No, but ascribing some nefarious intent to that is certainly circumstantial and

requires an inference that the storytellers wanted to make that particular point--i.e., reading between the lines.

If the rumors I've read are true it will make it worse

What rumors? If you reply tag for spoilers obviously.

SLC-Warrior

12/5/19 12:48pm

Seconded

That would have made TLJ better, that's for sure.

Sounds about right.

BlueVU

Oh man that sounds horrific

Those spoilers are disturbingly specific. Kind of like the leaks that came out

Will it redeem TLJ? Doubt it. I still think it could be pretty good

DieHarder

12/5/19 12:50pm

Is it going to be filled with leftist propaganda?

Gente_Boa

12/5/19 12:52pm

That's your takeaway from TLJ?

ebv

12/5/19 12:53pm

it was very progressive

bluelands

12/5/19 1:17pm

It was crap, but how was it progressive?

RE: It was crap, but how was it progressive?

bluelands

12/5/19 2:06pm

That doesn't really support the notion that it's "leftist"

ebv

12/5/19 2:18pm

I specifically said I am not defending those articles

bluelands

12/5/19 2:28pm

It had nothing to do with the gender of the characters.

ebv

12/5/19 2:41pm

You think it requires reading between the lines

bluelands

12/5/19 3:54pm

No, but ascribing some nefarious intent to that is certainly circumstantial and

ebv

12/5/19 4:26pm

Also, what you point out is just bad writing, not necessarily progressive.

ebv

12/5/19 2:26pm

Yes.

12/5/19 12:54pm

RE: Yes.

ebv

12/5/19 1:01pm

Yeah, how dare TLJ cast a woman as the main character AND a black man AND an Asian woman!

DieHarder

12/5/19 12:56pm

Agreed. The feminists had their time. Ready for a strong male lead again.

12/5/19 1:42pm

The problem is not just that TLJ is horrible, they dead ended the characters

Tygger

maybe in 15 years they will say...

No the SJWs and liberalism in general have ruined it.

mellomike

12/5/19 1:01pm

Having the protagonists be women and racial minorities is icky, or something.

vagabonder

12/5/19 1:06pm

the race of the characters has nothing to do with it, it is the leftist

Gente_Boa

12/5/19 1:11pm

Accusing others of being racist and misogynist with zero evidence is a jerk move

SandYFan

12/5/19 1:18pm

And yet lots of people whine about the female/minority casting. Hmmmmmm.

Bossk82

12/5/19 1:49pm

Yeah but not THIS person.

SandYFan

12/5/19 2:16pm

Who are these lots of people? This thread is the first time I've heard it.

Missing option: It will be OK, but TLJ was unforgiveable.

vagabonder

12/5/19 1:03pm

I reject the silly premise that it needs to be "redeemed."

Bossk82

12/5/19 1:51pm

I am sorry but TLJ was bad man. It is silly to say otherwise.
