I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say

John Boyega and Lucasfilm’s racism and lies

When all know how the companies loved to use Black Lives Matter to help their PR, or at least they did when they could still monetize it. 

One of the companies that did that had been Lucasfilm who did that by supporting John Boyega when he had gone out to protest back in June of 2020.

The funny thing is, and by funny I mean bull shit, Lucasfilm has never shown support for John Boyega through the years as he’s faced years of racism from both the Star Wars Community and from folks within their own company.

In fact, even during the push to boycott John’s casting, Lucasfilm had never said a word in support of John Boyega.

They showed zero support for the STAR of their own new trilogy, yet were sure to put his face eveywhere in the marketing

And this got me thinking how much they had used John Boyega’s Finn in the marketing of the film “The Force Awakens” to advertise a Black Jedi, and how even the film had set it up, and yet John Boyega had this to stay in regards to how The Last Jedi treated him and his character.

And through the years, many folks would defend Lucasfilm under the excuse that the story of Rey and Kylo was actually the main story, that Finn was just a red herring or that his story would take away from hers.

Well to all those people, get your clown shoes because Daisy Ridley just said “LOL NOP!” to all that.

So no, they never had Rey’s story nailed down. They never had Kylo’s story either. Think about that, in a story where Rey could have been anything and everything always had to be about Kylo, Finn was sidelined for no reason.

Oh, wait. I know the reason and I talked about it in this video in detail:

So I’m just wondering, if Lucasfilm stood with the Black community, why did they sideline Finn? If Lucasfilm actually stood with John Boyega, why did they not only show zero support for him until they could use it for PR? Lucasfilm never stood with the Black Community, it never stood with John Boyega, and they deserve all the backlash they’re getting for this fake woke trilogy.

Retweet this so everyone knows what they did, so they know how they lied, and if you stand with John Boyega

reblog to save a life, i didn’t know this

TLJ: rey’s parents were nobodies. she doesn’t descend from some ancient bloodline. her strength is not attributed to some (male) ancestor, it comes solely from herself.

TROS: *makes rey a palpatine*

me:

TLJ: rey’s parents were bad people who sold her. this is thematically important to her whole arc about finding her identity. in order to grow and mature as a character, she must let go of the idealised picture of her parents she has in her head and the harmonious infancy she never had. she wants her parents to be good, noble people, and by having them be bad nobodies, we force her to change and grow, to create her own place in the universe/her own identity. 

TROS: actually rey’s parents were G O O D  P E O P L E who sold her to ~protect~ her uwu

me:

TLJ: we killed snoke to make room for the actually interesting conflict, the one between the conflicted supreme leader kylo ren and the resistance, his mother and rey.

TROS: *brings back palpatine*

me:

TLJ: the jedi failed. they were arrogant and stuck in their ways. they were so terrified of the dark side that they turned a blind eye to the darkness rising with palpatine. they deal in absolutes. it is time to let this flawed order die. we must learn from our past mistakes. failure is the greatest teacher.

TROS: rey is a jedi now

me:

TLJ: rey and kylo have a complicated relationship. they are beyond physically fighting each other, they now have to figure out their emotional conflict on how they are going to navigate their force bond connection and ambiguous feelings as supreme leader and resistance fighter. 

TROS: *more lightsaber fight nonsense*

me:

TLJ: rose is a self-assured, determined character, an integral part of this story. she acts as moral authority to finn, helps him find his purpose in the resistance and embodies hope, resilience and fighting for the right cause.

TROS: *1:16 minutes of screen time*

me:

TLJ: rose and finn share a kiss

TROS: …y'all hear sumn?

me:

me @ disney, jj abrams, chris terrio or whoever is responsible for this mess:

any white at a protest who tries to go against police and deliberately provoke a response from them is not to be trusted and does not have the safety of black and brown people in mind.
