Driver has done less for TLJ then Rose. Harrison Ford who is a rich legit movie star who hates promotion does more work then Driver on promoting Star Wars. Driver really doesn't carry his weight but KK and RJ love him and the fans will apologize for any “pretty white boy” so I guess it doesn't matter. Anyway saw the trailer I was right.

Yes all the marketing so far does suggest that the B-Plot is for POC and insignificant compared to the White Characters and the Force A-Plot. But KK is a Saint and a Champion of Diversity….SMFH. They love Kylo so much then make Driver get his lazy ass out there and promote Star Wars half as much as Boyega does.
I actually saw some Reylo saying that Driver had the “same deal” as Harrison Ford re: promotion. I’m sorry, Harrison was on every ABC show except The Chew (which he should have been on) and every other talk show going not only for the movie but for the damn DVD release. “Same deal”? Not so much.
John Boyega has been to EVERYTHING, been charming and funny - and his reward is that poster? 2 seconds in the trailer?
True though I argue the main example of him being a racist is him doing everything possible to keep John Stewart down. Geoff strikes me as fine with POC characters as long as they stay in their place and don't challenge the white lead for dominance, popularity, etc...if they do well got to be destroyed.
Cass once vowed to and attempted to kill Deathstroke. She met Damien before her 52 reboot and looked after him and even saved him. Funny Cass has always believed people could change even people who killed or did terrible things. She fought them but never hated them. She had a sister who killed that she didn't hate. Maybe Cass fans should learn to be more like her and accept that she isn't filled with the hate they think she is.
As long as Jason doesn't change.
He's tried, and failed, several times already.
Which is why there is conflict inherent in their interactions.
It's not hate, true.
But it's sure as hell isn't tolerance or something she'd let slide.
Nor is it something she'd abide.
She'd work to stop them, convince them to stop.
So, as long as that's the status quo, it is logical for her to dunk on him pretty hard.
Continuously.
Eh I have read before that Oscar really doesnt like promoting movies he doesnt have a major role in so I hope most of his stuff didnt end up on the cutting room floor although he is also a pretty busy actor...but my mind of late when it comes to TLJ jumps to the negative answer
JJ is the lesser of two evils that is all it is. Although I should note the coma was RJ request so that is not on JJ but of course JJ had plenty of issues all his own doing. However, at least JJ wasn't an apologist for Kylo. But yeah the only POC with any power seems to be Pablo Hidalgo incidentally he was also unlike KK and RJ not making every excuse under the sun for Kylo. Make of it what you will.
I don't understand why some fans think JJ Abrams will save Finn's arc when this man also made Finn be attacked during the entire movie, be a red herring and end the movie in a coma. The entire lucasfilm is guilty in this, they need more black artists to work in their movies or black characters will always be treat like this
the lesser of two evils. while JJ had many many flaws, he also gave us a great character in Finn and all those FS clues etc etc. rian doesnt even have one redeeming quality going for him. so when its rian vs. jj - of course everyone wants jj back. but ur point still stands. there needs to be more black people behind the camera.
This guy works for the Guardian. Its confirmed I am sorry no New Trilogy for Rian Johnson and Disney must clean house at LucasFilm, Kathleen K Kennedy must go. Any POC in a management position at LF should resign as well. Star Wars now an Alt-Right wet dream never did I expect such blatant sexism, racism and disregard for George Lucas Canon in my fucking life.
i have never known fear like this before in my life
Well you see that be in character and this movie was all about making Luke look bad so Kylo could look good. But that begs question what was the explanation for how Luke couldn't sense Han Dying or an entire Solar System disappearing while hiding in a Force Nexus?
To be honest, the minute Luke learned that Kylo Ren killed Han Solo, he should have geared up and trained Rey and gotten to the Resistance pronto. The minute.
Rian Johnson wants FinnRose and he did basically everything in his power to keep Finn and Rey from interacting. They dont even talk in this movie to each other at least they got a hug but you know that was probably improvised by the actors.
