Black storm troopers matter?

Rating: 8/10 (18 December 2015)

The special effects were great. New r2d2 android is very nice. The one thing I will say is there was too much "look at me .. look at me" the token black storm trooper. I'm important. Can we have a black character without bending over backwards to make him/her seem important? I know you can't please everyone and it's just a movie. it just seemed like Too much awkwardly and unnaturally focusing on a fairly irrelevant character. Black storm troopers matter sure but what the bleep?? Affirmative action in the movies? Anyone else Notice that? Seemed so much on a irrelevant character to please black storm trooper fans. It takes away from the quality of the movie. But what else is new? When the token storm trooper doesn't get an academy award for best actor I expect to see Samuel Jackson throw a temper tantrum and storm the stage at the academy awards. Haha. Or better yet give him the academy award. He 'earned' it and surely 'deserves' it.
