Exactly. That and women. It's pretty common knowledge that Star Wars suffers in the african-american and female demographics. The fact that Disney actually went so far as to influence/alter the movie in order to expand it's reach financially sickens me.

When you buy something, its yours to do what you want with. In this case Disney owns the rights to Star Wars so whatever they think will increase the popularity of the franchise they have a right to do it so long as its legal. Its entirely possible Disney chose him because he was a good choice for the role but hey, why consider that as an option when its not dramatic enough?

@bold - ...don't read the news...ever...trust me, if this tiny little news about some black dude playing the major role in a SW film (for demographic purposes) makes you sick then the REAL problems in this world will have you hospitalized. Don't do it.

I don't think he's being radical tho. He's probably just saying that he believes Disney chose a black actor to appeal to wider audiences.

Yeah, it's a bit sad. Unfortunately stuff like this happen all the time.

Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

You have some issues dude. Star Wars has always had a female as one of the main characters, this time the story revolves around a girl instead of a boy. You must have really hated Lando back in the OT seeing he is black and in a star wars movie.

psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.

He wouldn't badmouth disney because it would call into question his decision to sell the IP to 'em in the first place.'Everything disney does with star wars is gold to him. Anyway, disney ditched the entire expand star wars universe so I'm not gonna watch it.

You will have to expalin your purely artistic beef with these castings in order for you to not simply appear to be both racist and misogynist.

At the end of the day, I know who I am. I don't care what someone I don't know labels me as. I know what my issues are with this script and those who are intelligent enough will "get it". Those who aren't can say, think and do what they want until they turn blue in the face. I'll survive lol

Whoa. Seriously?

Everyone is white in galaxies far far away, so black jedi knights can't be possible. Disney is going off-canon here

Mace Windu would have wise words to say to you. You better smarten up or he'll slice yo ass.

Lando is pretty bad ass. Even if he isn't a Jedi. But his son might be. So you better watch yo ass

Ah yes....I'm intelligent so I don't have to explain myself to a bunch of idiots

Could you be more cliché?
