The relationships aren't similar at all. There's a sibling rivalry aspect to Hux and Kylo that Vader and Tarkin didn't have
>>
>>64151378
Tarkin was a Moff and Vader was a Sith Lord. They couldn't rise any higher apart from overthrowing Sheev. They didn't have any interest in power plays and only concerned themselves with the good of the Empire.

Itd be cool of we had an old guy instead of young hux and we got some back story of him being a young officer in the empire.

He's not even hiding it :

>"What could be born of that? Could The First Order exist as a group that actually admired The Empire? Could the work of The Empire be seen as unfulfilled? And could Vader be a martyr? Could there be a need to see through what didn’t get done?"

But lets see the previous movies:
>"stormtrooper"

JJ got it totally wrong.

Nobody hated Tarkin. Tarkin wasn't designed as a character who's sterile, shitty, and unlikeable like "Hux" was.
Obviously Tarkin (and the Empire as a whole) had some Nazi imagery, but JJ, either because he's a Jew or because he doesn't understand subtlety, decided to hamfist the Nazi imagery to hell and back, making 'Hux' a ginger pumped-up Hitler. It was embarrassing. I'm surprised the next scene wasn't just text saying "WHITE PEOPLE ARE EVIL". That said, the only white male protagonist in the entire movie in a series originally geared exclusively to white males was murdered for dramatic effect, so it looks like they did the next best thing.
>>

The nazi look was already part of the series, JJ didn't change anything

It would have made for better chemistry if it was just Kylo Ren and Phasma.

>>64152056
In a series that exists entirely because of white male fans, it counts against the fact that the only white male protagonist was killed off, while a latino, a black guy, and a woman are given center stage, and the antagonists went from an authoritarian space Empire that borrowed imagery from Prussia, Nazi Germany, and the British Empire to flat-out fervent white male super-Nazis. You literally couldn't make them more Nazi-ish unless they started calling the "Resistance" Juden and the turbo-Nazi had a ginger toothbrush moustache.
The first time the series (a staple of the 'white male' stereotype or whatever you want to call it) gets handed to a quoted diversity-pushing Jewish man and this happens.
/pol/ couldn't make it up.

If the best counter to that is "but the woman is white" then it says a lot.

It says that you readily admit the presence of white male protagonists has been almost (if not entirely) removed, and I'll say it again, in a series notoriously built by and for white males.

Its like the hunger games series.
The good guys are always called the "resistance" just like all the fucking commie shit. Always use the "le revolution fist" in these movies.
Bad guys are wearing all white uniforms.
By the end the main bad guy even starts talking about how beautiful white is.

I'm not going to defend the diversity for diversity's sake meme that the left is enamored with because I don't agree with it. I disagree with them for the same reason I disagree with you. Race or gender does not define who you are. And I think the film did a good job of portraying that.

JJ made activist casting choices, but in the film the characters are much more than their race or gender. The only impact it had was on sexual dynamics.
>>
>>64152583
God no, I just think it's fucking cringe-worthy than an otherwise overwhelmingly-white male series had to be dramatically transformed to represent the perfect feminist multicultural mindset of a minority on the far-left of the political spectrum, when they didn't even have any stake or interest in the series in the first place.
I've watched and enjoyed loads of things that don't 'represent' me in the slightest, like American Horror Story Coven and the film The Craft and shit-tons of others like it. I never felt the urge to have the characters replaced with white men instead of the non-whites/women characters. because I liked it for what it was, so the reverse seems wrong and intrusive and politically subversive to me.

My position literally just boils down to "stop meddling with other people's things for the sake of your identity politics". Not very extreme, is it?

>>64152721
>Race or gender does not define who you are
Evidently, in this new trilogy, race and gender massively define who you are. Did you not watch the movie? Did you not see the correlation between race/gender and their roles in the movie? Did you not notice how the First Order was many magnitudes of order less 'diverse' than the protagonists?
>>
>>64152721
>Race or gender does not define who you are. And I think the film did a good job of portraying that.
But the movie does the opposite by consciously placing minorities and women in good guy roles while letting the villains be white supremacists.
>>
>>64152839

Finn was a stormtrooper, m8. They probably have more black stormtroopers.

>>64152825

Casting choices have nothing to do with characterization.
>>
>>64152821
>characters are much more than their race or gender
Are you trolling or do you genuinely not see the link between having the good guys be hugely disproportionately ethnic and female, while having the bad guys be extreme-nazi aesthetic and almost entirely white men, bearing in mind that this is fucking Star Wars of all things?
>>
>>64152839
-at least two female stormtroopers
-at least one woman of color in the operating room of the galaxy's most deadly fucking weapon
--at least one black dude stormtrooper
>>
>>64152825
>My position literally just boils down to "stop meddling with other people's things for the sake of your identity politics". Not very extreme, is it?
The casting was influenced by a desire to include other people than white males in the franchise, but that doesn't mean the series itself is leftist or anti-white suddenly. If Mel Gibson casts a 100% white movie that doesn't automatically makes it a white nationalist movie.
>>
>>64152307

Anon, I'm a SW fan for decades and I love the fact that we finally have a young girl MC.

I always wanted this in SW. And if you are not a faggot or some self inserting autist you should like it too.

