im lov finnreybut i swear if finn is doing ‘everything for rey’ when he clearly defected from the first order before he even met her….

When he defected, he was just running away. He was all set to run off and be forgotten, until he saw Rey get taken. Only then did he start running back into danger, to make sure she was safe. 

I mean true but that just means theyre portraying finnrey as a lopsided ship - as if Finn’s only motivator is Rey. What about his family? What about what he thinks is right? 

Was it Rey that made him lower his blaster away from the villagers? No. It was his own sense of morality.

Imagine if this was the other way around. If they were marketing it as if Rey’s sole reason to fight was Finn. People would be calling SW out for being sexist, so why isn’t this a problem?

Anyways we haven’t seen the movie yet so I’ll hold out hop but the promo material is concerning.

There's a Asian lead in Star Wars?? Wow I didn't even know that, they didn't show her in the trailer at all

Yep.

Kelly Marie Tran and she’s Vietnamese American. I like that she’s getting some buzz but at the same time, they’re sidelining her and it’s as if they’re trying to show her as little as possible. “Here’s some Asian American representation but everytime there’s a new trailer, she won’t be in it” is basically what they’ve been saying.

I just hope she’s not some background character with barely any lines and is only in the movie for like 5 minutes total.

I don’t like edgy adult cartoons. The fact is that parents have a hard time telling the difference from cartoons made for kids and shit like South Park. A lot of people who have been watching South Park since elementary school age has definitely had their moral view of the world extensively damaged from growing up watching a show that tells them that they’re allowed to be the worst person they can and that anyone that fights for anything is a stuck-up asshole.

Edgy adult cartoons, are going to be watched by kids a lot more than it would be if it were live action. Especially if it’s in an art style that makes it look like a kids show. Kids don’t have great moral processing. A kid sees Cartman as the main character yelling his typical anti-Semitic rhetoric and thinks that this is good because the “good guy” in the show is saying it. South Park is a bad satire. And even if it was a good satire, little kids aren’t really able to identify satire.

When I was growing up, I didn’t see anyone like me in movies. And I wanted to be white for the longest time, because I thought that meant my story would be valid. When you’re a kid, you see images on TV and on billboards and in magazines–they all look the same, and you wonder, ‘Why don’t I look like that? And can I change myself to look like that?’

Really disappointed that John won't be doing much promo tour as well, but I'm thinking and hoping that perhaps it has more to do with John getting involved with post-prod work on Pacific Rim Uprising rather than Lucasfilm going "lol no we don't need you to promote the movie".

Avatar

i doubt that. lucasfilm has been systematically erasing finn out of star wars since TFA came out so excluding john from the bulk of TLJ promo seems like the logical next step for them to achieve their racist goal. john isnt the only person working on PRU and he’s said before that he gives the team their creative freedom/respect - so i doubt he’s so busy w/PRU that he cant do some TLJ promo. pacific rim uprising doesnt premiere until march - theres no reason that john cant promote TLJ for november/december and then move on to PRU promotion in january. i dont know why so many people want to give lucasfilm the benefit of the doubt when theyve consistently shown that they want to promote the white actors over the actors of color (specifically the black co-lead). 

Avatar

i doubt it completely. there are many actors who work on multiple projects at the time. but the studious always make sure to negotiate that their leads will be able to attend promotion tours between filming. lucasfilm and disney are not a minor studio and john has been working on their films for longer, so i am sure there were negotiations about this made when he signed up for pacific rim. john being erased from this is not because pacific rim. it’s because of lucasfilm and i wish fans would stop trying to find excuses for this shit. john went out of his way to make it to the celebration, only to be ignored there, while adam who could not be bothered to make it was constantly praised and celebrated. so enough with the excuses.

enough with this benefit of the doubt bs. we have given hollywood the benefit of the doubt for years and look how far it’s gotten us. john went out of his way to make it to the celebration only for lucasfilm to ignore and snub him there. they have snubbed him from advertisements and interview. 

white fans need to take a step back and stop telling us “to give it the benefit of the doubt” like we haven’t had to hear that all of our damn lives. 

why don’t YOU give US the benefit of the doubt and actually listen to our concerns instead of trying to silence minorities just because as a white fan you get the privilege to ignore this shit and just “enjoy yourself”.

anyway since so many of you seems to have such a major empathy gap, i ask you, would you be telling white women to ‘calm down” if daisy was being treated how john was being treated if they dared to show concerns of sexism. 

don’t bother to answer we all know the answer to this question.

I love when people are like Japanese people in japan or Mexican people in Mexico don’t care about cultural appropriation lol stupid sjws. Friend do you know the diaspora experience is a completely different experience than growing up in your country of origin and never being shamed or shunned or criminalized for practicing your culture or looking different?

This is really late to be asking this but out of all the actresses being considered for Rey, which one do you think would have done a much better job at portraying the character?

I’ve never seen maisie in anything so that’s up in the air, jessica could totally handle the action and actually look powerful and believeable doing it (daisy feels choreographed af sorry not sorry) but devery has this quiet vulnerability that could’ve made rey a more nuanced character so I’d go w her

The only good thing about the TLJ promo is Kelly Marie Tran
