Really, Disney? Le eternal asian samurai with high honor and dexterity? Is this the best you could come up with? In a galaxy with thousands of alien races, you come up with this?
>>68012312
But all Star Wars movies have samurai with high honor and dexterity.
Diversity quota filled. Chink audience get.
>>68012342
None were on the nose like this. He's fucking blind and uses his stick to fight armored soldiers with martial arts. You literally can't have a more stereotypical character. Even Mary Sue Skywalker in TFA and now Hannah Solo have more going for them.
>>68012379
You know nothing about his personal beliefs or philosophy though.
>>68012312
>they get the Raid guys
>15 second cameo
>they get Donny Yen
>probably a 10 minute scene
FUCKING REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Do you know he's human? Could be Miralukan. Don't care either way. Blind non-jedi monk is cool as fuck.
>>68012402
Maybe he's from a group called KANJI KLUB. They eat sushi in the Mos Eisley cantina.
>>68012342
not actual asians though. They are clearly pandering to asia because VII did awful there, they don't understand it's because they don't like niggers.
>>68012445
More power to you, my man. Enjoy the taste of Disney in your mouth.
>>68012469
Don't worry lad I already booked my tickets for the upcoming 25 spacekino
Stay mad autist
>>68012451
Kitano style Space Yakuza movie about Kanji club please.

nothingu personalu kitto
So like we take all the stuff from the original trilogy them we'll like add some kung fu asian guy and some bad ass chick and um an angry black guy yeeeeah then add some sweet quips like "I'm a rebel, i rebel"
>>68012374
>Diversity quota filled.
>le all asians know martial arts meme
>>68012312
Disney needs the China audience. I just wish they made him a Jedi.
>>68012408
>>they get the Raid guys
>>15 second cameo
>>68012379
>implying he's not an ex-Jedi who sees through the Force
Come on, do you even Star Wars?
maybe he's a miraluka
>>68012379
he is obviously a force user
>>68012466
Then why did Pacific Rim do so well there?
>>68012853
Because it's about giant mech robots fighting against a bunch of giant godzilla monsters. That shit is like catnip to them
>>68012853
>giant robots
>kaijus

SW finally just goes back to its roots instead trying to mask itself as something else.

they should let the team behind Star Wars: Rebels do every movie from now on, I am dead serious. that shit is miles better than the Prequels or TFA
>>68013089
>Watching black and white movies
I'm not 60, gramps.
>>68012374
funnily enough, western audiences love martial arts stuff more than the actual far east
it had already been over saturated in the market by the 50s over there so no sense in doing that
>>68013094
and add more Twi'leks to everything
>>68013034

What's he pointing at? Is itthese digits?
>>68013057
Actually there are only 5 in the picture
>>68012312
My guess is that he'll become one of the knights of Ren. Still doesn't explain why he had to be asian though. Lefties will probably cry cultural appropriation left and right when this movie comes out.
>>68013023
SW's roots were never modern flippy floppy cartwheel kungfu man. Look at how sword fights are portrayed in kurosawa movies and look how sword fights are portrayed in the original trilogy
>>68013094
Rebels is trash except for the Vader scenes.
>>68013057
>Implying the seventh samurai is not the viewer
>>68013200
>SW's roots were never modern flippy floppy cartwheel kungfu man.
totally
>>68013177
Nah, TFA takes place 30+ years later. 20 bucks says he dies in a fight with Vader.
>>68013177
Why cant he be asian..?
>>68013329
This, Yen is 52, that would put him in his mid-80's.
>>68013236
your opinion is trash
>>68013300

Go home you underage redditor

>>68013364
The only reason the duels in the OT aren't as flash is because of effects limitations.
>>68013441
What effect limitations? It doesn't cost much to pay a chinese stunt double in a hooded robe to do a couple flips. No, they weren't flashy because they were more about the clash of ideals and wills than a bunch of showy wushu nonsense.
>>68013034
sleep tight N4-PR
that thread was great
>>68013441
[citation needed]
George Lucas said he was inspired by a kurosawa movie and the duels are all but flashy in there.
>>68013034
I really hate this forced meme.
>>68012312
Martial arts in Star Wars?! Good golly, they really jumped the shark!
>>68013462
>>68013480
And Lucas has also said that he wanted the fights to be flashy like in the prequels but they couldn't do it at the time.
>>68013142

