[FYI some Spoilers below]
I'm a longtime Star Wars fan, and a relatively new Pinball fan. I've never bought a NIB but might bust my cherry on a new Star Wars machine if announced and it's probably the only theme my wife might not fight me on.
I liked the movie, didn't love it. Was a bit too much [Spoiler] retread of the original 3 movies for me. I like the nostalgia, but it was pretty much the entire [Spoiler] original plot with new characters and slightly different locals.
But I didn't go in expecting to LOVE it and probably never will.
Regarding race, not to go all prequel [Blech] on you but wasn't the "Original" guy [Jango] that all the clones were based on not white? I'm not sure what ethnicity he was, but I'm super white [Polish/English] and he looked much more ethnic than me. At this point in the story, after having lost troops on both Death Stars, the bad guys should be scouring the galaxy for all sorts of troops. I know they have an issue with enlisting "aliens", but color shouldn't be an issue for them I wouldn't think.
I was more surprised they made such a big deal about having a [Spoiler] female trooper in the movie, but she never actually shows her face [Does she?] so that surprise/shock doesn't really take place like the Finn reveal. Wonder if we'll ever learn the reasons why he had issues and turned?
