Today in Stuff That Will Make You Hang Your Head In Despair, a bunch of white supremacists are tweeting under the hashtag #BoycottStarWarsVII. Why? Apparently J.J. Abrams’ new “Star Wars” installment is a little too multicultural for their liking (black actor John Boyega plays Finn, a stormtrooper, one of the presumed leads). Enjoy your daily dose of hate speech below:
SJWs complain about White artists "misappropriating" culture created by blacks but then celebrate a non-White Star Wars. #BoycottStarWarsVII

If stormtroopers are clones and we already know what the clones look like then how is the new stormtrooper black when the original was not?
Is that not cloning 101?
It is sort of Disney doing their PC rub on all of this.
Salon fit fail, do you have a mother jones or thinkprogress article ready to post?

Could be a different 'run' of clones. I don't remember much from those last 3 horrid movies but it did seem that a different Prime could be used to produce different Clones. I mean it was a big facility!
I think these will be huge. Primarily because the stories look like they are going to be focused on 'humans' as opposed to relying on CGI like the last 3. Plus the original actors are light years (see what I did there) better than the others. Except Natalie Portman. She's on my Hall Pass list
Also, it seems like they are returning to a John Williams type soundtrack score

Other than Liam Neeson the first 3 in the series were awful.
As for the new run of clones, I guess anything is possible in the Star Wars universe. It seems like they just really wanted a black guy so they changed the story. Which, is sort of ridiculous. But, that is how Disney operates.
And, I'll be honest, changing the race of characters to fit a PC move in one of the most loved series in cinematic history doesn't bode well for the movies.
Just look at what J.J. Abrams did to Khan...

SJW and racist... They are two sides of the same coin so it makes sense that they would adopt the same insipid rhetoric.

Virtually all of these Star Wars films made since 'Return of the Jedi' have been trash. 'Phantom Menace' in particular was the worst since it was a repackage of the original. Lucas is doing everything he can to cash in before it's all over. The whole Star Wars universe would be much better in book form than as movies if you truly enjoy getting into these types of stories.
I'm not a Star Wars FAN, but I do like the idea of Star Wars. I enjoy Star Trek much more because I think that 'universe' is much more believable and IMHO it always focused more on plot lines and characters. Star Wars technology seems so much more clunky and lacked forward thinking - to think after all of those years that armaments would look very similar to weaponry seen in the 70's and 80's except replacing projectiles with lasers. Contrast that to Star Trek technology that was truly forward thinking with a tiny hand held 'gun' that could wreak havoc, and they 'predicted' the cell phone!

Yeah. His choice for Khan was horrible. Sooo many better options IMO.
I'm fired up for the movie but it will be a week or two until I see it. I hate crowded theaters

You're right we should just go back to Al Jolson in black face.
There are dumb-ass people on each side of every issue.

Just saying there are stupid people everywhere. Unfortunately, thanks to the internet, the extreme views are often put out as examples of a certain position when they are really just dumb ass opinions from illogical people. Those positions get the most play so I guess that's why people flock to them.

Exactly. And the more people that flock to them , the more people believe that their ideas are mainstream.
It isn't by accident that someone like Donald Trump can say that Bush knew about 911 and be a leading candidate for President.

Wasn't the guy who played Jango Fett (who provided the DNA for all the clones) Polynesian?

I think so.
He was not black; that's for sure.

Maybe only the originals were clones. This is almost 20 years later

Fair enough...
But still, it brings up the not-so-great fact that we seem to be changing stuff up because we wanted a black main character.
That doesn't bode well for how true to the source material Disney has been with these movies.

He looked similar to that. BTW I bet this twitter thing is a false flag. Just some lib stirring up the pot by posting silly stuff.
