Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Dec 15th, 2017)

Pretty sure in the opening First Order scenes of TLJ you see a woman and an asian dude in their ranks. Don't think the first order is meant to represent white supremacy. The Nazis were the models for both the Empire and the First Order in that they're supposed to be viewed as evil.

The Empire in OT were Nazis. The iconography is obvious and the fact that they were ALL white men, no women or "minorities" wasn't an accident.

Clearly the FO is a new version of the empire, and they're still influenced by the Nazi party, but for whatever reason, they got rid of the "white supremacy" theme.

Well they weren't they were just influenced by them. They speak with British accents and the rebellion only has one woman in ANH and everybody is also white.

Yep in ANH it was white men vs. white men (plus Leia.) All Imperials spoke with a British accent except one American (JEJ) and all Rebels spoke with an American accent except one British (Guinness.) Vader and Kenobi were on the wrong sides.

I said OT, not just ANH. By ROTJ, the rebels or "good" guys allies, included aliens, lando, and even the Ewoks. The empire in the OT never changed.

I'd say that they got a little more diverse, to the chagrin of Admiral Piett.

They weren't members of the empire. They were hire for a job, hence why they're not wearing empire uniforms.

It's not like Nazis didn't do the same.

 

[Khev]

Hitler hired Jewish bounty hunters?

Yeah, the disgust was evident in Piett.

The Axis powers.

Infant Wars gonna kill this movie or what?

I would assume so. TLJ has outgrossed "Civil War" but both films with "Avengers" in the title are still sitting at 1.4 and 1.5 billion. I'm guessing it will be more of the same with IW.

I'm glad the writer of Rogue One gets it.

 

[crows]

We can make fun of these guys and all, but they're 100% on point.

SW is cult, or a political party....that's true.

Jye comparing rey to trump was much more correct that he could ever imagine.

Much more than he could ever ever imagine.

IW should be the biggest Marvel Avengers film yet -- it's the beginning of the end of this saga/storyline. The end of the 10-year Master Plan.

 

[crows]

Ah, come on, no Sarah McClachlan?

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

IW should be the biggest Marvel Avengers film yet -- it's the beginning of the end of this saga/storyline. The end of the 10-year Master Plan.

I think it could make close to 1.4 or 1.5 bill, imo.

 

[loki2371]

IW "should" end up being the highest grossing Marvel movie to date. It has EVERYONE in it.... So fans of some movies, but not others will still see it. And lots of new additional fans have jumped on board since the 1st Avengers..... It'll be movie #19!! That's some crazy ****e..

And if it turns out as epic as it looks and sounds, who knows how successful it could be. And China loves them too, unlike SW.

Admiral Piett, like most imperials, don't like bounty hunters because they can't trust them. They never know if they're marked.

China loves the MCU? Hmm...if it can make 400 mill over there like the F&F movies, IW could make over 1.5 then.

edit

I saw the China numbers and there seems to be a decline.
