Forums - Movies & TV - How do you feel about John Boyega being the lead character in Star Wars?

I am pretty sure Daisy Ridley's character is the main protagonist.
And no, no issue with his char.

You kidding right? Best decision he ever made. All 4 billion of it.


Not if disney runs the "star wars" brand through the mud with it's fans. Disney has already ruined the storyline/timeline of star wars.  

For 4 billion, Lucas doesn't care. He has other more important things to concern himself, like his family.... seriously $4 billion.

And Disney will ruin the Star Wars brand through the mud as long as they make a profit and get that 4 billion back. I'm currently in the process of watching them ruin the X-men.



Hmm, pie.

It's usually the fans that get the crap end of some deal when their series or favorite brand is sold. Marvel is ruining their own IPs to get the rights to the films back. 



They're not being racist just questioning how there can be a black stormtrooper when they were supposed to be clones of Bobba Fett.Stormtrooper in a teacup this one.

That was more than 20 years ago from when A New Hope happened, clones age faster (2 to 3 times that of normal person), plus production was stopped. There'd be no clones left, a Storm Trooper is a job, like any other military position. People with basic knowledge of the Star Wars world knows this.

Oh also, Jango Fett, not Bobba, according to things, he is a clone of Jango but ages correctly.

Just like The Fury told you, the Empire disregard the clone production and just hired people, as in the military, for the position of stormtroopers. Why do you think Leia tells Luke that he doesn't properly fit into the soldier attire when they met in Episode IV?

I'm no star wars buff, this is just what i have heard as the reasoning on internet articles and the imdb forums about it.

I heard from somewhere that stormtroopers were still clones after a new hope but they were being created/cloned from multiple DNA sources and not just from Bobba. I have a friend that read all of those books that were part of the star wars universe but disney is disregarding them.

Extended Universe was thrown out, which includes everything involving the kids and characters like Mara-Jade.

Even then, if the Stormtroops are clones from someone else's DNA, no reason why that person couldn't be black. Eitherway it's not the case and people that have an issue with a brand new character being of a certain ethnicity need to think about why they really have an issue with this.



Hmm, pie.

Fuck that! Stormtroopers are supposed to be Maori bitches!!
