Topic	John Boyega speaks on harrassment of star wars actors
yutterh 06/12/18 8:24:02 PM #15:	Zeus posted... adjl posted... He's not wrong. Harassing actors for playing the roles given to them is just being an impotent dick for no reason. You know that they choose to take roles, right? Directors, producers, etc, don't just grab somebody off the street and pressgang them into acting. Likewise, actors can have some input on the script, lest we forget how Harrison Ford infamously cut out a whole fight scene from Raiders. Even then, only certain actors are really given a script. Most of the time it is the agents that give them the parts. She was a huge star wars fan and she dreamt of being in star wars. There was no way she could have known, the movie would have given her this bad of publicity. There is jsut simply no reason for anyone to attack her period. I hate TLJ with a passion, disliked her character after the first showing, but I will defend her against shit like this because it is ridiculous to blame her for any of this movie. If the movie had a better director who wasn't given creative control, her role could have been much bigger. You would have to be an idiot to turn down a gig for a highly acclaimed movie. Hell no one went into that movie expecting it to be as bad as it was. No one, yeah TFA had some mary sue issues and not being creative, but it set the stage up well for the next movies and a lot of people were excited. Rian Johnsons and Kathleen Kennedy destroyed any hope for a good sequel. --- i7-5820K 3.3GHz, Asus X99-DELUXE, Corsair H110i GTX, 850 EVO 1TB, EVGA GTX 970 4GB FTW ACX2.0, Corsair 760T, EVGA 850W, Orion Spark, Proteus Core, Benq BL3200PT <cite>yutterh posted [p:903116908] in John Boyeg...
