Hollywood actually has a woman problem in that there's usually one per film as love interest doing fuck all, I don't know about race but Samuel L Jackson is old and Will Smith is shit now. Changing that isn't "SJW shit". I hope that Mad Max and Star Wars are signs of what we will get now moving forward, white men are like 35%-45% of the population depending on country so that's how many film leads we should expect.
"SJW Shit" would be nagging/bullying over minor or non existent things. Like the people nitpicking "omg no Asians in Star Wars!?" and austistically ticking all the diversity boxes. Or going "omg most action movies have male leads" when women tend not to watch those as much and instead see romantic comedies.

Like Chris pointed out, people don't even know what SJW means. It's like a 5 year old who learns a new swear word and just starts spamming it.
Can you imagine shows like Xena today? We used to like it because it was a fun show. If it was around today, you'd have people going "Omg, Hercules is stronger but they made Xena better. Fucking sjw rawr rabble!!!"
It is like the people that use the term "Mary Sue" to describe anyone who isn't a goth emo fuckwit who has a drug problem and a broken home.

I don't know if that's fair. Kylo Ren's hair was amazing, luxurious, bouncy, and never fettered by his helmet. His hair alone makes the movie passable.

You could be right and I may have just been trolled for almost three hours without even realizing it.

Which is why he lost the fight, he directed all of the "force" into keeping his hair looking that good.
Could everyone stop quoting etchazz please? The ignore feature doesn't work when he is quoted.

How will you get updates on the screenplays his friends wrote or how everything in life sucks?

He suddenly makes so much more sense. Literally 90% of the film industry people I know are the most jaded, pessimistic, cantankerous fucks imaginable. They got into the industry because the thought they would be directors and now they're grips. Him repeatedly shitting on this movie fits the mold perfectly

Nor was old star wars but this crap ? nothing original at all just like most of Hollywood, its all "SOMETHING reloaded". I actually prefer the prequels to this lame film. ( yes even with the horrid casting, acting and dialogue ).
If I were Emperor, everyone who claims that the prequels are better than TFA would be aggressively beaten. Everyone who complains about it because of SJW something or other would have a rusty railroad spike kicked up their urethra, and then would be aggressively beaten.

From my perspective the prequels were better than TFA but only because Lucas created something, a story that was the prequels. I love the way they look, the jedi council stuff and even the story of Anakin turning which was much better in the book. Yoda alone is worth some credibility.
That said, the acting and dialogue is fucking terrible outside of Ewan Mcgregor, Yoda, emperor. Hayden Christansen just sucked ass.
From my perspective TFA was not a creative or new story at all, it was Episode IV, with things that annoyed ppl removed. Well sure, if your version of new star wars is "same story, but without things that annoyed me" then sure, it makes sense ppl would love it.
But it is still a hollywood rehash of EP IV. I hope they take a new turn in 8.. if its like we realize that Ren and the chick are brother and sister, i am going to leave the fucking theater.

Nothing about the story in any Star Wars movie is creative or new. It is a retelling of millenniums old stories, but with Han Solo and blasters. At least until you get to the prequels, which are just whatever that is. Trade negotiations etc.
It does map closely to ANH, more closely than I would have liked. But it still advances the story.
