Yup, i knew this was going to happen. You can't disrespect a legacy like this.
Its got nothing to do with racism, and that is a reductive way to look at it.
People expect something from Star wars. Something they review themselves in and find confort. By changing what was established for decades, its asking for trouble. Its only natural people wont feel confortable with it.
Think about it, how would you feel if Uncharted had a black woman protagonist all of a sudden? Logical? Would you feel the same attachment to the series? If Tomb raider now had a white male protagonist as another example. Would you be ok without Lara? Would you feel the same confort and attachment to the series?
No, you wouldnt. Its not a matter of racism, its a matter of confort and attachment. You change a series to something people aren't familiar with, you are inviting anger.
Another example, Raiden on MGS2. How did you enjoy that?
Thats just how it is. It doesnt depend on sex and race, it depends on confort of what is familiar. You can't change that after its been established without inviting anger from those that will feel they had their fandom betrayed.
The Trump connection is deplorable and most probably made up for bigger headlines. Very sad.

This is utterly ridiculous. They are new characters In a new original story moving things forward. They did not suddenly make Luke Black. By all accounts Daisy looks like the main character. A female lead is a huge departure for the series as well. So why is it important that Star Wars has a predominantly white male cast?

There is nothing ridiculous and you are failing to see the point. Its not about wich color or sex people are, its about attachment to something that is familiar. Star wars is an old movie so its only natural that its rooted in old stereotypes. You can't give them a new "black Luke" as you put it and not expect people to feel their expectations have been betrayed. As for beeing a new story... that is where another problem lies. It isnt a new story, its episode 7 the continuation of the original trilogy with the return of the original cast. There is a huge ammount of attachment because of that.
Besides, i do agree. It seems the woman is the main character and the guy is likely to die if he is going against the villain. Doesnt make my point any less true though. This was totally predictable and i'm surprised they went ahead with it.
