I wouldn't be against Dash to be re-introduced, if only because the Outrider is the best Corellian transport. Just forget about the rest of Shadows of the Empire. Captain Splendid posted:The Outrider still does though, if nothing else. I'm happy!

Trailers looks decent, but did we really need yet another Star Wars movie where the lead character is white?

Entropic posted:I don't know what that is and I'm glad I don't have to. All of the old Expanded Universe was rebranded as "Legends" when Disney established the Story Group and started its own canon. The only things that exist in both are the PT, the OT, and the Clone Wars cartoon. Everything else is either old/Legends or new/Canon.

There's nothing wrong with having female leads, as long as they're good and make sense in context (and that applies to male leads too, I'm not saying there should be a default one way or another). TFA was fine, and I'm sure if this is bad it won't be because they should have cast a man. That said, you don't have to squint too hard to see that there's probably a cynical element to that decision for the first two movies. Disney knows that the movies sell themselves to boys, it's the girls who are the unexploited market.

In addition, while Rey and Jyn/Jan/whatever are being put forward as "the" main characters, the human costars are predominantly male. They aren't pulling a Ghostbusters and going all-women-all-the-time.

Rey is a strong female, but not a strong character. Hopefully they will manage a strong female character this time around.

Serf posted:Trailer looked awesome, can't wait to see this movie. Really intrigued by Forest Whitaker's character, his lines were pretty interesting and his costume was very unorthodox. Bounty hunter, perhaps? I thought maybe he was one of those black-armored stormtroopers with his hat off.

Raxivace posted:Yeah but the two white people are the most important new characters in TFA, alongside Han being probably the third most significant character in the narrative. Oh I agree that the diversity isn't quite fully there yet. But steps have been made! Finn is billed and treated as the second most important new good guy.

Yeah; his attempts at intimidation are mixed, but the money's where he just loses control make him a dangerous force. No idea how he's going to react.
