Baze and Chirrut maybe?

Yeah…kind of. I read an article suggesting that, though I don’t really buy it. It was more about thejediknighthusezni’s homophobia.

Yeah, I don’t think they’re gay either, but if anyone was, it would probably be them.

They seemed pretty gay to me

I forget everybody’s name in that movie because I fell asleep (Not because of the movie I shouldn’t have went after work) but is that the blind guy and his friend? Not that I would care if they were but I never thought they were gay, just close/bonded.

Why do we suddenly have to confirm every character’s sexual orientation these days? Two dudes can’t be friends now without being gay? Is this grade school?
Whoooooo caaaaaaaaares.

This is hardly a new phenomenon. There was so much Kirk/Spock slash fanfiction around in 70’s fanzines, that Gene Roddenberry felt he had to address it in the TMP novelization.

Why can’t two guys be friends who are also more than friends? Like I said they seemed pretty gay to me, but I thought it was cool the didn’t bash you over the head with it.
Though I will say I bet gay people care a bit, considering there haven’t been any (confirmed, I mean seriously Threepio) in a SW movie yet.

Sure they can, but they came across as nothing more brotherly fellows to me. But I guess that’s “pretty gay”?
I’m sure you’re joking about Threepio considering he’s a droid but I mean in my experience, you can’t really distill “what makes someone homosexual” down to their mannerisms.
My complaint is just why is there so much emphasis on it when it’s not something that affects the characters at all? Maybe Jyn was a lesbian? Maybe Cassian was gay? Maybe Tarkin is gay? Maybe Galen was in the closet and the death of his wife allowed him to finally live his life as a gay man? Maybe all the dudes who care about each other in other war films are all gay? Does it matter? It’s not like heterosexual is the default state (we don’t need to confirm that Han Solo is straight, and shit, maybe he isn’t!), so the distinction is unimportant unless it plays a part in the story.

It was mostly due to how they acted during
their death scene, especially Baze staring at Chirrut longingly in his final moments. There was obviously a strong bond between them which to me felt spousal (especially stuff like Chirrut walking out on his own on Eadu and saying he won’t be alone because Baze will follow). Could easily be brotherly but homosexual I think is just as legitimate an interpretation and that’s how I took it.

More the fact he clearly is in love with R2 (but yes, a joke).

I don’t think there’s really that much emphasis on it. It’s more about considering the relationship between two characters, which I would say affects them. I don’t really care if Obi-Wan is gay, doesn’t affect who he is in Episodes II through VI, but it could change how I view his relationship with Qui-Gonn if I thought it was the case (note: don’t think it is, not enough evidence). Whether Han Solo is bisexual doesn’t really matter as the fact that he likes dudes doesn’t really apply at all, but certainly his love for Leia is something that informs their scenes together. Obviously that’s explicit and baked more into the story, but with small characters like Chirrut and Baze, to which we know less, it makes sense to speculate about what makes them tick. It’s the same thing with Kanan and Hera. We don’t know for sure, which is fine, but it seems very fair to speculate as it would totally change how we view their interactions.

Didn’t Obi-Wan have a sort-of love interest for a little while in TCW?

Yes he did. She was blonde and Mandalorian and wore silly headdresses.

That could be said about any female character in the Prequel era, really.

It’s a Wonderful Life
Film Score- 10/10
I feel awful that I have not seen such a treasured classic as this but after finishing this movie late into Christmas Eve, I must say that this was just INCREDIBLE! The movie had humor, heart and a protagonist who ya really cared for.
This film might just be one of the most uplifting movies I have ever seen. I will most definetly make this a required viewing of mine every Christmas Eve.

Except for the parts where Stewart’s character’s on the other side of the looking glass, I’ve never watched It’s a Wonderful Life. I should rectify that someday.

I hate “It’s A Wonderful Life”! The main guy was nothing more then a slave of guilt! People keep saying that our choices in life are what makes us who we are, and that we should never blame others for the situations we are in. But then comes this crap story and everyone says how we must be there to make other peoples lives better. I call shenanigans! 😉

Have any of you ever seen the 70’s tv movie remake with Marlo Thomas in the lead, and Orson Wells as Potter?
