John Boyega Calls Out Star Wars for Failing Black Heroes

John Boyega has once again spoken honestly about his experience in the Star Wars universe. In the Apple TV+ documentary Number One on the Call Sheet, he said Star Wars is “so white that a Black person existing in it was something.” His words reflect more than just his personal journey—they expose a long-standing discomfort within the franchise when it comes to Black characters in leading…

I am gonna do bullet points to highlight important things the article mentions.

•Talks about how Amandla Stenberg, lead of The Acolyte, addressed the hate she faced before the show even aired, calling it a “rampage of hyper-conservative bigotry.” In a show of support, Boyega commented on her Instagram post with a GIF of Han Solo, a symbolic gesture of solidarity during a painful moment.

• Mentions Moses Ingram faced similar racist abuse after her role in Obi-Wan Kenobi. Disney issued a statement defending her, but the damage was already done. Kelly Marie Tran was bullied so badly after The Last Jedi that she left social media altogether.

•Talks about The Acolyte: Despite solid performances and fresh storytelling, the series was canceled after just one season. Online, racist influencers celebrated its end, calling it a win against “wokeness.” YouTube videos mocked the cast. Elon Musk posted a cryptic message that many interpreted as support for the backlash. The hate was loud, coordinated, and encouraged by platforms that profit off outrage.

• Lastly it talks about the treatment of Boyega, Stenberg, Tran, and so many others shows that the industry still has far to go. Until major studios stand firmly behind their stars, the cycle of casting, backlash, and silence will continue. And fans like Boyega—who wanted to lead and inspire—will keep calling it out.

I wanted to point out that the entire documentary is well worth the watch, and it comes in two parts- Leading Black Men and Leading Black Women. The Leading Black Women is even more fascinating imo. You can watch the two part series on Apple + and I highly recommend it.

i did not have sk turning into a dictatorship in my 2025 bingo

small update

so the annulment was agreed upon by both parties unanimously (out of the 190 members present) in a record time of 18 seconds which i hope shows that even the ruling party knows this shit is unacceptable

and the opposition has drafted? submitted? an impeachment during korean daytime but now the ruling party is saying they're going to stay out of it + in order for the impeachment to pass they need at least 8 votes from the ruling party

so like...okay! you know he's an unstable nutjob but you're not going to actually back it up i guess

HAPPY PRESIDENTIAL ARREST DAY TO EVERYONE IN SOUTH KOREA

update: he still hasn't been convicted OR impeached

sending my korean mutuals ides of march energy

HAPPY IMPEACHMENT DAY TO EVERYONE IN SOUTH KOREA

I love speed runners

to those asking: welcome to restaurant%, where you help ganondorf rebuild his life as a humble restaurant owner by building a restaurant around him as fast as possible without getting murked

I saw this video the other day! If it’s not immediately obvious, the “booth” is made out of indestructible parts, and enclosing Ganon in them breaks his AI so he no longer attacks.

This is genuinely the best speedrun challenge I've ever seen. I will think of nothing else for weeks, probably.

how do you go on to drawing character interactions without them looking stiff or awkward?? whenever u draw characters like hugging and stuff they always feel so warm and natural n like they have weight!

FIRST THINGS FIRST: if you want characters to feel like they have weight, they gotta have balance.

The second thing is to use references!! Use a mirror or photos when you can, but I often use duckduckgo and just google stock images. I don't use pinterest, but I suppose that works. I find it way more helpful to look at lots of images of the same pose at all different angles than to try to reference one specific image.
