"The 22-year-old British actor posted the message on Instagram yesterday after his appearance in the new trailer for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" aroused feverish discussion on social media. Some questioned whether a black Stormtrooper made sense, while others reacted with racist remarks."

There's nothing wrong with whoever plays the part as long as they are good.Having said that, I'm 99% sure JJ knew what he was doing also.To be honest, black or white, i thought it was a weird beginning for the trailer.The whole"wild eyed , disorientated, come from below" shot has been done before, and it really does not fit a sci- fi franchaise.They should have gone with a bigger, non character, related opening.There's a reason why the opening scence of "Star Wars" is so iconic.

It's clear that Darth Vader has been reading Fuji's remarks on the Michael Brown thread and has hurriedly instituted an affirmative action program for his death stormtrooper army.

Typical CNN inciting racism because they still are looking for MH370. CNN should be removed from all partner hotels because they have an agenda now.

As I wrote, if it were Samuel L. Jackson popping up in the trailer, I would have been jumping up and down. But it's not, it's a 22 year old punk who (I think)
should not be in the Star Wars universe. Same with Hayden Christensen who played Aniken Skywalker, he really sucked.

What the racists at CNN don't know, and don't want anyone to know, is that Lando Calrissian, Darth Maul, and that hot chick on Jabba's chain,
were brown, red, and green in make-up.

P.S.: As for John Boyega, the child plagiarizing Han Solo and Luke Skywalker in Storm-Trooper garb, telling everyone to "Get used to it", the film is already a fail.

Gyaos.
 
Who really cares since every Stormtrooper will have their helmets on and you can't tell what race is he.
 
in the expansion universe the empire had a humancentric policy. non-humans were marginalized. racism among humans is non-existent in star wars

I'm hella lot less sure of JJ Abrams' abilities. However, that's John Boyega of Attack the Block fame, and he is a damned fine actor. And he's not just "a stormptrooper", but plays a major role. So I'm sure he'll be fine and well cast.

Kinda depressing how merely casting a black actor is generating just as much flack as Lucas's obscenely racist caricatures of Jews and Southern Blacks in the prequels. How little we've moved ahead. Backwards, even. Still, to all you racist cunts:

Billy Dee Williams...just saying

Its not like Friends which took place in a galaxy where black people do not exist
 
If he is a named actor, it would be fair to say that he's not going to be just a generic throw away body. There's going to be more to the story and plot line advancement.
 
I think that the issue some people had is that all of the Stormtroopers were originally supposed to be clones of Jango Fett, so none of them would have been black.

That said, after the empire was broken up, the original ranks were replenished with volunteers, so there is no reason why a stormtrooper found in a movie taking place after the first six films couldn't be black.

As I read the scene, he's a secondary character posing as a Stormtrooper in some desperate escape attempt.

Him being black is the whole point of the scene composition.
The contrast to the clone white uniform to reveal a real person.
 
This whole "ohhhh nooo there cant be a black stormtrooper" anguish is only felt by 2 groups of idiots, racists and film school failures. Yes there can be black/white/South Asian stormtroopers as they are simple recruits from across the galaxy, as stated a ton of times, the original Clone army which Fett is based off of is long gone so the Empire had to go get recruits the old fashioned way. Personally I LOVED the teaser it smacked of urgency, darkness and danger, all 3 things that Lucas lacked in having Jar Jar run around in the prequels. You want to watch a clip that is hilarious and I will try to find it, watch the Star Wars film crew looking at the final cut of the Phantom Menace, all of them have the look of what the fuck did we just do? because no one had the guts to tell Lucas he has gone nuts.
 
the reason why the empire decided to use recruits

I just said it didn't matter who played the part.How did that make me a racist cunt?
 
Because everyone is a racist cunt who doesn't want to give black people 50% of all future Hollywood roles even though they're 10% of the population. Also they must always be portrayed as morally perfect and never as the villain. The villain must always be white.

Even in a movie depicting modern sexual slavery in North America, the pimp is white (Taxi Driver)

If you don't agree to this then you will always be a racist cunt in the eyes of the radical liberals.

Hey while we're at it, why don't we make Conan and Hercules black as well (oh yeah :rolleyes:)

Unless you're one of the morons troubled by the fact that there's a black dude in a stormtrooper outfit, you're not. Is there some particular reason you thought the "racist cunt" was directed at you?
