You know far more than I do (I didn't read the books but have seen all the movies several thousand times) but from the trailer, one of the main characters who is black is seen as a storm trooper taking off his helmet and being upset. (Unless you work for the movie, at the lot...) Nobody knows why he was in the Storm trooper uniform so everything is an assumption on the "clone", "not-a-clone" front. From what I gathered on twitter, they are seeing this (along with other movies and shows) increasing the diversity on screen and are upset because they believe caucasians are being pushed out of hollywood. They also believe that J.J. Abrams is anti-white.
Ok, so the stormtrooper thing. Clone troopers are clones. They were purchased by a Jedi for the republic. When Palpatine took over, there weren't many clone troopers left. We know from the early books (in our time, not Star Wars time) that stormtroopers are from the ranks of the citizens of the empire. At this point in time (I'm going off of the fact that Han is old), the only clones wandering around now would be far too old for combat (Look at Boba Fett, he was allowed to age normally and was made when they were made). I don't remember if the books ever deal with the clone part because that was such a recent development. They also allude to it when Luke says he wants to go to "the Academy" to train. Han was also training before he "got" Chewie. How else would the storm troopers be all different heights?
Man, this year has been so seriously dry. It's ridiculous. We were legitimately in a drought crisis a few months ago. Now's as good a time as any.
Come to LA instead. We have a drought too, but we also have 21+ couch theaters where instead of stadium seats, you get to sit on reserved-seating leather couches. And drink booze. With no kids around. Heaven.

We have this, too! And get it served to us! ;D Don't steal my friends!

Ooooh, we do not get the personal service to your seat! That is awesome!
I screen all calls. I hate talking on the phone, period. I don't pick up unless it's a call back from a doctor's office, a family member calling about something important, or something similar. I'm a firm believer that 95% of communication can be handled just as easily through text or email.
I do this too. It drives my SO nuts. I'm like "well, if it's important they'll leave a message and I can call them back."

But...but...I can do this at my house...AND be in my underwear.
I feel like that would be frowned upon at a theater...

It's never important.
YES YES YES. I'm with you. MH can't stand it either. Even if it's a survey or telemarketer, he wants to answer and talk to them. I don't get it.

I mean, it will be dark and people could be drunk. You might be able to pull it off.

This is why my dream house will have a theater room in the basement...

I am laughing at this considering I had an hour and 20 minute phone conversation with my mom last night. You know it has been a while since you've chatted when a phone call lasts that long.
