I feel like RLM really overestimates how cynical Hollywood is

Yeah, although if it was any other criticism I'd say that being cynical by default is the correct position.

The only movie I've seen Forest Whitaker in was Battlefield Earth, so I don't think I have a very good perspective on his chops as an actor.

Well, he already pointed out his thoughts on TFA, I'm sure with Rogue One he's just expecting more of the same.

Rogue One is going to be a weird movie. I can't honestly say I'm the slightest bit excited for it.

He was in Catch.44, but I think he only took the role because they let him do silly voices the entire time

Not just any Death Star but the exact same Death Star we saw at the end of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith and also in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. The smallest and shittiest Death Star!

They just can't get enough of that Death Star.

Ghost Dog and The Last King of Scotland are great if you want to see Forest Whitaker be a great actor; he was also the only one in Battlefield Earth self aware of how stupid the movie was and decided to have fun with it

Empire Strikes Back had no death star and is the best film in the series by a mile. Hmmmmm wonder if there is any correlation?

Ah yes, the fresh new characters of "Hobbled, cynical black man," and "Blind, mystical, asian," those aren't tired stereotypes but are in fact progressive.

That's not what a trope is, a character can also have unique elements while being stereotyped.

As a liberal, I totally agree that the lead role, someone who grew up without a father to become a criminal, should have gone to a black man.

I'm a black man and would see nothing wrong with this if they handled it tastefully, but that would require more effort than putting minority cast members in stereotyped supporting roles while white people get all the character development.

I'm borderline looking forward to Rogue One because it looks to be its own movie rather than a by the numbers remake of starwars.
