The discussion is pertinent to the topic and there are other threads if you don't have anything to contribute or don't find reading what is being contributed to your interest.

Some of us come into this thread expecting a discussion on Star Wars stereotypes and instead find a discussion about Kahn.

Seeing as the film was directed by the director of the current film it is pertinent.

Drawing attention to the Trekness of that situation over the JJness of it only pads the thread.

If have something to say about stereotypes in Star Wars films I would be very keen to read it.

As I have already posted, from my perspective George overstepped the line he had been skirting near in the 1980s (possibly out of a desire to make an analogue of the travelogue serials of his childhood).

JJ had directed a film were the issue was less in the characters but more in the presentation and writing. Here one hopes a better class of writer will help but he did agree to direct the other thing.
