ST What would get you so mad that you would walk out of Episode VII?

So sure are you? What do you think Han and Leia did on the way to Besbin without a Hyperdrive? Play Parcheesi? Yeah, that explains why they were still fighting like alley cats when they got there...

And I'm not even going to touch the whole "There are no gay people in the GFFA" garbage. If it's important to the story, a character will have a same gender partner, and I guarantee not one of the other characters would bat an eyelash.

FWIW, Hutts are not only hermaphrodites, but they change sexes at will.

 

"I have lots of friends that are X"...?

There are people still seriously using that?

I will say, though, that I agree that Star Wars isn't necessarily meant as a place to push social justice. For something like Star Trek with its explicitly inclusionist character principles, the lack of any gay characters is glaring. But I don't think it's as much of an issue for Star Wars.

 

Two slave leia's making out with each other would not make me walk out of the movie. It'd be too awkward to stand up.

 

People who use the "I have friends that are such and such" excuse to cover up their derp make me very irritated.

 

If I didn't walk out of Phantom Menace, then I won't be walking out of VII.

In fact I went to see Phantom Menace a second time, to make sure I didn't just have an off day the first time and that the movie really was that bad/disappointing.

 

bugs in my popcorn!

 

A dead person sitting next to me.

 

I'd still watch, even with a corpse sitting next to me. I've seen Weekend at Bernie's, I know how much fun corpses can be.

 

10 minutes of non stop shaky cam and lens flare and I'm out of there... I'm sorry...

 

That's not meant as an Aurora reference, is it?

 

Anything that tries to apologise for the prequel trilogy or cater to prequel haters.

 

What he means in this business of trying to cram a gay character into ever film, weather it fits the plot or not. No need to be so freaking PC.

 

This! So this!

 

As far as I'm concerned, Karen Traviss' Mandalorians are the ONLY Mandalorians!

 

If I was busting to go to the bathroom

No, actually I'd just stay in my seat & let it happen

 

I'm fine with gay characters (or characters with other socially-prosecuted traits) -- IF it's not their defining characteristic in a one dimensional performance. Because then it's in-your-face indoctrination and shock, and quite frankly, insulting to real gay people.

I love many of the shows HBO produces but they specialize in the spectacle of exploiting gay people and making their characters 90% about their sexual orientation, this is the kind of exploitation I find disgusting. Even with the current hit Game of Thrones we are treated to the spectacle of a gay knight and his character is 90% about his gayness and little else interesting about the character. Instead of accepting homosexuality as one of several components of a person they make the character a carboard cutout of gay spectacle put in there to inflame the audience. It's as if the characters literally do nothing else in their life but worry about sex. It's been like this in all their premiere high-profile shows for the last decade.

Even with mainstream shows like Modern Family they do tend to exploit the spectacle of Cam and Mitchell's relationship but at least the characters have some dimension aside from being gay.

 

As long as it's the sparkly kind of undead and not the vicious, monstrous predator kind of undead I'd be cool with it.

And let's face it, the monstrous kind of undead is a myth of the past, now they're all pretty.
