And the opposite would be good too. An app that points you to businesses like Hobby Lobby and Chick-fil-A.
The First Order/Empire might be a “White Supremist” organization but neither the Trump campaign or his upcoming administration are. Their analogy is ridiculous and meaningless.
I dumped Star Wars after the first one way back in the 70s. I don’t feel like I’ve missed a thing.
Personally, I thought “The Force Awakens” was a hot mess. So, not going to waste my $$ on “Rogue One”.
There’s an app called ‘second vote’ which scores businesses on how liberal they are. It’s meant to help conservative consumers not spend their money at liberal bastions like Starbucks and steer them to places like Chick-fil-A.
It rates businesses on a scale of 1-5 with 1 being the most liberal and 5 being the most conservative. 3.3 is considered neutral.
Whites comprise only 10% of the world population and they will not tolerate White Haters.
You losers, go find another victim group.
Another one I’ve never seen.
There was supposed to be all sorts of Bush-bashing in Revenge of the Sith, too. You had to be paying attention when you came across it, though.
It’s what Hollywood does. Anything to cajole you to buy a ticket or be outraged and spread word of the film that way.
Ebert savaged Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ for it’s “gruesome violence.” Never mind that that’s what happened and that other films he enjoyed were worse. He hated Kick Ass for having a little girl beat up bad guys in what was arguably a conservative-leaning movie. When “Hannah”(?) came out less than a year later with another little girl that beats up bad guys in a left-leaning movie, he weakly walked back his earlier reservations.
They’re hypocrites. As I said, they’ll say anything to pump you up or harsh your buzz in the name of selling tickets or publicity-blitzing for a film.
“Sometimes a Star Wars movie is just a Star Wars movie”
-Sigmund Freud.
“The evil Empire is a white supremacist, Trump-esque organization, while the Rebellion are all those scrappy college kids demanding a safe space from the president-elect.”
For decades I’ve been kind of cheering for the Empire. I’m just saying. . .
Trump is Thrawn. I’m just saying...
Only real Star Wars fans will get the reference.
I’m goin to see it because Donnie Yen gets a well deserved break into Hollywood... a real Chinese Martial Artist!!

The Phantom Menace killed it for me. Well, actually it just finished off what those bastard Ewoks started.
That's why I said that the Warner Brothers/DC Comics movie Wonder Woman may have to re-shoot a number of scenes because the script assumed that Hillary Clinton would be President at the time of the movie's release in summer 2017.
Bill Whittle did a piece on the Star Wars analogy and I agree with him. Perhaps the author intended otherwise, but the Empire represented big oppressive overpowering government or even the Soviet Union in the first movie, with its massive army about to invade Western Europe and nuclear first strike capability,
The rebels were clearly American stereotypes fighting against impossible odds. Even “the force” , IMHO, could be seen as spirituality in general and those who don’t “believe” are atheistic.
Even the timing is interesting; A New Hope came out at the height of the Cold War when we were at our weakest, and The Force Awakens came out,,, right before one of the most pivotal elections in American history.
And in the force awakens, the last scene is filmed on an island off the coast of Scotland, named for St Michael. I find that interesting. God works and speaks to us in mysterious ways.
If I decide to see it, I’ll wait for it to come out on DVD and stream it for free. Really give those overpaid Hollywood libs a good screwing.
I'm going to see Rogue One because all 7 Star Warses were fun.
I can see through a political "message" and disregard it.
This has been a fan theory for decades, but doesn't really hold up in the movies themselves. That being said , the "Nazi Party" scene in Force Awakens, complete with the red banners was ridiculous.
Star Wars “jumped the shark” when they cast Natalie Portman in a couple of them.
Lucas ripped from “the hero’s journey” and from “princess of mars” by edgar rice burroughs.
It was basically axis power vs the alies with a hero.
since then it is all following the “save the cat” screen writing.
