it’s not PC — the big movies sell globally. They need to have faces that will sell the movies in different parts of the world.
That’s okay. I am a 56 year old white male who can trace his ancestry in this country before it was a nation. I can take it and not whine about it. It is an entertaining movie and in the end you just laugh at the silliness. Are there Japanese and Latino planets and galaxies or did those accents just spring up from those planets colonized from earth? In either case the Democrats are still the evil empire trying to keep all those minority planets on the plantation. The rebel alliance is still a Republican form of association of liberty seeking beings telling the socialist empire to suck lead.
Yeah, I’m not sure I would list the Rebels as Republicans after what George Lucas said (I’ll give you a hint: The Rebels had ties to the Vietcong if Lucas is to be believed, and he wrote the franchise).
The Empire has ALWAYS been a collection of white men, mostly with British accents. The Emperor’s distrust of non-humans was even discussed in the extended universe. It’s nice this guy finally noticed but there’s actually nothing new about that.
But of course in the end all things are what you decide they are. If you’re into the whole multicultural thing then yes those Rebels sure are your kind of people. On the other hand they’re also a well armed militia working to overthrow a tyrannical government. Something for everybody.
The political commentary crap about this movie is just that - crap. This is not a political film, but a brilliant prequel to the very first Star Wars of 1977.
In fact, I’ll go as far as to call it perhaps the best Star Wars film after the original.
Excellent acting, plot, humor, heroism, etc, etc. The CGI re-animation of Peter Cushing was particularly eerie. It had EVERYTHING that the last Star Wars film did not. That one was the biggest disappointment of the franchise - this one is the most pleasant surprise.
isn’t ms Marvel also now a muslim?
And, Thor is female :p
lol.
I believe you are right in both cases.
