    So everything should only be set after the movies?

    Some of the best & most popular Star Wars content is from thousands of years in the past

    The next Star Wars movie should be about travelling to a long time in the future, in a galaxy far, far away to prevent their awful existence from ever being created. And once they defeat Lucas at the end of the first and only showing of the movie, all Star Wars products should be removed from the shelves, just to reinforce the narrative and make it super immersive.

    John Boyega did not come to play on social media regarding the George Floyd murder and I love him for it. He shut down the “b...bu...but...not all white people” crowd without any bull****.

    Language beneath the cut. The whole thread is worthwhile, not just the initial tweet.

    John Boyega is great, and if your ears start burning at something innocuous as "I hate racists" or such a statement makes you really feel the need to stress how much not all white people are racist, it's not a great look on you.

    Because, if you're not a racist, then the statement isn't about you and shouldn't put you on edge. End of.

    He's actually responding to a lot of people in that thread. He's making his position very clear and he is not backing down at all.

    Many of these facts are widely known to Star Wars fans, but there are some interesting ones I was not aware of

    Yep, and I really admire how he is sitting there fending it all off.

    White supremacists say that I feel "White Guilt" for being enraged at what happened to George Floyd, but I don't feel guilty at all. I have never felt guilt for being white. I'm enraged. And angry that this happened. And I despise that people armed with guns "protesting" efforts to stop a plague spreading were met with less resistance than a legit protest about someone dying in police custody.

    Boyega is able to put it into words and is able to just destroy the concern trolling morons. (I used morons because the word I wanted to use is banned.)

    Indeed. :D

    I think my favorite is when he said racist fans could go **** themselves.

    He shut down the comments on his Instagram post because he said he would not let those arguing with him get the last word.

    I’ve had tremendous respect for Boyega for some time. He’s quite attuned today he’d issues for an actor, and chose to star in Detroit, a film about another historic episode of police brutality and murder.

    It makes it all the deeper shame that the new Star Wars film relegated him to playing the role of the goofy janitor.

    If he adds even MORE time to that tedious final lightsaber fight, can we start a petition for him not to release it?
    He was a janitor in TRoS? Guess I’d better watch it again. Clearly have a poor memory of it.
