The trailer of Star Wars scene 7- The Force Awakens was out during the weekend and there was truly a mix on social media in light of the fact that John Boyega, A Nigerian, is dark and acting the part of an Imperial Stormtooper (anecdotal fighters); a part that they say has just been played by white individuals.
The hashtag #blackstormtrooper was a drifting topic on Twitter during the weekend, prompting some individuals writing some bigot remarks.
John, who likewise acted in Half of a Yellow Sun as Chiwetel Ejiofor’s character’s houseboy, maturely taken care of the commentators in one post on instagram. Find what he said bellow.
All these angry fans are ignorant of the Star Wars canon. After the “Clone Wars” and Jango Fett’s death, the empire starts ramping down the cloning program since his DNA is no longer available. They do use some other clones, but eventually phase them out and send the last of them to the 501st under Darth Vader’s command. By the time we get to episode 4 (Star Wars) most troopers aren’t clones anymore and by the time this new trilogy starts with Boyega, the program is long done and any clones left would be old men.
