planet is, in reality, more submissive and docile than they are.

(1,214 posts)I saw the original Star Wars film when I was 6. I was not thrilled with Episode VII... or I, II, and III...
Episode VII was okay, and worth seeing on the big screen, once. I had decided not to bother with more Star Wars movies, and just cherish my memories of seeing it in its original form, as a kid in the late 70s and early 80s...
But if these racist bozos are against it, then I'm going to see it!

They've boycotted Hamilton but it's sold out for two years.
They've boycotted Star Wars, but it's going to make at least $100,000,000 opening weekend.
Is there anything they don't suck at?

God these people are dumb. Remember when Disney made Heimdall black (in the Thor movies)? I had a guy kvetching at me about how reverse racist it was, and disrespectful to other people's heritage, and finally I said, "You do know that it's all make believe, right? It's also got a guy who rides a flying eight legged horse who can see the future, and Heindall's rainbow bridge isn't part of Hollywood's gay agenda."

(100,099 posts)Sure needs a lot of safe spaces don't they? They complain when Alec Baldwin makes fun of the almighty Trumpenfuror. They complain about a musical that makes fun of Pence. They are not allowing women to protest Trump during the inauguration. They won't go see Star Wars because the writers are big meanie heads. Trump's supporters are as thin skinned as he is. Don't dish it out if you can't take it, guys.
