Bigots always view life with a race filter.

Star Wars could have been made with an all Indian cast (Sitar Wars?) andit would have broken records.

Can’t a movie be good without someone injecting race or liberal interpretations into it?

Wrong again Jesse. I credit the success to a number of things:
- The huge Star Wars franchise behind it
- Good selection of producer
- Good selection of director
- Modest, restrained even use of special effects (especially for a modern sci-fi flick)
- Good casting
- Decent writing
- A good ad campaign leading up to the release
- etc. etc.
You'll note Jesse that race never enters into that list, anywhere. I didn't go see it because of who was or wasn't cast in it. (ok, maybe a chance to see Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher had a little something to do with it) I really did not and do not care what the race of the various actors and actresses is. The moment you start caring (for better or worse), that starts becoming racist. Well Jesse, since you seem to love bringing race into literally everything - I mean could you even order a hamburger without some racial commentary? In my book that makes you one of the biggest, most egregious racists on the planet. Oh, and my opinion of you Jesse? Has nothing to do with your race, only your words and deeds. By them you shall be known, and you are known.

The black character added absolutely nothing to the actual plot. The role was invented and awkwardly inserted into the script, and it shows.
