what I need to know is does he speak Amos N’ Andy-Bonix in the movie?
There's a third option, we can ignore it and you.
“”I’m in the movie; what are you going to do about it? You either enjoy it or you don’t,” Boyega said.”
Or,you cannot go see it.
Seems simple to me.
.
I don’t get it, Lando Calrissan was black.
BUT, Lando served an important role in the story, they needed a balck guy but got him into more than a token role. The screenwriters did a great job with that.
It remaims to be seen what this role is, he may end up being the Jar Jar of the sequel trilogy.
Oh..... that an unfortunate realization.
Someone is angry that a black man is playing a villain in a movie? And a black man is angry because someone is angry that a black man is playing a villain in a movie?
Apparently life is much more of a challenge to some than the rest of us...
So this guy is BLACK. So what?? He is merely another human being among many others. As far as so-called “diversity” is concerned, try to remember back to the Cantina scenes in Mos Eisley. There was true diversity for you. more varying life forms than you could count.
All through the Star Wars films, NON-human were very often the heroes, heroines, stars and central characters as well as villans, and we rooted for them or sneered at them.
Goodness me, a person with a BLACK skin. We’ve had white, blue, green, multi-hued, fish scales, and fur, so all of a sudden this must be a big deal.
I thought the stormtroopers were clones. Does this mean they’re all black?
How would one know a Star Trooper is black? They all have that head-to-toe, white, body armor and helmets.
Is hating on black actors still a thing?
I will tell you what: If the movie sucks, they will hate you. If the movie doesn’t suck, no one has a problem.
How did talk about a trooper that wasn’t a clone get interpreted into something racist?
Dang, way to miss the point, John!
Well...I haven’t read your mail. Maybe there are people who have a problem with black characters in Star Wars.
Not me. Mace Windu and Lando Calrissian added wonderfully inimitable parts to the whole.
My problem (such a “first world problem”!) is that as far as I know, all stormtroopers are clones of Jango Fett (played by a Maori).
Perhaps the story will explain that other warriors were cloned in later generations of stormtroopers. Or that they dropped the clone idea and started open enlistments.
Anyway, that’s the point. Not that you’re black, but that you are a stormtrooper. It doesn’t fit the known narrative.
Oh well....you can’t be all as awesome as Sam or Billy Dee :)
he is working overtime to kill off interest in the movie.
Is this movie PC or something? PC is the dark side...
“I’m in the movie; what are you going to do about it?”
Not go to a gun free zone to patronize it?
Maybe he’ll play the role of R2DTooLegit2Quit
A black stormtrooper does not make sense in this context anymore then a red head or a Japanese one would.
This has nothing to do with race but with continuity of the story line.
It would be like having Gandolph be played by a Orc, Rudolph be played by a giraffe or Frosty by a tree. The break jars you and ruins suspension of disbelief that is necessary to enjoy the story.

Seriously, there are racist Star Wars fans? Really? Maybe in a galaxy far far away.
I really doubt that there are a significant number of star wars fans that are so racist they would complain about seeing a black actor when there have already been a fair number of black actors featured prominently in the franchise. the only thing that makes sense to me would be if somebody complained that storm troopers are supposed to be clones and therefore all of them need to always be played by Temuera Morrison. Seems like a hard goal to hit but hey, they are supposed to be clones.
I think this is some sort of ginned up outrage. I can't conceive of very many people giving two sh*ts about whether a black guy is a storm trooper or not.
I've seen the teaser. I always assumed the guy was one of the heroes of the story that ended up putting on some Storm Trooper armor for reasons of disguise or something.
Are there really people out there that want to make this into a racial thing? Do they not have better things to worry about in their lives?
“”I’m in the movie; what are you going to do about it? You either enjoy it or you don’t,” Boyega said.”
Black racists are the worst kind. They think all whites are racist because they are white.
This is one white boy that won’t be seeing the racist Star Wars movie.
