3PO powered down because you can't use something like "I gotta take a piss" to exit a droid out of a scene. He wasn't relevant to the message sequence. That was a Ben/Luke moment that needed to have zero distractions. Even R2 goes completely silent after the message ends.

I think this is partially what makes it seem so weird to me. Just have him sit there and shut up.
My original post was just an off the cuff observation. It wasn't intended for any real discussion. It doesn't even bother me that much, I just always thought it was slightly odd

I actually discussed this today. I was down at the Walt Disney Concert Hall this afternoon, and a trumpet player friend of mine that has played with John Williams was talking about how this was probably his last film that he's scoring. He's just getting to be too old. I agree that Hans Zimmer would be the ideal follow-up.

I love Danny Elfman, but man, that would be a bit odd. He's good with quirky movies. Although, his Batman soundtrack showed he could do something like Star Wars. I imagine whomever replaces Williams will just copy his style, which honestly, would be a simple task for any decent composer. Zimmer even did it for Terminator: Genisys.

Racial quotas on TV probably applies to movies
A 'Parks and Recreation' star's blunt description of how race works in Hollywood.
Not like it's nothing new, again i stand by black storm trooper decision, since he's a new character and as long as he's very talented and not some affirmative action, SJW, "where all da brothas at, in a galaxy far, far away", it's fine imo.
I mean we're America, so we're a melting pot of a lot of shit, is there an issue like this in more racial/ethnic centric places? Like do indians wanna see more white ppl in Bollywood or some shit?
I mean Jackie Chan has made strides, he suffered through 3 movies w/ Chris Tucker for Rush Hour and Jet li did all those Ghetto Fu movies in the 2000's.

Jesus Christ, 20 pages of this bullshit? Don't worry, FW and other closet racists, the whole movie is still being made by the Jews, so its all good.
On topic, I care less about the choice in skin color of the main actors and a lot more on making sure that this shit does not end up like the prequels. Tickets purchased for Saturday, but I am going to be damn skeptical going into this.

Yeah, well, Aziz is also the guy who made his money by turning the stereotype knobs up to 11 on that type of Indian guy. Joke is on him, though, because he basically is that asshole character IRL, which is why he is one of the least successful people to emerge from that show (few people want to work with him). And the show was set in the rural Midwest for fucks sakes. You hardly even see any Mexicans in that part of the country, because its too fucking cold for anyone but us honkeys.
People with tender vaginas need to stop fucking up the nerd discussions with this bullshit. (To the world in general, not just this thread). But if the trolls really wanted to get some entertainment, they should false flag a complaint about how there are not any trans friendly main characters in Star Wars. The raging would be hilarious.
