Quoting: Fret Wiz Clearly, he's not from the Empire, but disguised. I thought Old Republic stormtroopers were clones (Episodes 1, 2, and 3) But, by A New Hope, the stormtroopers were recruits. Certainly, by 7, 8, and 9 -- They are recruiting. The clones all died out in the Clone Wars pre Episode IV, right? |

I've never seen a trooper recruit, but you may be right. I watched a few Clone Wars episodes, but aside from the movies, I'm not well-versed on the SW universe. In the end, I think the black guy is just pulling a New Hope move, kill a trooper and infiltrate. It'll be interesting to see how PC they go with this one. |

Master X User ID: 68957234 United Kingdom 04/17/2015 03:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There is no racism in the Star Wars universe. I know it's a shock. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 68116457 Well, there's speciesism... But on the race issue; no there's no racism, but we live in a world where certain people see racism, homophobia and sexism everywhere it's not. And putting up with these people is seriously energy draining, and distracts from actual GENUINE cases of racism, homophobia and sexism. |

As for that "black guy" in Storm Trooper gear, its clearly a member of the new Republic in disguise, as it looks to me like Jaina is helping him, not the other way around, and I saw several scenes in the trailers that show him NOT wearing any storm trooper gear. |

The ONLY confirmed exception to this being Grand Admiral Thrawn who was a Chiss; a blue skinned human-like alien; who was recruited into the Imperial Navy and rose through its ranks due to being a tactical genius. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 68881811 United Kingdom 04/17/2015 03:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm sure it's just me, but I can't help but think some thoughts about this new Star Wars VII trailer: Quoting: Anonymous Coward 55431899 Blacks inside disposable white storm troopers, serving white overlords. (and/or alien creators?) It's just more agenda... Black guy with...... you guessed it, a white girl..! Now where have I seen this situation before...? That's right, Everywhere. (MSN) |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 55431899 United States 04/17/2015 03:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Darth Vader was played by David Prowse (white guy) but was voiced by James Earl Jones (black guy)... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 68881811 Not sure if this fact is relevant. ..? A black man, playing the voice of a white body, in a black suit. HMMM. Even if this guy is Republic and in a Stormy outfit... It's still pushing an Interracial Mixing Agenda when you have him and Jaina Solo as love interests. No reason for that at all except to push multiculturalism. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 2140455 United States 04/17/2015 07:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Guess they think having a black main character is going to get more blacks into the theaters to see a movie 90% have never seen because THEY'RE racist and refuse to watch white people in movies. Classic cultural communism at the hands of Hollywood liberals who would love nothing more than 15 hooker gang bangs with all the prisoners from San Quentin, and then chain up every white guy and make them watch. It's getting hilarious at this point how hard they're pushing this crap on all of "us." The truth is the majority of this country is still predominately white, blacks and mexicans hate each other, asians hate everyone and nothing is going to rapidly change unless it is forced on us by the government, at which point the South will rise again and it'll be 1861 all over again. Blah blah blah. It's just a fuckin movie. |
