I'd tell you where to shove your alt-right bullshit but i don't want to get banned.
Meanwhile, I just wanted to read a genre movie thread where a woman is cast in a traditionally male role and it didn't result in fragile man tears and whining about the scourge of diversity, but such is life.
Alt right? What are you talking about?
if they had changed blade(my favorite vampire movie by the way)to a white guy I would be just as ticked off.
Lucas based the emperor on Nixon, used the Vietnam war as his inspiration for the idea of a rag tag army defeating a superior military force, explicitly told Terence Stamp that Chancellor Valorum was like Bill Clinton circa his impeachment and used the patriot act as his model for Palpatine’s power grab in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. But yeah, goddamn those new filmmakers for introducing politics into Star Wars.
So post a link of Lucas saying he got the idea for Star Wars from Vietnam and Nixon.As I remember he lifted the story from a kurosawa film. Even if he did he didn’t hit us over the head with a message like TLJ felt it needed to do.

Not in the same vein as saying “ Hey rich people are evil and abuse animals”. Where was the inspiration for that. Also he borrowed more from nazi Germany then anything else especially the uniforms. I don’t see Nixon in the emperor at all.
Lucas literally says he based him on Nixon. I mean, this is the actual guy who created the saga. But what would he know?
His probation "may" have ended in May 2018... or he could have mucked up. It's difficult to leave the state... Were they actually filming in Mexico? It's impossible to leave the country when you are on probation. (Google) Ed did violate probation, and served 6 months in jail, later in 2013, so he could be still on probation "now" becuase he's been working on the out side after 2013, so he's probably not in jail right now, maybe.
Does anyone really want to work with this guy?
What about Nick Stahl, or Thomas Dekker?
Meh.
He said it much later on in 1981. He was looking more to Hitler when he made the movies. Hitler exterminated jews palpatine exterminated Jedi. Still he didn’t hit us over the head with an actual message like Johnson felt he had to do.

I've taken the liberty of making a spoiler review thread. Go there, and post unmarked spoilers with your newfound freedom.
Lol, whatever
At least it wasn’t a obvious message that Rian felt a character in the film had to give to the audience. I felt like I was watching a message episode of saved by the bell. That whole casino business was absolutely idiotic.
You noticed the (clearly not rich) stable master beating the actual human child, right? Because I'm getting the sense Canto Bight might not have been on-the-nose enough.
So for me, it was
Temrinator 2
Terminator 1
Dark Fate -- It did a great job giving Sarah a logical arc, and shifting the future in ways, now looking back, make some sense. Also interesting how Arnold's Terminator did NOT need human reprogramming
Genesys - i thought it was inline with other reboots, like Star Trek. I thought Emilia Clarke made a great Sarah Connor, given the re-written history. Lots of problems, like Jai Courtney and what they did to John..but overall seemed to move things for a new generation.
I guess Rise of the Machine only second to last because they had some good call backs, especially Earl Boen's gues appearance, and set up the war with the machines.
Terminator Salvation i had last because it just felt overblown but not going anywhere... John COnnor getting a heart transplat seems dumb...i would actually prefer that he had John's face transplanted... could've been them studying how Terminators were made...also could easily explain the scars that JOhn had in the original movie. WOuld've been more logical. Did they even have John holding his mom's photo? That would've been nice for Sam's character to to have learned about.... oh, and no mention of John's girlfriend in T3?
By the way, where does Sarah Connor Chronicles fit into this?

It's a sequel to T1 and T2, and has no connection to the other film sequels.
Kate Brewster was played by Claire Danes in T3 and by Bryce Dallas Howard in Terminator Salvation. It’s obviously the same character. Both redheads named Kate.
At least Salvation build on T3. While Genisys has no connection with anything.

...except the first two movies, that is.
