    Are you and the twitter kid both blind? Our righteous black hero is right there on the poster.

    I think the people calling racism are actually racist for claiming that you can't see him in the background of space.

    although you can't see it on that twitter post, at the bottom they doubled the amount of the White Stormtroopers

    larger versions for better comparison of All the changes (there were a bunch)

    U.S.

    [​IMG]

    China

    Lots of changes - they also removed Chewbacca, removed an alien, made BB8 bigger, turned the 2 rows of stormtroopers into entire armys of stormtroopers, and made the dog-fighting larger.

    The color balance looks better on the Chinese version.

    Poe Dameron was removed entirely, at least Finn still made the poster in China.

    Really, its Disney -- and not China -- that's responsible for the poster, isn't it?

    This is so dumb. Even magazines vary their covers for different regions of the US. Of course studios and distributors vary their posters internationally. Sheesh. What I see in this change is an obsession with machines. More fighters, more lasers, a much larger (stupid) robot.
