Star Wars Fans Are (Officially) The Worst


Hey, I like Star Wars. I hated the Ewoks. I liked Midichlorians. I hated Jar Jar Binks. I like The Force Awakens. I'm indifferent towards the spinoffs. I'm okay with the prequels. I really like The Last Jedi. 

There's a vocal fan group that really hated Star Wars because Rian Johnson killed their childhood dreams and their expectations. Honestly, no one asked you to make your life all about Snoke theories and Rey's parentage. So if Johnson had another idea than you did, deal with it. He's the filmmaker and you're supposed to watch it.

I didn't really like Solo and some people have been boycotting the movie. They boycotted the film not because it was an unnecessary move by Disney in attempt to cash in from the IP, but because The Last Jedi sucked according to them. Which is sad because people who hated The Last Jedi pretty much would love Solo. In a The Last Jedi quotable quote, Kylo Ren said, "let the past die, kill it if you have to." And boy did TLJ, killed all traces of nostalgia in exchange for a fresh, unexpected take. It didn't feel right at first because Star Wars had been all about throwbacks. But I decided to give it another watch and some thought and I like the direction they're going. While Solo, fully embraced the nostalgia, even milking it. So them TLJ haters would definitely dig Solo, but they wouldn't know.

Recently a sub-group launched an initiative to remake The Last Jedi. Haha. yes, they wanted to remake a 200 million movie which had people all around the world working on it and that movie actually made over a billion dollars. I'll just put this poll that they made here.




That is just sad. Haha. No one wanted The Last Jedi remake. 
And who made their hashtag? Donald Trump?
Really, #LastJediAwful could really belong in a Trump tweet.

If only they realized that they actually got a well-made, singular-vision film.
Unlike the DCEU. #ReleaseTheSnyderCut right?