Rian wants finnrose but John’s giving us finn dealing w coming to terms w your sexuality and comp het feelings
I don't even understand why they do it. Books don’t trump the movies...the only way to fix this mess is to simply go full on elseworld where this sequel takes place outside the Prime Universe. They cant retcon the trilogy via a book. I mean they cant just say it was all a dream or some bs. And fixing the problems requires a whole lot of work.

Could there be a clearer indication of bad movie making? I need a compendium to understand it? Put it on the damn screen in the first place.
Brick Brain Johnson probably thinks it’s a sign of how endlessly deep his incredible unbelievable masterpiece is…
Pretty Much JJ is iffy honestly the biggest problems were Finn lacked in skills compared to Rey. Rey was overloaded She has the Force, She can fight (Finn should be better here) in Martial Arts, She can fly, she is mechanic and she is multilingual. Spread the love out I wanted them both to have the force so let him be a pilot or a mechanic. Beyond that problems are Poe naming (iffy), animal through (remove the animal), Rey/BB-8 tazing Finn (again Finn should win here), Rathars capture (delete all this), Chewie (remove), losing to TR-8R (no put Phasma here). But Finn basically drove the plot and was a clear lead so plus points for that.
RJ though just no Finn is treated with no respect from the jump because RJ didn't want to do payoff for Finn and wanted to suck Kylo’s Dick. He wakes up banging his head, running around leaking water like a fool and then getting tazed by Rose? This is how you treat a Hero of the Resistance? Really RJ? Then he goes on a worthless side plot where Rose takes the lead and treats him like a child? Where the fail essentially over a parking violation? Gets tased again and they trust DJ who is just waiting for them? The Phasma fight had nothing to it emotionally or physically. And the crait stuff...I didn't want him to die but even so Rose stopping him makes no sense and her lines so cringy considering her sister and Holdo.
seguun replied to your post: “The difference between JJ and RJ is the following: some of the things…”:
Eh I argue about JJ just making mistakes…the difference is more RJ double down hard even after the Finn stuff got criticism so he doesn’t get an excuse at all.
Yeah, JJ made mistakes…. RJ didn’t give a single fuck…
I am not surprised as far as I can tell RJ went Full EU in that he might be approaching the first Clone Wars Cartoon and StarKiller from Force Unleashed power levels. Basically, the POC are filler not just because their little side plot seems to have no major influence on the plot the First Order seems to win easily.
However, in choosing to dive so deep into Force Mythology and awesome Force powers, anyone without said powers is simply left in the dust. This is basically the EU towards the end with the exception of mostly Han with Boba Fett and Lando to a lesser extent who survived off being Legacy from the OT. Ergo because RJ decided to keep the Force White and couldn't be bothered to come up with a compelling side plot. Well its no wonder there is a few mentions of Finn, a couple more about Rose and none about Poe. Nothing they do is plot relevant and any action scenes they get are easily overshadowed but what sounds like God Level Force Users. Who wants to watch Finn vs Phasma in the B-Plot when it has no emotional resonance and doesn't even look as cool as the Force Fights? Even with a compelling side plot and no Force in something this Force Centric it would be hard but with a boring side plot, its impossible. B-Plot is there to move the plot forward and break up the Force Beats only. The Force Plot always tend to overshadow the non Force Plot. RJ seemingly did zilch to prevent it and probably didn't even care. Slapped Rose in for some diversity points, tossed Finn the bone of beating Phasma and probably gave Poe some nice space scenes. Called it a day.
Look, if people had come out of this movie saying Finn is amazing and mentioned the Finnrey reunion, and talked about the diversity, and made clear statements that Kylo remains the villain and about how kick ass feminist things are, I would be able to stomach Rey random. Not the way things seem now.
1 Token Black Guy (or any POC) and at least 2 White Dudes who look alike is CW Diversity. It can basically function as a meta commentary.
????????????????????????? i hate this post. also those two boys on the left are literally identical.
