"you look around that room and you see the whitest fucking room in the history of time. It’s just unbelievably white. And I just thought, we’re casting this show and we have an opportunity to do anything we want, why not cast the show with actors of color?"

— JJ Abrams revealing how he chose actors for the color of their skin, not for who he thought were the best actors or actresses. These preferences flowed into gender as well.

Honestly it depends on the charisma. In the prequels the dialog writing was god awful but Ewan McGregor and Liam Neeson had good charisma so the movie was slightly improved in spite of the pitiful script.

You're not going to get the same charisma out of those diversity hires.

It's interesting to see what Disney really thinks of those actors based on how shopped their faces are in that promo photo

Boyega looks like he was just drawn in there they manipulated him so much. Smoothed out his skin, thinned the bridge of his nose (but not nostrils), lengthened his face, raised his cheekbones and shaved off roundness to make him appear more masculine. Moved his eyes closer together. Made his lips smaller

Daisy ridley had her eyes fixed, face lengthened, and her jaw reshaped. Nose thinned and lengthened. Basically everything is stretched.

Kelly Marie Tran isn't like super attractive anyway but they actually made her uglier by making her jaw more masculine and giving her a bad hairstyle for her face. They were shooting for ugly though for some strange reason, otherwise the chick who played her sister would've had her role

You can't act your way out of shitty writting and terrible story. It only allows for one less turd in a dung pile a mile high.

Exactly. The complaint is always focused on the diversity, so they can claim the high ground against the bigots. When it should just be about the good awful just terrible writing and acting... And self destructive nature of these SJW writers. Start wars is dead because they wanted to intentionally kill the franchise. Just like everything else.

Any time writers put more effort into choosing a diverse caste, they're probably going to suck at writing. Nothing to do with female characters being inherently bad, that's just the kind of writer they are.

Difference between writing a story and finding actors who fit that vision and checking off boxes to meet a quota

Or even spending more of your time writing a good plot than finding a way to make it more diverse.

I can't wait till they kill Poe off. Or any white people in movies or otherwise.

Why can't fans simply agree that bad, especially deliberately sabotaged, movies/episodes didn't happen? When my favorite series get ruined I discard it and wait for a fan-made alternative to come out or proceed as if nothing new was made.

I could even overlook a shitty cast if the movies didn't suck too. Fucking garbage. Makes me think the prequels weren't so bad by comparison.
