I don’t watch much TV, but keep hearing that almost all sitcoms have the token homosexual character.
Are we saying that the small minority of “LGBT” types need to be represented in every situation, every TV show, every movie? What are we saying?
And what of the box office? For example, have there been any major homosexual themed movies since Brokeback Mountain? That movie didn’t do well enough to inspire the creation of other homosexual themed movies.
“ag hags”
They can be “friends” with men and exgage in sexy banter but put them on a shelf with the command “look but don’t touch”.
And remember. Luke Skywalker and Chewbacca were illegal alien “refugees”.
SOLO was the last good Star Wars movie. I’ve heard it described as a “heist” movie but it felt more like a Western in space. I give it a slight edge over Rogue One.
Wasn’t 1980s Flash Gordon gayer than Star Wars?
I mean Queen did the soundtrack and in one of the songs of the era (Bicycle Race) Freddie Mercury sang “I don’t like Star Wars”
>>Seriously, lets take a billion dollar franchise, beloved for 40 years, and insert something to OFFEND the majority and court a tiny minority?
This is why we can’t have nice things
Make Episode IX all gay, all trans, all women, all creepy animated characters like Polar Express all based on Hillary Clinton, or CGI the original cast with the voices of the Chipmunks, it doesn’t matter because after Episodes 1, 2, and 3, and finished off by Episode VIII, you’ve made me, an original Star Wars fan from June 1977, into an Episode Never Again.
Kathleen Kennedy is just dumb enough to do this, too.
>>And what of the box office? For example, have there been any major homosexual themed movies since Brokeback Mountain?
There was the one at the Oscars about the summer man-boy-love affair which needed digital editing to remove the dude’s ballsack from hanging out of his short shorts.
I thought r2 d2 was gay?
Use the KY jelly Luke.
Perhaps there are no gays in Star Wars for the same reason there were no Muslims in Star Trek. Maybe they don’t exist in the future. Well, I guess Star Wars is technically supposed to be in the past...
essentially what they are saying is “God, we’re sick and tired of being a blessed nation, and we wish now to slide off into an immoral chasm where we can’t see Your face any longer- so we’re going to petition, beg, movie companies to glorify immorality and abominations”
Nah. Artoo was never gay. Kenny Baker however was notorious for smoking weed during breaks while still inside the Artoo shell. Reefer smoke would be pouring out of Artoo’s vents.
It's got to stop.
What do you think Luke and Leia (and Han and Chewy) were up to behind the scenes?
I have genuinely never understood why people would be interested in a character being gay, black, Asian, hermaphrodite, whatever. Very peculiar to be honest. It’s a fictional character.
Kennedy works for GL not for Disney.
Sophisticated villains often were, back in the old days, at least by implication.
