I believe God is a man, but as for being white, I don’t believe that. He could be, but I don’t think so. Make no mistake, He is a divine human, not an alien (it says we are created in His image, which means He must have a human form) but as to His color, I assume it’s the same as Adam’s, whatever that was. I’m LDS though so I don’t speak for all Christians by any means.

Pretty sure that means God is Black, since all modern humans are descended from Africans.

Finn’s parentage isn’t plot important like Rey’s was (even the TLJ, her drive was to find out who her parents were.) It wasn’t set up the way the other mystery boxes were. If it’s plot relevant in IX that’d be amazing, but there wouldn’t be time to formulate new theories… unless JJ announced Finn’s parents were super important. Oh man, I’d love to see how Finn-sideliners would react if THAT ever happened. I don’t think it will happen that way though, which is disappointing.

Was Rey’s drive to find out who her parents were? Her drive was to reunite with them, first by waiting for them in TFA, then by trying to see them through the Force in TLJ. I never got the sense that who they were was particularly important until she came out with the incongruous “They were nobody.” When did she ever think they were somebody? It seemed more a reaction to fan speculation–and Kylo’s own elitist obsession–than Rey’s actual story, which made it jarring.

At this point I’m hoping no one’s parentage is a plot point anymore. Let Kyle Ron be the one Organa-Solo-Skywalker and let him be taken down by “nobodies.” I still hope Finn will get to reunite with his parents, though, not because they’re important to the plot but because it’s what he wants.

Do you think it’s possible that Finn was supposed to be THE protagonist and Rey was supposed to be the CO? I love her character in TFA to death don’t get me wrong, looking back at in TFA, Finn’s story just seemed to be more organic and original than Rey’s. Rey’s connection to Luke and Han felt genuine, but it just seemed like Finn worked better as THE protagonist and Rey as the co-protagonist. Especially considering that TLJ puts them both in character arcs that just repeat their last arcs 1/2

2/2 There’s nothing about Rey really in the early stages, but
Finn seemed like a mix of Han and Luke rolled up into a Stormtrooper.
What if Finn originally was set to be the protagonist, but KK or whoever
decided they wanted Rey instead? Maybe due to John’s casting? I can
honestly think Rey was meant to be related to Han or Luke, but watching
TFA again…I really don’t think she was meant to be THE protagonist and
things were changed. I’m not even sure if she was supposed to be FS in
TFA.

3/3 And it’s nothing against Daisy or Rey. I love them both, but
I just can’t help think Rey’s 2 film mystery arc would have been better
off in a co protagonist roll, so she didn’t have to hold both while
allowing to let Finn the urgency he lost near the end of TFA. I think
they’re both equals, but I can’t help feel Finn was brought down
unnecessarily.

I’ve been arguing for a while that Rey is not the protagonist of TFA and possibly not even a protagonist (link). I’m not the only person who’s commented that Finn’s arc is stronger and more integrated with the story in TFA and Rey’s seems more of an afterthought. And then we see Finn used as bait at the end and Rey having more of a protagonist’s arc in TLJ alongside Kylo Ren’s villain’s journey, while Finn gets a weak and tacked-on C plot.

Honestly it makes me sick and I sometimes wonder if I’m kidding myself that JJ is going to turn this around. We talk about TLJ as the anomaly but arguably Finn’s demotion began earlier when he started with a strong arc in TFA only to have it become, abruptly and jarringly, the Rey Show at the end.

I’m messing around with relationships a bit more to make my medieval story different from the unwritten fic I’m basing it on. Jango and Hondo are friends because he saved his life. That’s also how he’s friends with Zam. Zam was Hondo’s partner and after Jango saved them she started doing some work with Jango until she became his partner instead. Hondo likes to joke that Jango stole his girl.

Aww, that’s cute!

I’m agnostic and i believe that if God really existed, he wouldn’t be a cis man. I use he/his pronouns bc french makes it the “neutral” gender pronoun (it’s the patriarchy). Idc what gender ppl sees him as, as long as it’s not “God MUST be a white man”. In that case, i tell them God is a black woman to piss them off. It’s the fact ppl say that God MUST be a cis man and that there is no other valid interpretation that bothers me. Not the fact ppl sees God as a cis man.

Yeah it’s the fact that people not only see white cis male as the default of humanity that’s irks me. To visualize God that way out of inertia is one thing, but to aggressively defend it is quite another.

Oh, haha, my goodness! The golden statues is in reference to the Emmys. I was saying anon was nitpicking about the pronoun one person used to refer to God when the whole event is worse on a humanitarian basis. I mean, they had the gall to tell the people watching the broadcast to donate to victims of Hurricane Florence, and then proceeded to enjoy their 40 million dollar self-promotion. (Moth)

OIC so not religious corruption per se! The artists who were celebrated that night are talented and worthy of support of course, but the whole system was built on mutual backslapping and self-congratulatory bs that many creators have to play along with. To think calling God “her” was the most offensive part of that post…lol.
