        We were originally talking about this “Keanu is half Japanese. Tom Cruise as the Last Samurai though…” You got off track.

          Yes, Keanu is half Japanese, so him playing a half Japanese character in a movie makes sense. Tom Cruise being associated with the last Samurai of the shogun era makes no sense, this is Chewbacca, Chewbacca is a wookie, why would he hang out on the planet Endor with a bunch of ewoks? It makes no sense.

            I’m also baffled by your ewoks and wookie analogy, can’t Chewbacca come visit endor to hangout with the ewoks? And why doesn’t it make sense?

            So you’re saying is Americans shouldn’t have been in Japan at that time? I’m really struggling with you last samurai argument here. He’s a former American soldier hired to train japanese soldiers on modern warfare. He got captured and got close to his captor who happens to be the “last samurai”. I really don’t get how he doesn’t fit in the story the way Keanu playing a half Japanese half Caucasian because he is one.
