Certainly not. I have some issues with this thing. First of all -- Kylo Ren. I hate the mask. It's not elegant. It's all messed up looking. It looks like a bad dollar store version of a Darth Vader mask.
I'll grant you this. I thought it looked like a plague mask.
Second -- having a female (Daisy is obviously the new Luke Skywalker, check out that poster) teaming up with a black guy -- quite frankly this just looks gimmicky. A move to appear progressive. I'm not trying to be sexist or racist, but this is yet again another female Mad Max/female Ghostbusters thing going on here.
I know you're not trying to be sexist or racist, but nonetheless you are once again managing to be both. The very assumption that white men should always and forever be the main characters in everything and that anything else is 'gimmicky' or 'politically correct' is ridiculous.
Good job there aren't any visible Asian characters or you'd be gonging the hell out of the thread.
Third -- the irritating lack of Luke Skywalker in the promotional materials, including what appears to be the final poster. I'm hoping that poster may change -- maybe this is a gimmick -- they won't show Luke Skywalker on anything UNTIL the movie has been released.
Yeah, this is a gimmick. Or a strategy, rather. I think it may well be that he doesn't turn up until later in the film. Keeping all the fans on the edge of their seats wondering if he will show up.
Fourth -- Carrie Fisher's ridiculous, hideous looks in the trailer, on the poster and in the leaked wardrobe fitting pictures.
Dear lord, here we go again. Obviously if women are allowed to be in films then they should at least have the decency to be young and attractive. Otherwise what is the point of them at all?
Fifth -- it feels too J.J. Abrams-ish to me. Yes, he's the director, but that doesn't mean we need to feel him all over it.
Better J. J. Abrams than Jar Jar Binks...
