Will we ever get alien main characters in the next 2 Star Wars films?
>>64332299
Probably not, since most scifi these days is veering hard away from extraterrestrial characters to, ironically, have more "diversity" by showing just how many brown people and women they can shoehorn into the main cast.
>>64332299
Pretty much only the comics and the Clone Wars show do anything with aliens.
>games
Most of the games deal with movie-related stuff, which is all humans.
Force Unleashed's only non-human cast member that wasn't in a movie was a droid, the rest were one-offs.
Battlefront 1 and 2 is all humans, even among rebels. Haven't played the new one.
>novels
List of protags: Luke, Leia, Han, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Mace Windu, Darth Bane, Jacen/Jaina/Anakin Solo, Ben Skywalker. All humans.
The only novel I can think of with a non-human protag is Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter, and even that is like 75% OC human Jedi viewpoint.
>>64332739
Addendum: comics and Clone Wars basically treat aliens as weird-looking humans with funny voices, so fuck
At least the novels tried to be interesting about it, the Kilik Hive was fucking nuts

>>64329833
Do or do not, there is no try
It's so dense
>>64329833
Why is spinning such a recurring action in Star Wars' universe?
god what a bitter fucking asshole
he wasn't saying this on the night of the premier when he was all buddy-buddy with JJ.

stay rekt shill
BASED George BTFO Disney
what does he mean by white slavers?
I don't want to listen/watch his interview, but can someone give me some context for the "white slavers" comment?
>Ep. I - Duel of the Fates
>Ep. II - Across the Stars
>Ep. III - Battle of the Heroes
>Ep. IV - Binary Sunset
>Ep. V - Imperial March
>Ep. VI - The Battle of Endor II
>Ep. VII - Literally nothing.
Even John fucking Williams phoned it in. I had no expectations. I was expecting the mediocre garbage we got, but at least a good light saber fight and one memorable song, but we didn't even that. What a fucking disappointment.
>>64320558
Rey's theme you dumb fuck
Rey's theme is ok, but yeah John is going senile. I wonder if they'll go through the entire trilogy with him.
Nothing will ever beat Duel of the Fates

is there any average+ movies about gambling?
I've heard 21 one is a bad movie but the documentaries about the MIT blackjack team are pretty entertaining.
>>64335989
isn't The Cooler about gambling?
California Spit is a classic and directed by Robert Altman.
Of course Rounders
Racist, frankly

Is End of Evangelion one of the greatest films of the 20th century?

nyone else excited to see our classic boy in another great lead?
Dano is going to smash this part.
>>64333318
Yes.
I want to see more of Lily Jame's hairy forearms, but it looks like she waxed for this. She had really nice looking black arm hair.
The BBC doesn't have the budget to do it justice, even in the era of CGI.
Characters who are basically and literally you
same
same
same
Is she fucking crazy?
Yes but I love her
Twitter was a mistake
>>64329673
I like her
I could never get into the design of this thing.
Even as a kid, the asymmetry of the cockpit being off to the fucking side made it impossible for me to enjoy the toys.
What a terrible design.
Austism general?
It's a piece of junk!
Admit it
You enjoyed the FUCK out of the prequels when they first came out, and only turned on them because it was the meme thing to do, and you secretly wish George Lucas was in charge again, so we'd have some semblance of original content, instead of the same old rehashed duckface Stormtrooper bullshit Episode 4 remake with niggers that we got with 7
Just fucking admit it
>>64326846
Force Awakens was just... boring.
It had decent moments, but it was just forgettable. Killed my entire Star Wars hype completely. Like, I don't even care now.
>>64326846
No. Because I wasn't kid when they came out.
>>64326923
It was made for kiddies. So does your mindset fit well into that universe?
>Call me a geek, but the highlight of my Christmas season was seeing Daisy Ridley as Rey in The Force Awakens, grasping Luke’s old lightsaber beating seven shades out of one of cinema's most creepy-yet-terrifying villains.
>If Rey and other kick-ass heroines are icons of geek feminism, Kylo Ren seems like a portrait of geek masculinity at its worst.
>Kylo Ren impotently thrashing a computer with his big red sword is the perfect portrait of Gamergate, the online hate campaign that continued its crusade against feminist video game reviewers in 2015. If Kylo Ren’s buddies in the First Order have a manifesto, don't be surprised if point one is "actually it's about ethics in galactic domination".
>There's an unfortunate overlap between geek culture and the “manosphere”. Men who still harbour the low self-esteem often associated with geek culture can be easily sucked in by "meninist" rhetoric, absurd ideas of Alpha and Gamma maleness, pick-up training, and a toxic attitude to women that has enthroned feminism as its enemy. They are angry and act like bigots because they believed something only they should be entitled to was being taken away.
>The Red Pill, a metaphor culled from scifi movie The Matrix, is the central metaphor of the manosphere. Swallowing the pill means waking up to reality, but in a bitter twist of irony, it's not the reality of sexism and bigotry. Instead "red pillers" believe in a shared delusional system in which "Feminazis" and "Social Justice Warriors" have taken over the world.
>If that's true of our geek culture icons, it's just as true in the wider culture of masculinity. In a world where straight white male is no longer the de facto face of heroism, what new identity do men aspire to? For too long male identity has been twisted to serve values of violence and militarism. Maybe Star Wars offers a little hint here as well, in the strong but loving shape of Po Dameron, who makes caring a part of the male soul.
Thoughts on this, lads?
>>64323837
>geek male culture
what the fuck does that even mean?
>some "geeks" act like idiots so that means all "geeks" also act the same
Oh fuck off
>>64323837
Everyone knows that true male identity is being a cuck. Keep up white boi.
>>64323837
I don't understand what Kylo Ren has to do with gamergate. What in the fuck is with those faggots saying everything is gamergate? That shit died out over a year ago and the anti-gg people still blame it for shit and compare everything to it. Its like they know they were in the wrong, but still, a year later, try to prove to themselves they were somehow in the right.
