But am confused, how did he get the force, because if you think about it the last Jedi(s) alive was Luke Skywalker and Sith lords (Darth vader and Palpatine) who both died in the Return of the Jedi, I can understand if the offsprings of Leia were Jedi(s) but am not sure how or where he got his own force from, it would be a nice twist if Kyle Loren was actually Luke Skywalker now turned to the Dark side like his father.

Anyway sha i await the movie

I agree however not many blacks but unfortunately have to know the star wars verse is full of many species not even human

Lando n windu are black

Boyega is acting as a black stormtrooper which is weird as were supposed to be clones of jango fett

I thought so too, am assuming the Galatical Empire ran out of funds after losing the Death Star and Darth vader and decided to employ more people, and of course affirmative action. grin

The force has always been strong in Nigerians. Our midiclorian count is second to non. Though, the dark side of the Force clouds everything. So far, bad leaders have used the dark side of the force to cloud everything.

What a shame.

African Americans once complained that Josh Lucas doesn't use blacks for his movies (despite having a black wife). That must have prompted him to cast the guy.
Em I believe Lando Claristan, Captain Panaka and Mace Windu are all blacks.

LOL. Anybody can get the Force, as long as the person has midichlorian in their blood, then, the Force is bound to be with the person.

Actually that's quite true, depending on the midichlorian , I remember it was mentioned in the pre-sequels when Qui gon ji was taking anakin's blood, so the Force are drawn to certain people not like it's hereditary, now that makes sense.

No the Force isn't drawn to certain people and of course it is hereditary. If one possess midichlorian, then ones offspring will possess it also.

Midichlorian resides in all living being. However, one need to be train in the ways of the Force for one to be able to use the Force. Remember, its not just Jedi and sith who know how to use the Force, there are others too who are skilled in the use of the Force.
