Negative Albino Portrayal In EpII?

There's an albino association?


For what?

 

Who knows.

Or cares.

 

Even though trivial, Lucas could have been smarter as to not name her condition with the word Albino in it. Even though I would have never have known anything about the very uninteresting character. So, is Dookus women sith in the cartoon this species as well?

Neobaggins, what in Qui-Gon's name are you talking about? He didn't name anything.

 

Good lord...those people need to crawl back into their underground caves where they came from. Funny though..their site doesn't mention "Cold Mountain", in which an evil albino *SPOILER*killed the main character**. Guess it wasn't high profile enough.

 

I'm trying to imagine George Lucas getting up one morning and saying HEY I KNOW! I've got this huge movie saga that reaches tens of millions of people around the world. I must use it to demean a minority.

I know! I'll use to take a few swipes at the evil, terrible percentage of the population who are ALBINO. Yeah, that's my agenda with Star Wars, using it to demean
pigment-challenged people. Mwaaaahahahha!

Lighten up George!

 

All this 'Albino' talk is making me nostalgic for Capt. Lou Albano and WWF in the '80s. I miss my childhood. *sigh*



Maybe AOTC was offensive to Albanos.

 

"I went looking for Mexicans to beat up, but I couldn't find any with New Zealand accents"


Hey, you too? I thought it was just me who couldn't find any : (

 

I always knew Lucas was a washed up has-been - he can't even get the accents right for the minorities he despises - get a grip, George!

 

Shortly after A New Hope was released, Lucas had the following to say (quoting from memory):

"People saw the film and complianed that it was sexist, that it demeaned women. And I thought, 'Wait a minute! Leia is a woman. She's a strong, independent character. What's the problem?' That movie got criticized for everything."

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

 

I'm offended by the treatment of invisible people. I didn't see a single one!

 

Ba dum crash. Will you be here all week? Should I tip my waiter?

There was an article on TF.N Main the other day and Carrie Fisher said that the OT was nailed with tons and tons of negative criticism, exactly like the PT now.

"All this 'Albino' talk is making me nostalgic for Capt. Lou Albano.."

*Dying laughing* Aw, man. That is sooo funny. I havnt laughed like that in awhile. Thanks!

Who ever sked me what I was talkin about, fuhgedabowdit. Weather Lucas made up an Albino condition or not the bottom line is still pointing toward the fact that there are low-life jerks who wish they could reap the joys of producing something with imagination that a large number of people love. These racist-movie enventors probably have stacks of garbage scripts theyve written and home movies with thier dogs dressed as aliens. Ya know, the ones who couldnt cut it if they had Narsil.

 

I came here to see who the "Albino" in question was. Obviously no one knows. This is no different than the outrage over Tem Morrison representing a Middle Easter Terrorist. [Roll_Eyes]

 

I though he was supposed to be Mexican?

 

As Roland alluded to, we have the exact same thread in the 3SA and we couldn't figure it out either.

 

Shouldn´t we get off our arses and mail the newspaper what we think of this? Hunderts of mails all asking WTH is wrong with the author.
Maybe this would get the media to stop bashing the prequels as if they do we spam them!!!!
We will scare them all off!

 

Jango doesn't hold a candle to Watto who simultaneously offended Jews, Arabs, and Italians. Then we have the Nimodians who offended Orientals by speaking with a Transylvanian accent. Finally, there's good ol' Jar Jar who with his eyes on stalks, long floppy ears, and scaley orange skin was an obvious parody of black folks.

What can you say, at least Lucas is an equal opportunity offender!

 

Its racist when STARWARS has characters with different accents. It would also be racist if it didnt. Its a catch 22.

 

Don't worry, Star Wars fans already scare the critics when they see us in costumes lined up months before a film's release. A letter to the editor won't scare them.

 

Then let's see what happens when I turn up on their doorstep in full Darth Vader regelia and inform them of their stupidity.

Hmm...as I stand there wearing a black plastic helmet and cloak...hmmm...

 

"Captain Lou Albano has long been dismayed by the film industry's tendency to portray him as a cartoonish evil-doer, most recently in films such as The Time Machine, Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones"

Davey Boy Smith was unavailable for comment.

 

You know, the ironic thing is that professional wrestling has always gone out of it's way to offend people. That's how they sell tickets.
