Star Wars: The Force Awakens (12/18/15)

Keep SW gay free is all i got to say. Got no problem with a black character (jesus who would?) Got no real problem with gay folks, it would just be forced is all.

This make everyone gay **** when just a very small percentage of the population is gay (1%) and the transgender agenda (0.3 % of the population) Is very overt by the powers that be, and if it infiltrates SW i will be turned off and taken out of the story.

I have no problem with racially mixed couples, if I did, I guess I wouldn't have these 2 incredible daughters.

All I want for my girls is for them to be happy and fulfilled in life, if the guy that they choose is black or any other race for that matter, I couldn't care less, as long as he treats my daughter like gold and makes her happy.

^This.

I got a chuckle out of this. A meme based on the theory that Rey is Obi-Wan's granddaughter:

Last opinion poll data I saw had the U.S. LGBT percentages at around 4% (about 1/25), and of course, that's likely to be under-reporting due to social stigma and folks who haven't accepted their true sexual orientation. With the dozens of characters we've had in Star Wars, it's actually unrealistic not to have seen an explicit gay character, given the statistics.

I see gay people all the time, and have worked (and still work) closely with a number of them--my major professor, two of my former bosses, a person I work closely with now on a project. Would be realistic and would not take me out of the story at all to see this in the film.

Hayden Christensen and all the prequel Jedi have put the SW saga as a whole WAY above the 4%. We don't need any new gay characters for a good long while.

I thought C-3PO covered that demographic?

What if it ended up being Luke Skywalker?

IT just too much of a Hot Button issues.....Sci Fi does address social issues....I am just not sure I am ready for my favorite space opera to get that serious. Let just keep it good versus Evil and leave it at that...

Now put in an Alien chest buster.

I don’t want Fin and Rey to become a couple because it’s dumb and predictable and not needed.

Back to the movie..

I feel the same. We have Star Trek for this stuff.

Wouldn't be that out of character IMO. He only kissed one chick and, well. . .

He was definitely perving on her though, all too eager to put down Han's hopes with her.

 

[DiFabio]

And he had sex with that red haired Jedi woman who was like, the Emperor's hand or something.

"The story of a boy, another boy, and a galaxy..." just doesn't have the same ring to it.

All these years of people using gay slurs to describe Luke and now they're terrified he's going to call their bluff.
