Boba Fett Is Not White
As is the apparent norm for inspiration for new posts for me — I stumbled upon something someone said on the internet. I say I stumbled upon, but I rather mean a tweet popped onto my tweetfeed. The tweet featured a picture of a man in Mandalorian armour, which obviously attracted my attention. Then I saw the face also in the picture. Then I read the text.
I won’t quote directly, because 1. I’ve lost the tweet completely and 2. I don’t want to give it attention. But the gist of it was “rooting for Cumberbatch for Boba Fett!”
okay instead of sleeping, like i was going to, i wrote an actual blog post on the subject. good night

One of the reasons I love the Fetts and Clone so much is because I’m Pacific Islander as well and dang, son, if that’s not the coolest thing for a very rarely (and accurately) portrayed demographic, then I don’t know what is.
In a hastily convened conference call with investors Tuesday afternoon, Robert A. Iger, Disney’s chief executive, said the company plans to release a seventh “Star Wars” feature film in 2015, with new films in the series coming every two or three years after that.
