Just had a scarey thought: Since Star Wars was taken over by Disney, are we going to see the three new sequels have some sort of gay or possibly gay characters in them? That would ruin Star Wars forever.

I wonder if WarriorX knows that Anthony Edwards, C-3PO's actor, is gay?
It's Anthony Daniels not Edwards
And werewolf wins the thread. *applauds*
Seriously, though. Who cares if there are gay characters? I'm not a huge SW fan but I'm guessing there probably already are some, and if there aren't, the world can probably survive their introduction, no?
"That would ruin Star Wars forever."
Not to worry. Judging by the wailing and gnashing of teeth that followed the prequels, I'd say that's already happened. Probably more than once, at that.
When is Disney known to put gay characters in movies, exactly?
And does "possibly gay" mean anyone who doesn't express any interest in the opposite sex? Because that's practically everyone in Star Wars, seeing as the movies are not about romance...
So, possibly gay characters are more "scarey" than extra-terrestrials, slimy monsters that eat humans? I think you need to get your priorities straight, dearie.
Star Wars already has a gay character: C3PO. Don't act like you didn't freaking know.
Not being a Star Wars fan, I can honestly say "Who cares?"
I'm guessing that most Star Wars fans probably wouldn't care too much even if there were a gay character in it. Since most sci fi is all about battling alien creatures and not romance, there's no real need for gay anything.
Wasn't there already a small fundy-uproar a few months ago whan some Star Wars MMPRG gave the player the opportunity to create a gay character?
Re: Prequels and special editions:
Why do you even care what the possible sexual orientation of fictional movie characters might be?
With the hope that I can "ruin" your movie viewing life, essentially every movie made has at least one homosexual actor in it. If not an actor, certainly homosexual production and technical staff memebers.

Oh, I dunno. Even before George Lucas essentially cashed in (creating his ultimate pension in this way), via the pre quels, he demonstrated how Jedi Knights - particularly Qui-Gon Jinn & his Padawn Obi-Wan Kenobi - who followed the philosophy of the Force, or going the diametric opposite of the Sith: fully embracing the Light Side (thus learning of how to achieve immortality via merging with the Force; impossible for Sith), showed unconditional love.
PROTIP: Anakin Skywalker. He loved Padme Amidala; to the extent of marrying her, and her becoming pregnant by him. Remember what ultimately happened to him .
And of course, not forgetting the original trilogy. A certain 'chemistry' between two certain characters. Those kisses in "A New Hope" and "Empire Strikes Back". The subject of Incest being broached...?
Frankly, what Disney might do, post -Lucas-signed takeover, is the least of your problems, pal.
I find your faith disturbing.
@cdcdrr .
You're thinking of Ian McKellen. Ian Paisley is a Northern Irish politician, who's also a massive fundy, and very, VERY anti-gay.
Yes, this is the thing that will ruin Star Wars forever. Not, say, this:

But rather homosexuality. Good god, what planet are you from, Tatooine?
Just had an even scarier thought. What if Rapture Ready were to be taken over by Disney? Would we see an abundance of star dust when the whooshfest is in full flow? Would the churning out of strawmen be tilted at by an endless parade of people in Mickey Mouse masks? Would we see even cuter emoticons? Perhaps they'll all be whooshed up to Heaven to dwell in sparkling mansions and they'll all live happily ever after, er...soon.
@The Anonymous:
I don't think Hutts can be gay. They have a kind of complicated biology, but the upshot is, any given Hutt is biologically male and female at different parts of its life. I really don't know who put so much thought into Hutt reproduction and anatomy, but I sincerely wish they hadn't...
Um, Han Solo was Wook-curious so quit while you're ahead.
Funny that siblings kissing is ok with you -very telling.
And the prequels ruined Star Wars.

"They have a kind of complicated biology"
As some are fond of doing (the popularity of "Star Wars vs. Star Trek" debates in forums/boards etc; i.e. 'Death Star vs. Borg Cube: who would win?*', that sort of thing), in the case of "ST:VOY", I'll see your Hutts and raise you Species 8472: they have [i]several[/i] genders.
*- And when these debates in particular get heated, I like to throw in an argumental spanner: '"Death Star vs. Borg Cube: who would win?" Answer: Shadowships. ' [/"Babylon 5"]. Kills the debate stone dead, just as surely as a Proton/Quantum Torpedo would. >:D
Star Wars was never much good, but at least the first three movies were funny, sometimes unintentionally. After that, it was all downhill, a slide into the bottomless depths of schlock.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
