The fake Star Wars trailer on Stephen Colbert was a decent idea but I think it misses the mark in some ways. Notably, it does virtually nothing to address the harassment that John Boyega has faced since he was cast 3 years ago. The closest they come to it is throwing out an obligatory #BlackLivesMatter sign next to some porgs. This while completely ignoring the existence of Finn by having him completely absent from the trailer. How does this even make sense?
I hate to say it but appears that they’re practically going out of their way to ignore the racial components of all of the harassment that’s been levelled.
