Is THE FORCE with this new ultra PC remake of Star Wars - Episode One?

Well, we seem to have a Lego Star Wars box sitting on our dinner table, so the visiting grandkids can play with it while nibbling.

So, this may be right.

Ain’t that the truth. I’m sick of seeing Star Wars everywhere I go.

“Merchandising, merchandising - that’s where the real money in the movie is made.”

I have never watched more than ten minutes of Star Trek but I got a big kick out “Galaxy Quest”.

There’s nothing PC about it. It’s a fine SW movie, yeah there’s a black character, there was a black character in the original trilogy too, you need to get over that.

I liked Lando Calrissian///Billy Dee Williams and I am not going to get over this PC bullcrap version. I am boycotting it along with Donald Trump and Huma Abedine. I am not going with the flow!

I heard a rumor that a sequel will be made after all these years.

There’s nothing PC about it. Only complete morons think there’s anything PC about the new movie. And I can tell they’re really hurting over you boycott.

Don’t care if you go with the flow. Just objecting to you saying painfully stupid things.

One of our favorites. It has been on TV lately and we watch it every time. “Never give up. Never surrender.”

He’s a Black Stormtrooper. Which can’t be. Because the Stormtroopers are the Clones of Jango Fett. Not the Clones of Dr. Funkenstein.

Yes it can be. Stormtroopers stopped being clones of Fett about 20 years before the first movie.

It is not a remake. It is another in the story line.

Nope, not anymore. This character even references that, mentions that he was basically taken from his family as a child and pressed into service.

Spaceballs is a fun antidote to SW overexposure.
