Morrison is obviously a Maori. He looks Polynesian and has an Ozzie-Kiwi accent.

Caligastia, it's not whether I think that people will come out and join the Nazi party. It's whether I want to give money to someone who doesn't get that many of us find that sh*t offensive. I don't go to a movie to be insulted. There's a reason we don't have those characters in movies anymore.

I thought people were being oversensitive when they were complaining about Watto before, just cuz he had a big nose. But now that they've dressed him up like a NY Hassidic Jew, there's very little doubt in my mind what stereotype Lucas was going for, just like the idiot Step 'n' Fetch It character with the Black Carribean accent and the sinister Fu Manchu Trade Fed guys. At least he toned down the Trade Fed guys.

I found a small one with the hat, but you don't get the full effect as you can't see the beard or the little sideburns.

Here's a Picture of Watto:





Yeah, lotsa Jews look like that. Che, you'd do better to claim those goblins in Harry Potter are Jewish stereotypes. I've seen anti-semitic proganda before, and it most certainly doesn't look like Watto.

Sides, I always thought he had an Italian Accent.

(and the Trade Federation had French...I didn't pick up on the "Asian" accent until someone pointed it out...and I was living in SF at the time I saw TPM)

I think that you people are being a little oversensetive on this issue. If Lucas was going to have made Watto a Jewish stereotype, he would have been in finance instead of dealing in junk.

When I force myself to see "Phantom Meance to society" I thought he was a Italian, but if they do put on a hat and beard I can see the problem. It would not be the first time as you all know.

However, the real insult against the entire humanity is those appaling graphics. It doesn't look real!!! The old films looks ten times better. Technology is ruining everything and people with to much money can take the "easy" way out instead of focusing on the story.

Maybe we should have a warning on movies "Caution! May be percieved to contain negative stereotypes!".

Whoah. Okay, I really wasn't seeing it before, but now... yikes.

Wasn't Watto being targeted by Arab groups as an anti-Arab stereotype after TPM?
