Why was this so shocking to people? America had been ruled by a black man for seven years and the biggest musicians in the country were all black at the time.
What was the big deal?

Obama was a harmless light skinned Uncle Tom not a full on ape straight out of the jungle.

My little white pcker get hard

I don't think it was really shocking to anyone except maybe chinks.
IIRC The Force Awakens is one of the most financially successful films of all time.
>>
He was too black, boyega is a shitty actor, on top of the character being not that exciting.I listened to Ryan Johnsons last jedy commentary, he loves praising actors but he said nothing about John boyega, but I would also argue ryan made his character even worse.

Nobody was happy to see this. You must not have been on /tv/ at the time.
>>
>>219272885
I think the point was that he was a stormtrooper. That's what I took from the trailer and yeah, he's black but I was ignorant as to how much it mattered to people at the time.

He looks so raw and savage, like he'd just beat a coconut against a rock and drank the juice. Jungle life, congo survivor

Fatigue set in early and reached its breaking point, leading to Trump.
>>
>>219273179
Beautiful imagery
>>
>>219272885
people thought it was more 2010s black pandering and forgot that stormtroopers were not clones
>>
>>219273117
I wasn't but I was one of the people who paid a combined ~$2 billion to watch it.
And I think I'd have to be kinda deranged to think that /tv/ is really representative of the zeitgeist.
>>
>>219273071
It was financially successful despite all the bullshit Disney did to fuck it up. People were just desperate for more Star Wars again, they would have eaten anything that got shat out into their troughs and in fact did right up until TLJ showed them that the House of Mouse had no intention of doing anything beyond spiteful cash grabs.
>>
>>219273179
>>
>>219272885
Now that I look at it, how the fuck did those helmets even fit over his head?
>>
>>219273331
I feel like if TLJ was a just a spiteful cash grab then it would've had more fanservice and been less weird and unsatisfying.
>>
>>219272885
just look at it
>>
>>219273496
So just spiteful then

They make everything ugly on purpose and it's annoying

Look how fucking ugly he is

The character was originally White btw as was Poe.
>>
>>219273102
ryan turned him into a joke
and boyega complained from day 1
just look at the scene where he's clowning around in a medical apparatus leaking everywhere
boyega forgot that you got to kiss some ass early in your career, instead went "no one is disney+ing me" from the get go
>>
>>219273820
It's not like he had any talent to begin with. He was a DEI hire from day 1.
>>
>>219272885
It wouldn't have been that bad if the trailer didn't open up with "look, a stormtrooper took off his helmet and HE'S BLACK! HE'S BLACK, doesn't that shock you? HE'S BLACK!"
>>
>>219273820
You're making stuff up. He was already comic relief in THE FORCE AWAKENS.
If anything, Ryan gave him an actual arc instead of "Rey's sidekick"
>>
>>219273496
It did have fanservice for Spaceballs
>>
>>219272885
Its probably because he’s ugly, it’s a Blackpill situation
>>
>>219274037
What fucking arc?
>traipsing around the ship in his weird piss suit despite bacta tanks being a thing
>immediate 180 on his character from being willing to stage a rescue in the heart of the enemy base and 1v1ing a guy with a lightsaber to wanting to flee like a coward
>gets tasered by a doughy asian janitor
>runs off on a wild goose chase to casino planet and gets arrested for illegal parking
>doesn't even find the right guy he was trying to find
>gets betrayed almost immediately, or caught, I don't even remember what the fuck happened on the ship it was pretty fucking stupid, did that evil BB-8 spot them or what
>uh I guess he humiliates his old boss again, she's probably dead until they bring her back in a TV show or novel or some gay shit
>inadvertently gets around 95% of the surviving rebels killed
>can't even succeed at killing himself
His character is an absolute joke.
>>
>>219272885
That’s not an African American though, who usually have a relatively large percentage of white ancestry to temper down the black features. What we have here is a full blooded Nigerian fuzzy-wuzzy. That nose looks like it should have a bone stuck through it.
>>
>>219273117
Maybe because TFA is a rehash of ANH and they cast a black dude who thinks star wars was too white as the main cast only to be replaced by a white woman at the end of the movie?
>>
>>219272885
It was two sided. Some people were pissed for the racial reasons, the other was that stormtroopers were all clones but now it was just some black guy (keep in mind nobody knew the new story being that clones are gone and they just use orphans instead). So the trailer annoyed pretty much everyone.
>>
>>219274312
lol there's a clip of samuel l jackson saying they should have cast a black american dude instead of that nigerian-british fag.
>>
>>219274387
>nobody knew the new story being that clones are gone
Well the clones would all be like 50+ years old by that point. And with their accelerated aging would any of them still be alive?
>>
>>219272885
>why did some /pol/tards spam this image
is what you meant to say.
>>
>>219274544
What is a poltard
>>
>>219274562
A tourist.
>>
>>219274484
They kept making new clones, they didn't just have one batch and decide that would be enough for the next 30 years. Keep in mind as well that the first lot of clones were made when Darth Vader was still Anakin.
>>
>>219274633
There was never any evidence that the stormtroopers from the original trilogy were clones.
Regardless, why would they continue making clones for decades after the Empire had ceased to be?
>>
>>219274005
This only happened in your head
>>
>>219274830
it only happened on the screen
>>
>>219274562
'people' who love israel and diaper grandpa
>>
>>219274005
Was this the very beginning of true woke? I don't remember anything being as blatant before that.
