    That wouldn't be 'whitewashing', that would just be ... casting, IMO.

    If Fassbender's gotta be a Fett, I only hope he's that other "Fett"

    Because he looks just like that guy. And a Twin Engines of Destruction-type plot would actually be pretty kickass. Especially in light of the fact of TCW, where Fett's already had to deal with identity issues.

    If they do it I so hope Jodo stays a Rebel Alliance Elite Soldier gone bad.

    Ugh, not a Fett fan.

    *ducks from projectiled objects*

    If they are going to make a movie about him, I hope he comes across as the badass that his OT-era fans think he is, as opposed to the whiny little **** that he was in TCW.

    Sirius XM The Hits channel was talking about a bounty hunter spinoff for 2016 on one of their morning shows though, so I'm not discounting it.

    I'm sure all the Fett fans didn't like how Filoni destroyed his helmet, Slave I, have him a denial about being a clone, a fruitless pursuit to kill Mace, babysitters in the form of Aurra Sing and Borsk and made Ventress humiliate him Bounty huntingwise either.

    From Empire on, it was all downhill for Fett!

    AOTC Fett & EU Fett>ROTJ Fett. But untarnished Empire Fett was still best.

    Well, that was the best known thing EU writers were specifically banned from elaborating on when Lucas was in charge - but Lucas is not in charge anymore.

    You know, I joked about it in the social thread, but it's honestly extremely scary that in this day and age someone - and no matter how much of a wacko he is, he literally has an audience - finds a single popular film not being dominated by men to be threatening. Like, that's not just an "ignorant male privilege" thing. That's pretty much open misogyny.

    Well, Steve Doocey's just an idiot--it's the woman that I find scary.

    I had to stop watching the video when she started talking about the movie theater shooting in Colorado and masculinity. Just so many things were wrong in that conversation. I think what disturbs me the most is she is a mom. What kind of values / gender roles is she teaching her kids?

    Nothing, she's too busy doing TV appearances. They basically say that right up front.

    Apparently, only women are capable of getting their children ready for school.

    And she's teaching her children "real men" values. REAL MEN; it's a phrase that must be mentioned once every 30 seconds.

    She probably uses phrases like "boys don't cry" and "you throw like a girl." Reebok needs to get on her stupid ass.

    Any idea what they think of Atlantis: the lost empire? I mean the main male character is a non-physical nerd and all the named females are of the stronger kind.

    You want to get on their mailing list, you go right ahead.

    Okay, so I don't know anything about LoL but I'm trying to understand this story--someone be devil's advocate and explain to me how being gay (theoretically) gives someone an advantage in the game, because what?

    That's some pretty LOL reasoning right there.
