    Perhaps the article meant to say there was negative Albano portrayal in Episode II.

    Attack of the Clones can't cut a break. It going on two years old now, and they still dredge it up with some invented Albino character.

    Why just last week the movie industry blamed their less than staggering box office numbers on the fact that they didn't have big blockbusters like Spiderman and Star Wars Episode II to bring in revenue.

    And here I thought Entertainment Weekly and Access Hollywood told me that Episode II was a flop? :confused:

    Do you think 'The Coneheads' are offended by Ki Adi Mundi?

    Albino people are not white, they're a very light beige. Sly Moore is white/gray. Whoever started this whole "negative albino portrayal" crap is insane and just wants attention.

    Maybe so...maybe they meant 'negative' as in 'there isn't any'. They need to track down the rotund old wrestling manager and put him in some kind of Special Edition, post-haste. He'd be a dead ringer for Dex, with a couple extra fake arms.

    That one left you scratching your head too, did it?

    Well there aren't any Irish characters, and no-body's noticed THAT yet!

    So Lucas got away with one!

    Albinos?

    GL should have included Johnny and Edger Winter in the movie if he wanted to have albinos. Of course they would have red eyes due to the massive amounts of alcohol that they consume.

    Also albinos have poor vision... then again the Winter brother would "pour" themselves another one. ;)

    DarthMaul. Created in the high point of the wrestling craze. Looks like Kane or whoever the red and black face guy was. I would voice my opinion on the subject but I respect that alot of people enjoy wrestling so I wont.

    I thought it was established that the Albino in question was the pale ballhead girl at Palps side. Why are peopele still saying no one knows?

    Because not everyone's read the entire thread ;)

    EDIT: And another thing (as if the entire argument needs to be made to look any more ridiculous) What the hell's the problem with the Supreme Chancellor having an assistant that's an "albino"? To all intents and purposes (ie: the purely pedestrian view of SW) he's essentially a goodie at this point. She wasn't Sidious' assistant [rolls_eyes] Unless it turns out that she's Sifo Dyas ;)

    I really do hope that because of this article, Uncle George decides to intruduce a new villain called Darth Albinus, who wears white and goes around being a real **** to people using the justification: "well, I'm genetically bound to be an a**hole"
    Then and only then will they have something to moan about. [/rant]

    Go-Mer-Tonic, do you feel that Albinos (or lack of them) are dragging down the overall quality of the saga?

    Wouldn't a "negative albino" have a dark complexion and black hair?






    Maybe they're talking about Temura Morrison.

    Am I imagining things, or were there a couple of albino prostitutes in the Cantina in ANH? And they're complaining about an essentially invisible character that most of us couldn't even remember?

    If you mean the Tonnika sisters, they weren't albinos - they were goths ;)

    OMG! Remember Me, Myself and Irene? Was there some negative critism because of the light humour they made on the Albino character? His name was Whitey (or Casper).

    BUT WAIT!!! This movie isn´t even mentioned in the article. The author is a ******. As long as AOTC is still in the sight of bashing media people we have to accept it. Won´t stay there forever.

    I guess it's Sly Moore that's causing the problems:

    http://itsb.ucsf.edu/~vcr/Evil14Albin.html

    There's a link to 'Part two' of the discussion at the bottom of the page.

    I was born with a deficiency, in that I'm unable to grow antlers. You don't see me protesting every movie that portrays fellow antlerless people as villains or freaks. But we all have the antler deficiency, thus turning all of us freaks into 'normal' people. So why are the albinos up in arms about an individual from a species that has the same look as the rest of the population, which they consider to be normal?
    Technically, we don't know what the other inhabitants of her homeworld look like, but with a name like Moore, I wouldn't be surprised if she happened to be a shade darker than others.

    Hey...I'm sorry to hear that :(
    I'll make sure I cover up my antlers when you're around, so you don't feel bad.

    i really don't understand how AOTC discrimates albino's. Kaminoians are not even Human and have very little hair and dooku.... he's obviously in good health.

    edit:Sly Moore is Blue/Grey.

    I appreciate your consideration, Damon. I'm picturing a 10 gallon hat.
    I saw an old sci-fi movie on TV when I was about 6 or 7 and I remember it had me on the edge of my seat. Yesterday I did a Google search looking for it's title, but I had little to go on, so I found a great list of sci-fi movies on scifi-movies.com and jotted down all of the titles that seemed like a match, and then went to reel.com to get descriptions of each.
    I found it: Virgil W. Vogel's 1956 "The Mole People".
    It has a colony of subterranean Sumerian albinos and their half-mole, half-human slaves. It's only available on VHS, but I need to pick it up to see if it's as nail-biting today as it was back then. Anyone remember this movie?
