Re: Oh Dog, here we go again...
Apples and oranges. The NEW Star Wars is a NEW story. Clearly, many people take issue with protags/Heros in 'existing' stories. Simply swapping race or sex arbitrarily -- if your TRULY open-minded -- could also be seen as crass commercialism. Want a new black hero? Why not write a NEW story for a new black hero. It boggles the mind how we have to change existing stories and traditions to not be seen as racist while totally ignoring the obvious -- creating a new black, Hispanic, Asian, etc. hero. We're writers aren't we? WTF?! Why aren't we REALLY creating something new? BTW, I'd go see a black bond, but lack of creativity seems to be the real issue in all this hyperbole.
P.S. Nobody really gives a sh!t what storm troopers look like under the mask. They're STORM TROOPERS.
