THAT'S your takeaway? 🤦‍♀️
Or else she might miss the major nuanced complexities of Star Wars!
It's getting to the point where I feel embarrassed to say I like these movies. The thought of seeing ROTS on opening night knowing that, statistically, I'm surrounded by these mouth-breathing weirdos is uncomfortable.
How can you miss the central ethos of a franchise so much
Always fascinating how a story with themes of love, friendship, acceptance and belonging at its core can make people behave like such assholes.

I always think of it like... do you think Luke Skywalker would approve of this shit?

Don't even get me started on the Rose/Rey criticism. Disgusting.I'm still laughing that Rose literally spelled out the mission statement of the entire franchise in dialogue form, and people got angry about it.

It's because Rose is a vagina person. They don't like that.I'm still laughing that Rose literally spelled out the mission statement of the entire franchise in dialogue form, and people got angry about it.
You can only be a True star wars fan if you:
Hate the Prequels -> I liked them back in the day, Jar-Jar was and is still shitty, though.
Hate the new films even more -> Liked TFA a lot, not a fan of TLJ.
Hate Rian Johnson -> NP with him.
Hate Kathleen Kennedy -> not even know her.
Hate Diasy Ridley -> Actually I like her character the most on the new movies.
Hate Laura Dern -> This one tho infuriated us during the screening.
Hate Kelly Marie Tran -> Not hate, but don't see the point of the character.
Hate Women in general (this one is important) -> Obviously not true.
Actually liking any of the Films is optional
Real fucking hard to do when the mention of anything Star Wars-related send them running.Stop paying attention to them, no matter how many they can be.
"We can't bring balance to the Force. There'll always be assholes. Emperor Palpatine is one of many. Accept it and do the best you can"Uh... I'd like to point you to a thing called religion.
Which Star Wars incidentally has become.

Sure, but I'm not really interested in giving a ribbon to people who preface their condemnation of harassment with "I agree that Kelly Marie Tran is the worst thing to ever happen to Star Wars BUT..."There's a big difference between bad film discussion and harassing someone.
Yeah I remember shortly after TLJ released there was a poll on ERA to vote on who was the worst character in SW.Sure, but I'm not really interested in giving a ribbon to people who preface their condemnation of harassment with "I agree that Kelly Marie Tran is the worst thing to ever happen to Star Wars BUT..."
(Antis are people who oppose certain ships - in this scenario, people who oppose the shipping of Rey and Kylo Ren. But not like in a normal person way, where you'd be like "Kylo Ren is a douchebag who has tried to kill her and her friends multiple times so that'd be real weird for them to hook up." Instead it'd be in the weird fandom way where relationships are viewed as a sport and you root for teams to the point it seems like it's almost entirely divorced from the source material.)
(And now your life is worse for knowing this terminology)
Good, it was the asshole finder general
Star Wars fans have done so much more damage to my interest in the series than all the supposedly awful shit they incessantly scream about...
Went to Galaxy's Edge in Disneyland and had a great time! That was a cool place to see, and that Smuggler's Run ride was a fun-ass-thing to do. Know what's a cool ship? The Millennium Falcon.
Then I see a thread on ERA whining about TLJ again about how Rian Johnson slit the throat of their childhood innocence, and I remember how little I ever want to associate with this shitty fucking fanbase.

She was doxxed harassed and sent death threats and this is your take away?
How a goofy, kind-hearted series about a guy whose magic powers work on friendship and self-reflection developed such a sour, miserable fanbase is beyond me.
I think I'm finally gonna watch those movies. I just hope the whole "Luke I'm your father" part isn't supposed to be the biggest surprise of the movie.lol
