the real question is why does media keep pandering to the kinds of people who have proven they won't like it no matter what? it's the same thing with censorship. anyone who would whine about explicit things whines just as much about implicit things.

You need to consider the fact that The Last Jedi is about 100 years ahead of our time. When Star Wars was being written in the 1960s, we were having to deal with war, drugs and AIDS, and I'm just as concerned about where The Last Jedi goes from here. Some films that I'm not particularly interested in, for whatever reason, are really hard to make because I don't feel that there's that level of commitment to it. And the film is very, very strong for what it is – I'm not looking at The Phantom Menace, for example, there's no connection. With The Last Jedi and Lucasfilm, I can see how the film might appeal to other fans and I can see a few movies that would want to see it. But I will say that the thing that is really going to matter is that I think the passion is really present there and something really special about it, which is why I'm so interested in it.
I'm having trouble understanding this. He is protesting star wars but also trump? Is this just some /x/ post?

It's just a good film. It's a really good film, very important. A bit off the pace in some places, not a great film. But it was interesting to be there on opening night. He was protesting Trump and Disney but also making a point about an increasingly racist country. His most recent tweet, in December, was for the record: >Donald Trump has got to go. The racist, authoritarian, xenophobic forces he represents are not acceptable in this country and he's emboldened by an increasingly oligarchic media conglomerate. (Disney) And Trump has made it abundantly clear that he does not like him.
