How many genders are there now?

It's quite a broad spectrum now, with cisgender being the correct term for "normal" perceived genders, genderqueer, gender fluid, neutral gender, non gender or ungendered, transgendered, and a very small percentage of people even identify as neither male nor female, but an alternative as yet to be identified third gender.

I just read the review, and the reviewer wasn't in any way saying that racial equality takes center stage over everything else. Granted, it's stupid to celebrate that kind of diversity as if it's new to the franchise (after all, the prequels most certainly had a diverse cast of characters). But stop making shit up. That review was NOT saying that racial equality in film takes center stage over anything else.

I know sarcasm doesn't always come across effectively in text form. It just seemed like a really odd comment in a professional movie review, as if such diversity is so rare in movies that it has to be celebrated at every opportunity. But now you can relax, all is right with the world again. Have a lovely day!

@n64dd: That's kind of nice. They have a few on eBay from the same seller, but they've been opened, with the UPC sticker torn off, and the manuals and demo discs removed, and the person is still charging between $150 and $250. Now that's ridiculous.

Yeah mine has never been opened and is pristine. It's probably going off to VGA after christmas and going to be properly archived.

Ohh so you're one of THOSE people.

@Maroxad: A few reviewers are calling it a remake of "A New Hope" for a new generation.

Most of the early reviews on Rotten Tomatoes are positive, giving it a score of 97% (which will probably drop a bit as time passes). My favorite is this excerpt from a "professional" reviewer:

"This mediatic circus has entertained me moderately, wishing the film would be a little shorter. What can I say? Not really my cup of tea."

Finally got around to watching Daredevil a few weeks ago and I was amazed how good it was. Always loved House of Cards. I watched a couple seasons of Orange is the New Black, which I liked, but haven't bothered with the third season at all.

An early New York times review mentioned that the fact that we see a black man, a Latino, and a white woman all holding lightsabers together makes it the most "utopian" movie of the year.