Furious 7, TFA and captain america: winter soldier are all some of the highest grossing movies in China, and they all heavily feature blacks, faggot. sorry these chinese don't share your white pussy feelings.
>>68013508
Lucas has said literally hundreds of really retarded things post-prequels that he obviously just pulled out of his ass.
>>68013560
I don't get it.
>>68013523
haha le sleep stormtrooper so funny!
Yeah it's totally not a forced reddit meme.
>>68013508
George said a lot of bullshit, but even if these were his hypothetical goals it doesn't really matter.
The fans liked the original prequels not for what they might have become if Lucas would have had a bigger budget and was never challenged in his vision, but for what they actually turned out to be.
To return to the initial discussion: Claiming that flashy kung fu man is bringing SW back to its roots, when the original trilogy was completely different - for whatever reason - is factually wrong.
>>68012312
Have to wonder why they wear the armour when a guy with a stick can knock them out
>>68013592
So Lucas' statements are right when they support your argument but wrong when they support mine?
>>68013622
*original trilogy
not prequels
>>68013633
No, Lucas's statements are wrong when they occur post-divorce and regarding the prequel trilogy.
Woo hoo, more propaganda in Star Wars. Kasdan said in an interview that he and JJ asked themselves what it would be like if the Nazis had gone to Argentina and regrouped after WWII.
From birth, Jews are raised with this idea that homogeneous white societies will inevitably result in goose-stepping, ethnic cleansing, and warmongering. And I could understand that outlook if history had begun in 1930. But the truth is, whites are the most egalitarian and least barbaric group in human history.
That's what frustrates many of us when Jewish Hollywood sensibilities become accepted norms. They're slanted, prejudiced and their bias goes unchallenged by everyone.
The First Order was a Jewish take on ultimate evil. And because modern Jews are obsessed with The Shoah and WWII everything magically relates to MUH SIX MILLION.
It has gotten boring. It's stale. I wish we could get a more nuanced view of evil, but that won't happen because show-biz Jews always find a way of politicizing everything.
Like, recently I saw a movie set in 1920s London. There were sevearl shots of a black man and a white woman walking as a couple in the street. It was there to sell us something. It was out of place and revisionist. It's tacky and it's condescending.
The objective is to shape public opinion with the assumption that everyone needs "educating" and are too dumb to pick up on the flagrant advertising of their agenda. In this case, it was a short throwaway scene and it still took me out of the movie. The message is basically, "You're too dumb to find the right opinions by yourself, so we're going to give you the occasional nudge by placing certain things in the media you consume."
The whole PC placement thing just seems dishonest and manipulative. Flagrant product placement annoys me whether it's a product I like or not. It takes me out of the ride that it should be, pauses everything to remind me what I'm supposed to think, and then expects me to jump back in with full enthusiasm.
>>68013622
That's fine and all, but I don't see the problem with a guy doing martial arts in Star Wars.

More power to you then.
I never worshipped SW as much as other people do anyways, so I am indifferent to the whole staying true the source debate anyways... if I had to make a judgement, I'd say they are shoving too much generic bullshit into it though. Kungfu Chinaman is as clichee as you can get-
>>68012853
It was a chink genre movie
if Star Wars was inspired so much by chink movies, how come lightsabers are straight?

This is how simple it is, OP.
It's literally this and it's nothing else.
>>68012853
The nigger isn't a lead and can easily be ignored. Just like Furious 7.
>>68013587
Furious 7 has Vindiesel diesel and the rock and the niggers are hardly in the movie, at least not nearly as much as you say they are. They are far from heavily infolved. Captain America only made 100 million there. Transformers 3, 4, and even zootopia did better there by at least two fold.
>>68013560
let me guess, you're angered by the fact that the prequel Obi Wan appears as the first image and that mcgregor appears before alec guinness in the played by list? Well fuck you, Ewan Mcgregor was perfect casting and he did a good job with what he had to work with.

Me and my buddy have been saying this since clone wars. The animated series manages to have fully fleshed out characters as a fucking cartoon and actually manages to give big power people like vader presence. The team that does these animated series is 100x better than whoever the fuck is in charge of the movies.
>>68012312
was anyone else instantly reminded of that horrible anime sword fight scene from Predators? this shit has no place in a star wars movie tbpf

Well, Star Wars is known for it's FORCE'd memes.
