Star Wars Fans Are Already Trying to Kill Rian Johnson's New Trilogy
- 5 years ago
Star Wars fans have made the latest trilogy in the beloved sci-fi saga a living hell, to say the least. Between racist attacks and toxic fandom, the conversation surrounding the latest three movies in the Star Wars franchise has become a disease. Having endured the last four years of Star Wars trolls, it's time to prepare for whatever fresh hell awaits us next. And this week we got a little look into that future.
Much of the debate about Star Wars the last few years has been about Rian Johnson's second entry into the new trilogy, The Last Jedi. If you ask critics, the movie was a triumph, a much needed leap in the storytelling we typically get from Star Wars films. Depending what fans you ask, it either "supported a white genocide" or it simply destroyed their childhood and everything they hold dear. Throughout it all, Johnson has spent an entire year fighting with fans online—whom he calls "manbabies"—and defending his film from trolls.
