Why a white male lead?


Enough with the white saviors

You're right, they should retcon Han Solo (who has always been a white male) into a female transgender homosexual Muslim who also happens to be a midget, sorry, little person. I'm gonna go protest about this right now!

And still that would be wypipo. Shame on yourself, racist! oppressor! fascist! nazi!

You're on the right track, HorrorMetal. Still, of all the living things on Earth, our movies most of the time focus on humans as heroes. Where's the representation of other species. Word is, they are going to replace the Han actor with a CGI cricket (with all those characteristics that you listed. I just hope they don't do all the usual Muslim cricket stereotypes that we too often see in society these days).

"homosexual Muslim" ...... nice, then he can throw HIMSELF off a rooftop

Tessa Thompson shoulda got the role, oh well heres hoping she gets to play James Bond.

I hope this is some kind of joke.

Han Solo is a white man, deal with it.

I was pretty sure Darth Vader was Black ;)

reply

Sorry Darth Vader is white. David Prowse in the first 3 movies, Hayden Christiansen in Revenge of the Sith and then Spencer Wilding in Rogue One. James Earl Jones supplied the voice but there have always been white guys inside the armour.

reply

Yeah C3PO and Chewie are white too! Overkill!

reply

Even though Luke & Leia are white and probably not biracial? Hmmm ... interesting.

Correct, even though the OP is being sarcastic, your point will 100% be proven in the film.

You people are hilarious. When a movie comes out with a lead character that isn't a white male, you throw a tantrum. When a movie comes out where the lead IS a white male, you STILL throw a tantrum.

I wonder if you're able to find any joy in your lives at all.

Obviously it's not the same people wanting different things. There's 7.5 billion, with a b, people living on this earth, and my goodness every opinion unimaginable and imaginable abound.

reply

It is the same people. Their tone has changed to sarcasm, but it's still the same pissing and moaning about the same shit.

reply

You SJWs are so fucking clueless. The whole thread is mocking SJWs, except for you!

reply

Thank you for proving my point.

reply

No kidding.

reply

I know right. They totally skipped the part where Han had a sex change. No wonder people are boycotting this trash.

reply

Umm.... take a look at the past movie and the original trilogy. Han is white. I'm sure between Solo and Episode IV, he didn't change his ethnicity.

reply

I heard Idris Elba was rumored for it.
