the first trailer has been released!
true confession - i'm kind of a geek, always loved star wars and it gave me a bit of a lady boner.
anyone who knows the franchise is probably familiar with the character wedge antilles.
Good point, Morpheus - the ewoks defeating imperial stormtroopers using primitive weapons ruined ROTJ for me.
I also think that in places, the scripts from all 6 movies sucked but for me the good points vastly outweigh the bad points in the franchise.
I thought the new trailer seemed pretty good.
after a thorough investigation and weighing of the evidence the grand jury has decided not to indict the officer.. the reaction so far seems as predicted - people refuse to accept that the result represents justice despite claims that is what they wanted.. there is now violence and vandalism, including gunshots.
let's hope the police contain the troublemakers.. .
BTW can't disadvantaged people - black or white - ignore negative imagery? I mean, they're capable of independent thought, right?

Ok thanks, Pacopoolio for answering my question.
BTW in stressing hard work I didn't have mindless drudgery or dead end jobs in mind. I meant people - black, white, rich, poor - should take school seriously and have in mind a career at whatever it is they enjoy. Then, work hard to better themselves and achieve something they can be proud of.

I'm a big star wars fan, too. Hope this will be better that episodes 1, 2 & 3.
when is the movie supposed to come out? - december 2015 according to some British newspapers.
Will it be a triology? - from what I remember, yes.
There are some new characters but older versions of Luke, Leia and Han will feature, played by the original actors.

Ruby - I suppose it would be pointless for me to ask you the question yet again as you seem determined to avoid giving me a y/n answer. Perhaps Pacopoolio might like to answer it as it was originally put to him/her.
So, what do you think the main problem is?

Ruby - I agree that those who have made it should show much more responsibility. This shouldn't be an excuse for disadvantaged people to sit on their backsides and wail 'woe is me!'
You responded to my question without directly answering it - any politician would be proud of your 'answer'

'I served my country for justice for everyone' - justice is a process not a result. People need to either launch an appeal if possible or be mature and come to terms with it. I don't remember white people rioting when OJ Simpson walked free.

In my post above adding responsibility would not have made a difference - but it would have made a helluva difference to MB, he would have avoided death.
Still to be answered: do you agree that during the time it takes for this great societal change to happen, responsibility, hard work and education must be stressed for disadvantaged black people (and disadvantaged people of any other colour) as a way for self-improvement?
Yes or no.

breakfast of champions - your last post is a good summary of the way this debate is panning out.
I can't help but remember a scene from The Simpsons. Homer and Marge are having problems with their sex life - Marge wants Homer to make more of an effort in the bedroom. Homer reals off a list of societal problems in the US and finishes with '... and as soon as all these problems are sorted, we'll have sex', thinking that he's given Marge an acceptable answer.

Stressing just hard work is not the answer - misrepresented. I said hard work and responsibility, and had education in mind but forgot to type this out.
One more time, do you agree that during the time it takes for this great societal change to happen, responsibility, hard work and education must be stressed for disadvantaged black people (and disadvantaged people of any other colour) as a way for self-improvement?
