    Fucking losers.

    Hmmm, where have we seen attempts to shut down artistic expression before?

    Um, no. You tried to paint those of us who had objections to the project that didn't include a Femmebsuters complaint as being in with the Milo brigade, and that was out of order.

    If you want a film to fail the worse thing to do is start a boycott. See the Da Vinci Code.

    Um, the Empire has always been filled with white humans. Now, in the early films, most of the rebels were white humans as well, but there were some people of color and aliens (how many in Star Wars or Empire though?).

    In the Extended Universe this was played up more.

    It's kind of funny how NAZIs are only just now figuring out that the Empire is an allegory for the Reich.

    Latest reshoot:

    Location: Death Star hanger bay.

    The Emperor, sporting a new haircut, tan and some podge walks. Stormtroopers, stomp foot in praise. The Emperor turns.

    "This... This station is YUGE and.. and.. and it will solve the illegal Aldebaran problem as PROMISED, and the biased, left-wing agenda'd Jedi will see that I keep my promises. They will say, yes, yes they will, they will say, they will say but Donald you promised a star-sized station, and that is a falsehood, and this great station is yuge, yuger than anything the Jedi managed. YUGE! Let's make the galaxy great again!"

    The same crowd went nuts over the supposed interracial coupling in TFA. There's an infographic floating around that purports to show how since 1984 when "the Jews" took over Disney, all their movies promote diversity and race-mixing. Pretty standard fare with Trump's hardcore alt-right fanbase.

    The right is becoming more and more like the left in wanting to pretend to be a victim. This whole Oppression Olympics thing is very tiresome.

    Don't worry. If you have any principles you'll be boycotting this for other reasons. After all, main cast member Riz Ahmed is a Muslim "animal". You don't want to pay to support the proliferation of "animals" in cinema do you?

    Boycott Star Wars Dinner - take a stand!! ;)

    I notice that @Dinner rated my post above "dumb". Can he say why it's dumb? Or is he not willing to admit why posts like that expose the absurdity of his prejudice?

    Well, hang on a minute. If Muslims are "animals", how could possibly want to financially support seeing them becoming rich celebrities here in the West?

    Can you explain that?

    :rofl:

    Yeah, I remember this kind of shit being claimed for TFA and Mad Max and a few other movies, and in those cases it was a small group of idiots that were essentially turned into the boogeyman and used in an attempt to beat people about the shoulders with. Or then there's the Ghostbusters shit which was nothing more than an attempt to market the movie on controversy in a way that only third-wave feminists can - by claiming any criticism of the movie is sexist.

    Interesting that your response to idiocy is to criticize people for noticing it.

    Cultural conservatives, and particularly the religious right, have been the single whiniest group in American public life for years now.

    Man, that phrase just throws me.
    I just can't fathom it.
    I can see being someone who hates Democrats, or just Hillary, so damned much, they held their nose for Trump.
    But the amount of brain damage it must take to look at a Trump and go"ohhhh heeee's woooonderfuuul! :wub:", is just staggering.
    How could someone like that construct English sentences, or get their own clothing on in the morning?