And literally everybody loves Nazis as bad guys.
>>
>>64152883
But you agree that the imagery that the New Order radiates is one based on white supremacy and therefore the white race is more or less the villains of the movie. Finn is black but he also escapes and becomes the hero. Meanwhile the Resistance is a liberal's wet dream. There is an agenda. There is no point in denying that. Fucking JJ explicitly stated there is an agenda of him casting black guy as the hero. As there is an agenda of Rey being perfect at everything.

did you see any stormtroopers faces besides finn?

there were 2 white dudes who were with the first order, if you're going with actual screen appearance

why is injecting race into everything a meme. the races literally don't matter.
>>
>>64152939
Unless Mel Gibson was willingly choosing white people over black people, despite the latter being just as good or even better at the job, then it's not racism.

But that's not what has happened here. JJ admits he picked Boyega because of him being black. That's racism. I don't care what liberals say about only whites being able to be racists. But JJ favoring a black guy based on his skin color rather than acting is racism.
>>
>>64152943

It was the same in the originals.
>>
>>64152991

You already know why and you're wasting time debating about it
>>
>>64152943

The entire point of the old Empire was white supremacy in space.

All officers were white dudes. Empire was Nazis mixed with British imperialism.

While Rebels fought for the rights of aliens and minorities.

The difference is I didn't want to see Vader and Tarkin fuck after the movie
>>
>>64152988
Yep. You probably didn't notice it. But your brain did. At this point it's not even about Nazis anymore. It's about whites thinking they're hot shit because they're white and why that's bad.
>>
>>64153008

Boyega played the role tremendously well. I doubted casting choice myself because of your mentioned reason, but as soon as I saw him act I forgot about it.

The only white male protagonist belongs to the jewish caste. The son, the main antagonist, who will probably redeem himself is also from the jewish caste. So the only white male goyims of importance are this fascist Tarkin counterpart and Luke who will probably die and become a force ghost once Rey is ready to take up the mantle.

As Kylo is Rey's evil counterpart, Hux is Finn's. So general Hux final fight will be againt the bottom ranked black man, who will display his superiority toward his former boss.

Morale of the story ; white men should just die and let the diversity take their place, those trying to resist are downright evil.

FROM MY POINT OF VIEW WHITE PEOPLE ARE EVIL
>>
>>64152883
Different Anon, and I agree with you to some extent, but the entire industry is rotten to the core when it comes to portraying non-white male characters.

Take the reaction to Rey for example. Apparently movie goers couldn't tell the difference between a weak and strong female character, if one of them went off to Africa and personally helped establish sustainable agriculture, while the other opened a fourth tumblr blog.

The fact that Rey, who spends the movie running away from danger until she has no more options left is hailed as some sort of female hero, the likes of which Star Wars lacked is horrible if you consider that, Leia and the Rebel leader from Return of the Jedi were both women, who took charge, stood up against impossible odds and especially in Leia's case never gave up on what was right; these two are completely ignored, or worse, even accused of being anti-women, just because one wasn't a main character, and the other was treated as a sex object by a character who is literally a symbol of debauchery and sin.


The movie might technically not do anything wrong, but you can't excuse the marketing. The constant plugs that pretend like the franchise lacked diversity until THEY came along and fixed it. Engraving it in people's minds further that this wet sock of a jedi-wanna-be is the ideal of a strong female character, while Leia is some sort of failure.
It's disgusting how misleading everything about this movie is in the marketing. How they push this agenda, to make it look like they are the ones who finally got it right.

Did being black define Lando?
Did being a woman define Leia?
Hell, did being white define any of the main characters in Star Wars?
No?

Then explain why the hell people are convinced now that it was a racist and sexist movie series.

It's funny since Leia feels more of a feminist icon than Rey ever could simply because Leia is far more believable than a fucking superhero in space. And it's obvious Rey was intended as this godsend feminist character that Star Wars had neglected for long enough. It's backwards ass neo-liberal thinking. So I disagree with you. Rey is too good. Leia is flawed enough to be believable. Rey is a character that exists to be a feminist icon. Leia is a character that exists in the context of the story and not in the context of 2015 politics.

Rey feels fake with her powers, but if you remove them, she is really just a really weak and cowardly person who did nothing but run away from danger, something none of the characters in A New Hope did, except arguably Luke up until the moment he found his home burned down. The point being, that those characters were heroic, and she's just... Kind of there, because the action keeps finding her.

Seriously, switch Leia's gender, put some 1940s french clothing on her/him and you've got someone who's right at home as the inspiring leader about the French Resistance. Don't need to change a thing about her, and she's right up there with the big white male heroes.

Leia was more of a believable heroine than Rey can ever be. Rey, if not for her sudden ability to learn force powers in hours, has no remarkable discernible qualities.

This is why I generally tend to oppose this "THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE STRONG WOMEN IN MOVIES" crowd. It makes no sense. Ok, now you got your strong women characters. They are physically strong and can do things no woman in real life will actually be able to do. Is that a great feminist icon? It's just a man with tits. If anything, it does the opposite, by celebrating man traits by pushing them unto a woman and then celebrate her character.

People say "but Luke...". But Luke was shown as not really being competent with a saber until episode 3, was shown to be a skilled pilot even before the death star run (and had ghost jedi and Han help him out) and his force usage is minimal for the whole trilogy.

Then there's the fact we didn't really need another fucking planet destroying super weapons.

The film would have been better if it was just a fleet HQ for the first order.

Race isn't about skin. You'll find shades of every colour in virtually all races. I know Asians who are darker than my darkest nigger.

You don't understand pride, either. It's not about feeling superior, it's about knowing who your family is. I'm not proud of everyone in my family, but I'll stand by them. Having pride in your nation doesn't mean you agree with everything it did, but simply that you'll stand for it because it'll stand for you (in which your nation is the people).

Most people care for race, especially when it comes marriage and children, or even basic relationship. it's evolution: don't waste your genes.
