The extended trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released Monday. So everyone is super happy and excited and happy, right? RIGHT? -

Nope. Because that’s not what the internet is about. Instead, people took to Twitter, trending the hashtag #BoycottStarWarsVII. Apparently, based on the trailer that runs 2:35 in length, people decided this new installment is going to be too racist. -

Remember when things were simple? When in a galaxy far far away, two white guys could spend some time together blowing up an entire space station? -

Now when that same galaxy also far far away comes into peril, some people are not happy that have to watch a black man team up with a vaguely ethnic, apparently Guatemalan-American, to save it. -

It doesn’t stop there. The other lead in the film is this beautiful white woman. The people who plan to boycott this movie must be wondering if white males EVER catch a break. Surely, there’s a main character in this film that’s white. -

There is! It’s Kylo Ren played by Adam Driver. I mean, yes, you never see his face because it’s covered by this black mask the entire time, but maybe it’s a start. -

Or maybe we’ll just never see a Star Wars like this again.
