Where do the Hispanics of Star Wars come from?

British voices have always been the sound of “nobility” or “serious” actors but any other accent is out of place in the story that takes place in a galaxy FAR FAR AWAY.

Why not have amphibian or avian people who people in altered accents? They’d still be non-white/non-European/non-human.

In Star Wars (at least the first one) humans weren’t even the majority.

Billy Dee Williams was asked what about his experiences growing up prepared him for his role in Empire Strikes Back, he said “nothing did”, that this story take place far from earth. He did say that be brought a bit of Errol Flynn suave pirate to the character.

This is the tip of the iceberg. China is buying all the movie studios so they can make us all learn how they are our betters. Just wait.

The Empire is (now) a “white supremacist (human) organization,” Rogue One co-writer Chris Weitz Tweeted the Friday after Clinton was defeated in the election.

Then why did the Empire clone millions of Jango Fetts?

The open racism against white males is alarming.

‘Rogue One’ Makes White Guys the Enemy of the Future>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Why wait for the future? I want to become a White Guy enemy right now! And I do not need a movie to do it, LOL.

Alahwahoo Whackbar!

This will be the end of the Star War series....should NOT have been politicized.No more movies will be made.

I will not attend Rogue.Nor will millons of others.

Little kids presumably like to buy action figures they can identify with, and though I don’t have any marketing data to back it up, it seems likely that white males are the single biggest market for Star Wars swag. Why would you turn your back on your best customers? It’s yet another example of how Hollywood’s incessant need to prove it is on the progressive side of the political Force sabotages Hollywood’s own best interests

Heard Stan Lee (90+ year old figure associated with Marvel Comics and the Clintons) boast that they had new superheroes that were "Indian"(Hindi), Hispanic (from various regions), etc. etc. No details on plot twists, no "big picture" discussion of why super hero movies may now be the biggest box office, no discussion of his early days (40s) in comics or his heyday (60s and 70s). Just SJW identity politics. Blah blah blah.

And at conventions like the 75 year old Worldcon, the SJWs are ageists who hope for the day that the old writers at such events will just die soon. All animals are equal on the animal farm, some are more equal than others.

I miss the good old days when movie producers, directors and actors were more concerned with making entertainment than political statements in movies.

In order to allow an American, or any foreign movie into China, the movie has to have Chinese actors, and portray China “in a positive light.” That’s why we are seeing so many Chinese characters, and of course, they are always self-sacrificing and noble. As far as the movie goes, I had trouble understanding the Spanish character, the rebel leader, as his accent was very thick. They also have the self-sacrificing noble and wise black character which i thought was the worst character in the movie. The movie makes up for all of this in the last 5 minutes of the film. People were jumping out of their seats clapping and yelling for joy, but not for reasons you would think. I don’t want to spoil it. My favorite character is the robot K2so

Do not agree.

If white supremacists were what the Empire was using, they would not be missing.

I went to this movie.

Didn’t myself see racism in the movie, and it was pretty good. Wasn’t paying particular attention, however.

Not a real standout from my perspective, but entertaining.

Oddly the movie I really liked recently was a simple Vietnamese movie I watched last month. Pretty simple, but I really liked that one.

The movie this article was about was solid, if undistinguished, in my view.

I guess Lucas and Co. think that La Raza supporters will fund all of their future movie making.

I will boycott Rogue.

Eff Lucas. He has made so much money off America , that he might consider being a patriot.But no, instead we have more lefty biting the hand that feeds them.

Instead Lucas is just another lefty utopian fascist propagandist. Amazing how the rich and famous of Hollywood keep declining their own road to actually being Great Americans after what the country has given them.

But what America giveth, it can take away ! GRIN !

La Razza will never be mainstream in America.

Tragic how all the old vices come back rehabilitated at some point. For a while, racism was the ultimate evil, now it is accepted and celebrated again, only the victims have changed.

The same old idiots are doing the same old thing with the same old self-righteousness. Their great grandparents hated black people because it was popular, and now they hate white people because it is popular. Their great grandparents were sexist against women when it was popular, now they are sexist against men now that it is fashionable.

Even antisemitism is making a comeback. Richard Feynman couldn’t get into Columbia University because their quota of Jews had been filled. These morons are working to bring that all back.

This isn’t a new meme, by any stretch of the imagination.

On that old anti-terrorist show about which everyone raved so loudly - 24 - which starred Keifer Sutherland, he’d spend the first half of the season tracking down terrorists, then the second half finding out that, after all, it was those nasty White guys who’d created all the real evils in the world.

I’m still waiting for a realistic TV show that depicts moslems as the source of all the world’s terrorism.

Even in the movie “The Sum of alll Fears” the bad guys were changed from moslem terrorists into some sort of unlikely neo-Nazis.

White guys are definitely the new n*ggers.

ARticle silly. I had no problem watching it.

The problem with Rogue One is they’re more interested in introducing new characters throughout and you truly never vest interest for any of them. That and everybody dies in the end.

Seriously though, I thought it was one of the better shows of the franchise, if not the best.

And Star wars is a space opera, not dystopian.

The producers will make up for this racial disparity in the next movie... I hear Luke and Han Solo will be played by white guys.

But with all the minorities dying in rogue one, it explains why the empire clones bobo fett

Um, not buying it. Don’t forget, the one Stormtrooper in Episode 7 was a black guy. You don’t know what the other Stormtroopers are.

Let’s not give the left any ammo on being the “Angry White Man”. There are plenty of loony lefty things to fight against, but Star Wars is not one of them. LOL

I never cared for Star Wars. Never could figure out why so many people went stupid for it. It was juvenile to say the least to me, at age 25.
