Looks way cooler too. I wouldn't be surprised if they changed the saber at this point, considering the reaction.

When I saw the trailer, I saw a panting Stormtrooper without a helmet and a Tatooine native on a big hover-bike, but when you saw it all you saw was a black man and a woman which is apparently shoving diversity in your face...

Tell us more about how it's stupid to call you a closet racist.

If you actually read the thread it's more about a lack of character shown when compared to initial reveals of other characters that makes it feel like tokenism. Actually read an argument before you try to interject. Because right now you're arguing in favor of tokenism and calling those who support minorities having expanded roles in films instead of filling diversity quotas racist.
The problem here is that you seem to think tokenism is some bad thing that should be avoided. Let's remember that this is a Star Wars film. I don't see how being black is going to ever be an integral aspect of a character where aliens and robots exist.

I- is that a black clone?
Not all the Storm Troopers are Clone Troopers
This is news to me.
Shouldn't be.
In all fairness, that topic is really only covered in the EU. Took me quite a while before I actually found that out.
There also is the fact that it's pretty obvious the Stormtroopers weren't meant to be clones in the OT considering they all have different voices and the officers don't even have their faces covered..

That fan-made trailer that you all think is > than the real one is complete shit. Disgustingly bad dialogue and cringe inducing everything else.

Its a decent trailer.

It may be shit, but it's still better than Forced Diversity: The Cast, Progressive Pandering edition, the cringe worthy bad guy voice acting, retard saber, soccer ball droid,  and the movie canon ignoring dialogue.
One black character in the entire movie is forced diversity?

what's the over/under on that guy being revan
What if he's just strongly inspired by Revan but a different character?

....I'm really not excited for this movie.  It has J.J. Abrams' STINK all over it.

It feels like he really is going to do to Star Wars what he did to Star Trek:  "Screw the source material, COOL THINGS!  EXPLOSIONS!  RUNNING!"
What source material?

Because they feel the system is broken and want change.
because destroying people's livelihoods is in any way conducive to progressive change instead of more violence.
Something tells me the rioters didn't sit down to rationally weigh out the pros and cons of their actions before they started.
There were peaceful protests but violent gangs used it as a guise to go rob and destroy stuff to get away with it.
Maybe in some cases.

The discussion there is somewhat more challenging than the discussion here, and more thought-provoking.
Doesn't look like it. But I only checked out the US forum.

Serious / Re: Michael Brown Verdict due at 9PM EST
« on: November 24, 2014, 10:47:00 PM »
And yes, Brown was murdered by the cop.  Don't know how emptying a clip into an unarmed person isn't fucking overkill.
Because a single bullet does not guarantee death or incapacitation of the target.
Especially considering the size of Brown
And if there really was a struggle for the gun, the cop probably would have been panicking.

Really depends on how things go within the next couple decades. We live in a pretty important time and I think our outcome will be determined by how we handle it now.

Serious / Re: Republicans hold more college degrees than democrats
« on: November 19, 2014, 01:08:27 PM »
while Republicans tend to be more educated when it comes to things like gun rights and privacy rights
These are two of the major issues that they are misinformed about. On gun control they're downright lied to by the media and politicians.

How does this change your view on the typical 'dumb republican stereotype' the majority of you hold?

It doesn't. Unfortunately an education doesn't educate you on all subjects, therefore a college degree doesn't equate to political astuteness. I would be much more impressed if I read a study that shows Republicans are better informed on issues than Democrats.
