I support Star Wars through the good and the bad, but not the greedy, the inept, and selfish. I'm ok with there being bad starwars as long as the intention is there to make a good MOVIE! I don't support the intention to milk the damn franchise dry.
Racists, bigots, and sexists were never allowed into the star wars fandom. They were always pushed out by the rest of us. The issue is that anyone that dislikes the shit that the disney puts out is now unfairly labeled as a racist, bigot, or sexist.
That is the reality check.
So... let me get this straight, in Disney Star Wars Canon. An evil sith turns a kyber crystal (which is white in R1) from blue to red, because they are evil...
Gonna say no.
1. it's stupid
2. Why didn't anakin's change color... oh right because thats not how it works.
As usual this misses the point. There is a major difference between in universe politics that mimics the way real life politics works. an pushing a political agenda.
why is this so hard to understand?!
@Jersey_Ja
I dont think you understand the criticism. Or the reaction to this. No one saw this and went "OMG! I Was wrong!"
But we did facepalm hard enough to cause damage.
Reminder: Very very very very few actual fans are racist or misogynist. The issue has always been with quality of the product. By lumping both groups together and then boiling it down ist-a-phobia you do only one thing.
Alienate your paying customers.
I’ll personally be maintaining the energy Ewan McGregor showed when bigots & fools were going after Moses Ingram. Whether it’s racism, misogyny, transphobia, or whatever else: If you engage in this behavior, “you’re no Star Wars fan in my mind.”
Are you forgetting Rey passed a lightsaber through the Force to Ben Solo and then he proceeded to slay the knights of ren while being so Han Solo my brain melted on the spot?!
I'm happy for this person i guess. but also sad. Growing up some of the most inspiring people I looked up to were black... and I am about as white as they come. I didn't look up to them because they looked like me, but because of their character and what they did. heres a sample
Aragorn was my first hero and it means a lot to me to see a depiction of him that looks so familiar. I loved LotR but I could never see myself in it until now. It's just card artwork but it really takes me back to my childhood
Genuine question,
For all the SW fans who follow me. Which one is better in y'alls opinion?
(These two are my two least favorite star wars films lmao 😅)
At this point, after what... 6+ years of this shit? If you don't understand why fans don't like her, and still think i'ts "woman" then it's completely on you, and gotten to the point where still not getting it proves you will never grasp it and should simply be muted for sanity.
‘The Book of Boba Fett’ should have focused more on Boba’s time with the tuskens, as he learns to live and fight alongside his new tribe, and starts to rethink both his past and future.
Agree?
So, two things stand out here to me.
1. The MASSIVE skills difference between Hayden, and Dawson. it's insane how much quicker and smoother his moves are compared to her.
2. My absolute complete and overwhelming sense of Apathy while watching this scene. I feel literally nothing
1. Calls me out then blocks replies like a little bitch
2. KMT never said why she left.
3. Boyega was surprised to find out that the fans really liked Finn and thought he was done dirty. He was told fans were racist by LFL.
"Racists, bigots, and sexists were never allowed into the Star Wars fandom."
Tell that to Rose Marie Tran and John Boyega who had to suffer through all the hate-mail and death threats over the last decade from people calling themselves "longtime SW fans". 🙄

@Massawyrm
The male version of the term is Gary Stu, or Larry Stu. Mary Sue by itself is not sexist, it merely has a gender specific use. Like His or Her, He or She, Gary Stu or Mary Sue.
1. The PT was hated by a specific group. Not the fanbase as a whole
2. Some of the fanbase has come around, some have not
3. The ST is hated as a whole by the bulk of the fanbase
4. No, in short no. in fact I think the only way to revitalize the franchise is to decanonize the ST
People hated the prequel trilogy.
Now they’re just as loved as the original trilogy.
Do you think the sequel trilogy will get the same amount of love from the majority of Star Wars fans in the future?
When Iron Man came out no one who wasn't a marvel die hard knew who Iron Man was, and RDJ was a drug addict who had gone to jail. He made both famous with his skill, his charisma and his personality. He IS iron man.
The big titles of the past decade are brands and franchises established in numerous prequels and sequels. Robert Downey Jr is a leading man, but his Iron Man could be played by almost anyone with wit; the character is more important to audiences than the actor.
"No one hates Star Wars like Star Wars Fans"
You misinterpret the situation. Every single one of us is still a Star Wars fan... but what we hate... is not star wars, it's a pretender, a body snatcher pretending to be Star Wars....
and we have a pitch fork...
I really want to see one of these people go to a college course stop the professor at the one hour mark and go "If you can't summarize your point in an hour, you failed"
Mauler is legitimately one of the worst critiques I’ve ever seen, if you can’t summarize your point in at least an hour you failed. I’m someone who doesn’t even like the Last Jedi but if you need five hours to explain something that doesn’t even take half the time you failed.
How... do you make TWO shows, about the same IP, and get both of them so absolutely fucking wrong... in completely OPPOSITE ways... In the same damn year?!
#TheAcolyte

project...
Our breakdown of how the show has brought out the worst of the Star Wars community:
Remember when People liked ashoka, and mandalorians were walking tanks that could survive everything.
Also this gif is better then all of DSW combined.
here we go again... "you need to see it multiple times to understand it." I got fight club on the first viewing... and actually got it before the movie ended. I got The matrix on the first try.
your movies aren't that deep.
