I'm sorry but this is hideously stupid. Jango does NOT look at all Latino, and did not speak Spanish, or anything that sounds remotely Spanish to his son Boba. Secondly, trying to transfer racial stereotypes to a movie about a galaxy that is "far, far away" is even more dumb.

You know, what the bloody hell...some people just want an excuse to complain.

Regards, Ivan

The Detroit News is the less leftist of the two local newspapers. They always have articles about some minority or other being offended at the latest Lucas or Spielberg movie. I think they have a list of "offendees" for every occasion, and pay them to see the film and get pissed off.

But aside from the local cranks, I'm sure we'll see other crackpots trying to piggieback on the movie's publicity by spewing their nonsense when there's a worldwide audience for anything related to the film.

By the way, did you ever notice that only offended leftists get publicity? Any conservative offended by what Hollywood puts out has to suffer in silence. Unless the news media wants to ridicule him for being offended.

Jango looks exactly like an Egyptian friend of mine - maybe they should complain!

Yes but if Lucas had no "EHTNIC" looking actors in his movies then the Hue and Cry would be Lucas is Racist and refuses to Hire Minorities...

See the Race-baiters can always win on this particular issue!

I do believe you've got it. Just like some people try to make everything a religious argument, there are others who try to politicize everything and it is just assanine. These people should be treated with all the seriousness they deserve.
