Current Events > Is there a way to tell me why the new Star Wars is a SJW mess without spoilers?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm going to see it no matter what, but I don't understand how it can be a huge SJW thing. I'm sure it would be spoilers, and if it is don't answer, but if it's not. . .

neckbeards literally will say this about anything with women or brown people in prominent roles, pay it no mind

So just like Force?

I think the reason why I asked this question was because of Luke Skywalker, to be honest. I keep seeing that Mark is blasting the new Luke in the movie and then I hear all this SJW talk. So I thought like Luke was going to be a trans or something. Which would be fine, don't get me wrong, but a bit out of left field.

Mark Hamills gripes are pretty understandable because the character he plays is nothing like the one from the OT
---

Yeah nah it's just the usual "I'm not racist even though I hate black people" shit

That said you should keep Mark's criticisms in mind and go in with lowered expectations

Translation - it fits into a lot of SJW narratives so Ill just say this.

Ah yes that pesky sjw narrative about women and black people existing

Here's a tip for the future: if you ever read the word SJW in a person's argument about anything, you can immediately discount that argument. Doesn't matter what the argument is about, it's automatically void.

It had a heavy anti animal cruelty message for some reason
---

It's not SJW heavy

But that's the least of its problems

I'll see for myself, though

I actually just got back from seeing it a 2nd time.

tbh I really didn't find any of it to out of step with the series. I will say the movie doesn't feel like SW in the traditional sense, but on a 2nd viewing I think that has more to do with it on a technical level than on a story telling level.

Yeah, I have no idea what those videos are on about, but nothing about the movie was SJW to me.
