An epic story where Jedis are downtrodden and forgotten, then one newbie rises up to defeat the Evil Empire (This time he's black, folks!) In theaters December 16!
I have now seen starwars.
Warning ... incoming spoiler.
The film was good, but Disney had to go down the interracial relationship route. There isn't a single eligible white guy in the universe. Only a black guy is virtuous and loyal and would stand up to the empire and is worth the leading lady's attention. Fuck Disney. 
Because Po Dameron isn't a character.
There's like 1 black dude in the main cast, calm your shit.
He's there because he's black. And they gave him really PC values. Han Solo was edgy, cocky, had a lovable rogue personality about him.
This character is dreadful. Boring even. There isn't anything about him. He is just loyal and trustworthy and a good egg. He's not even a very good actor. It doesn't seem as though the leading lady would find anything remotely interesting in him. She just met him. He didn't do anything to pique her interest. There isn't any mystery to him. He's 2d and wooden. He hasn't any skills ... he can't talk his way out of anything like solo, he can't fly like a god like Po Dameron, he doesn't know the odds of anything like C3PO, he can't use the force like a jedi, he isn't a renowned trader like jabba, he isn't the best bounty hunter like Fett, he's a very ordinary storm trooper ... but for having PC qualities like loyalty and bravery ... things you'd expect any starwars rebellion hero to have anyway.
He's there because he's black. Abrams has written
He's a storm trooper
He switches sides
He's black ... I need one of those to keep the PC bigots off my back.
Oh, I'd better make him super virtuous then.
And that's it. That's the character. His defining characteristic is that he's black and therefore must be good.
If he starts chewing the face off Ridley in the next one, I might lose my lunch. No one needs to see that - its just neo-liberalism trying to dangle tabooism in our faces again.