“After watching the first film, I told myself that I was shit and that I really was less. I cried out my body’s tears thinking I was the worst thing that has ever happened to Star Wars”
- Daisy Ridley
Nah, the writers. Every single one of them.
The issue comes in that he claimed to be a fan and then said this twice. That's like a basket ball player claiming he he scored a touch down against the chicago cubs.
daisy ridley felt so lonely and had hard months after all the negativity after the rise of skywalker and now you’re telling me she felt like she ruined star wars after the force awakens???
i hate y’all
I will say that I think it’s going to be very hard for Disney to cast upcoming
#StarWars
projects, because this level of hate just isn’t worth it - even for up & coming actors
Like poor Lee Jung-Jae - coming off of Squid Game, doing a great job on
#TheAcolyte
, and for what?
Literally no one wants this.
We do however want internal consistency of the rules for that world. If it has any kind of real world carry over of the rules, it must internally follow those rules that have already been established.
Fucking hell keep up!
If you need everything in Star Wars to be:
- scientifically feasible
- logical
- thoroughly explained
- backed with equally scientific / logical evidence
then you’re not watching Star Wars for the story. You’re watching it because you want to make it real. It isn’t.
There is no way in hell... you can convince me that a Lightsaber which can do THIS to METAL doors and Droids... wouldn't instantly kill a human being of FLESH and bone if stabbed with.
They'd have their inside mental in seconds, especially if it's stabbed, a cut yes, stabbed no.
You took a brand with a built in fanbase, decided you didn't like that fanbase and were going to court another fanbase. A fan base that didn't give a shit about the brand. Now you've pissed of the fans you had, and failed to attract the fans you wanted.
Fuck off.
Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy knows women stepping into "Star Wars" might face fan attacks.
“Operating within these giant franchises now, with social media and the level of expectation — it’s terrifying...I think a lot of the women who step into ‘Star Wars’ struggle with
This is Master Nepo. She is the most powerful Jedi in The Acolyte and their leader. She's also now the first Jedi to use a purple lightsaber (sorry Mace Windu) and a lightsaber whip.
Who to cast in such a prestigious role? Leslye Headland's wife, of course.
Oh yes, I can totally relate, I often sit in my nephews bedroom watching him sleep with a lethal weapon pondering whether or not to kill him in his sleep because he had a bad dream.
totally relatable
"best fight choreography we've seen since the prequels"
True, but misleading. It implies that the choreography is actually good, it is not, it's just the choreography for all of the disney era has been insanely shit.
The Acolyte has some of the best fight choreography we’ve seen since the prequels. I love how the master Jedi only use their weapons as a last resort. I love the characters. These are the Jedi I’ve always imagined. Great development & attention to detail. The force is strong here
For the record, the same people coming out to defend her, and support her, are the ones who were told we hate women.
and the people trying to cancel her... are the ones that accused us.
kinda funny isn't it?
@Enemies_Allies
I admit it... I have a deep seated, almost phobic fear that makes me very insecure when confronted with poorly written 2 dimensional forced mary sues.
I'd get help but it seems to function as quality control so I'm good.
Literal video posted today was about the difference between female lead movies in the 80-00, and the modern era. Listing several women in 'crucial roles' It's like they don't actually understand the criticism, and just listen to what the NPC tells them.
I'm not a fan of Dr Who. Like at all... but this is a common trope in hollywood lately:
1. find popular franchise
2. invade popular franchise
3. massively change popular franchise
4. blame originals fan for not liking changes
5. make original fans the enemy.
Ncuti Gatwa is the first openly queer Black actor to take on the role of the core Doctor.
“I feel like anyone that has a problem with someone who’s not a straight white man playing this character, you’re not really, truly a fan of the show," he says.
A female lead has never been the issue the Fandom Menace has with Star Wars. Poorly made characters and bad movies has been the issue. Rey wasn't the only one, Finn, Kylo, Hux, Luke, all terribly written. Gender wasn't the issue, quality was.
People say the ST will be like the PT, hated at first loved in 10 years. Hate to tell you, the PT was loved at first while being openly criticized. The ST never enjoyed that. They are not the same. in 10 years... no one will care... because no one cares now.
@WolfsheadOnline
I am all for gatekeeping. Ass holes bigots, people that just want to destroy the fandom ahould bw kwpr out of making new canon entries.
Rey had a computer display from an old Y-wing assault bomber inside her AT-AT on Jakku
From that, she used it to learn binary and alien languages such as Shyriiwook (the Wookie language)
She also used it to run flight simulations and hone her skills as a pilot
The Fandom Menace, the term, and idea was coined after Last Jedi came out... more then 6 years after george said this... which by the way, was about prequel haters, and the media. not the fans.
@Dataracer117
Disney would never do anything dishonest...
They are a good company...
You must see this...
You will be assimilated...
We will profit from you diversity...
Save spiderman...
I'm sorry what were you saying?
or you just like there to be logical intelligent bad guys instead of a moron that tries to run over their enemy with a **checks notes** Star fighter...
The absolute best part about not watching this shit, and waiting for the clips to come in, is getting cringe worthy scenes like this, without any context at all and just going "oh shit, I can't wait to see what this garbage was meant to do"
