I like to think that someday these SJW comments will hit critical mass and we, as a society, will realize that they are what happens when insane or broken people get internet access, and they will then be ignored, accordingly.

I didn't see the SW comment as SJW?

New trailer is about to premier on ESPN during the MNF Halftime.
I like to imagine this was an intended shot at Gordon.
Update: It was awesome. Why don't they show Luke? What's he hiding under that hood?

They seem to really know their target demographic.

It was eh. I bet I could take 2 minutes of Ep I and work it into a comparable trailer.

Troll starts a hashtag to boycott Star Wars because it's "anti-white".
So, of course, racists on both sides come out of the woodwork to discuss it.
"Racists on both sides" means actual racists and all the racists who don't realize they're racists like the one who are lumping ALL white people in or linking this to Trump or Republicans. Etc.
And with all the fake wars being perpetuated by republicans in the past few months I wouldn't be suppressed if they started this one to.
"I could laugh at the obvious stupidity of the people behind this hashtag, but honestly it's just endemic of the bigger issue that we have with race in this country. If we were indeed post-racial then having a non-White lead in Star Wars (or any other movie) would just be business as usual. Instead we have a bunch of White people whose privilege is so threatened by this that they are equating it to "white genocide". The world we live in, folks."
Those are the FB posts that FB thinks are relevant enough to include in this "top news" story.

Jewish activist JJ Abrams is an anti-white nut.
The fuck? He might be anti-talented but I guess all the whities in "Lost" were window dressing. This reminds me of how pissed people were when Idris Elba played a Norse god ... sorry, let me rephrase: a god worshipped by white dudes, so he himself must be white.

Whoa. That's ... now I KNOW they are going to do it right. In the time of the prequels the Jedi and the Force are powerful and known by those in power if not by everyone, in the time of the first movies the Jedi and the Force are barely known as some cooky old religion, and now in the time of the next movies they've passed into myth and legend.
Someone over there is actually paying attention to what they are doing here, not just making a spectacle.

I read something a couple days ago saying the "star wars is racist" thing was meant to be a troll to see who would buy into it, like the "piss your pants for feminism" thing.

Just saw this fan theory: Luke is Kylo Ren.
Obviously, this would take some swerving by JJ Abrams to work considering Adam Driver is playing Kylo Ren, but don't we need intentional swerving in this day and age? Don't we need a worked swerve to make "I am your father" happen in this internet era?
Personally, I think Luke's going to be an amalgam of Obi Wan and Yoda, but with ties to the light and dark side of the force.

If that's true, then fuck this trilogy.

I believe official canon is that Kylo Ren is a major fan boy of Vader. He has the helmet, and if you remember, Luke tossed it aside on the second Death Star. I hope we see a scene explaining how it left the Death Star and made its way to him.

It gives me shades of Jason building a shrine to his dead mom in Friday the 13th. It's hokey and the last vision we have of Vader isn't the towering, imposing bad-ass that lopped off Luke's hand. It's the emo, angsty, whiny little bitch who got played and racked up his high body count pulling a Jedi Sandy Hook.
