Somebody commented on the viceroy having an oriental feel to him.. If memory serves, the director or somebody wanted to make a statement for Tibet or something, and that's why the bad guys all have a chinese accent. I also heard it's not a coincidence that "amidala" is almost an anagram for "dalai lama."IP: Logged |

if that's really the case, whoever is running the fucking movie machine that is the new SW franchise had better wake the fuck up and get their collective heads out of their asses. no one is going to all of a sudden realize "wait! chinese accent on bad guys is an allegorical artistic statement on tibet's plight! CHINA == BAD!! OMG!`!~!!!1!1!!"
if they wanted to make a point of it, there's no reason to be that subtle about it. either put a "dedicated to the struggling tibetan people" credit in a prominent place in the credits or make a point of mentioning it during publicity blitzkreigs. anargrams in character names and subtle accents in speech are so not the way to protest something.

i was wondering if i was the only one to notice that episode1 was extremely racist. i thought the trade fedearation guys were supposed to be japanese, just for the heck of being japanese. i'm hoping for some wacky ethiopean bad guys in the new movie, where they rape innocent villagers IP: Logged |

No, you're confusing French Canadians with actual French. The correct response should have been "oh great, they'll just spend the whole fucking movie ranting in broken english about how angry and black they are."IP: Logged |

No, real French would wait until the jedi leave the planet and the dmovie's over and then form a resistance movement against the jedi.That's my favorite anecdote about the French. They waited until Americans kicked the Nazi's out before forming a Resistance to the Nazi occupation. The first time I heard that (from an English teacher in HS) I had to ask him to repeat it cos I thought i'd heard him wrong. IP: Logged |

someone should put George Lucas away, since he has obviously been puffing way to much on a bong.then Peter Jackson (after he's finished with LOtR) should take the trilogy by timothy zahn
and make movies out of those. that would rock. maybe jeremy irons as grand admiral thrawn, hmm? IP: Logged |
