SAVE 'STAR WARS'? ANGRY FANS PETITION TO HAVE 'THE LAST JEDI' ABANDONED AND REMADE
Newsweek ^ | December 19, 2017 | Tufayel Ahmed

There is a great disturbance in the Force: Angry Star Wars fans are petitioning Disney to discard The Last Jedi, the eighth installment in the Skywalker saga released last Friday, and remake the film.

More than 7,000 fans have signed a Change.org petition titled “Have Disney strike Star Wars Episode VIII from the official canon” as of Tuesday morning, after being disappointed with writer-director Rian Johnson’s continuation of the beloved space saga. Warning: Spoilers ahead.

NERDS!!!!! A lot of fanboys seem to have gone crazy with let us say breaks from the past. The biggest complaints I have read are about a jaded Luke Skywalker. These fanboys want Luke to be the same farm boy that left Tatooine? Life experiences don't change a person?

LOL. Proof that the people living in this country have too much free time on their hands. Somebody needs to tell these idiots that it’s only a movie.

Why, that this time in history, should we be surprised by this? All the main-line Denominations and Cults are asking God to change the Bible! This is just the Pagan side of the Great Deception. ;-)

C’mon, who didn’t know Disney would poop all over Star Wars once they got their hands on it. Sorry fanboys, Disney does what Disney does.

If I don’t like a movie, I just don’t go see it. If I already saw it, I tell my friends its a bad movie.

Is this some sort of new “precious snowflake” thing?

It’s only a movie! Liberals have a hard time distinguishing fantasy from reality.

Haven’t they milked the Star Wars saga enough after all these decades?

I read the reviews by people on IMDB, some of the worst reviews I ever read in my life for a movie, some people saying it was so bad that it made them cry LOL!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2527336/reviews?ref_=tt_urv

I don’t understand these movie companies, well Disney I can understand being that it’s run by morons, but how hard is it to get a good script? They’re pouring millions into the picture, if not hundreds of millions, yet they can’t afford to buy a yellow pad and write out a good script? It’s freakin Star Wars! You can do anything in it!

“Somebody needs to tell these idiots that it’s only a movie.”

No Wil Wheaton, PLEASE!

Wish BBT had let him fade into obscurity, but at least he can now honestly claim THAT to be his best work, haha.

They are angry that their manufactured history is being rewritten.

I recall that Highlander 2 was so staggeringly bad that Highlander 3 literally started with the main character, seated & breaking the 4th wall by speaking directly to the audience, explaining that the second movie didn’t happen and that the third was resuming the first about 10 minutes before that storyline ended.

The article makes it sound like The Godfather 3 of the Star Wars saga. Too funny. That’s what happens when PC disney takes over the franchise. I expect wise,black lesbians from the planet lesbo to restore order to the universe in the next installment.

I saw it, meh. Funny was the critic\fanboy disconnect....90%+ on Rotten tomatoes with critics and a middling 50% with actual people who buy the tickets. I speculate, Hollywood and critics who make money of the system are really scared that Amazon\Netflix will put them out of business. They wanted so bad to make this the next Citizen Kane..which it clearly isn’t. The director’s biggest resume bullet point...”Looper”...huh?, an almost direct to video Bruce Willis crapfest made before smartphones or Obama.

Last Jedi is a dog, it’s a hair better then the prequels and much worse than Episode 8 and the the older movies. The humor in the movie actually made it feel like Spaceballs. Please save your money, the movie sucks.

I saw the first one back in the 1980s and that was it; thought it was mediocre, don’t understand the fan devotion to this claptrap. Now, The Thing (original), Alien I, and Them were scifi movies to remember but they had a plot, good acting and a theme.

Yes the movie had to throw in a completely unnecessary plot line to incorporate the black guy, a chubby Asian and a bunch of Oliver Twist looking multiracial kids. It was laughable it was so planned. G*d forbid only white people are the main characters. Disney will make money on this turd , but they did the series a disservice.

Disney bought the full rights to Star Wars for $7B.
They need to milk it just to make the purchase break even.

“much worse than Episode 8”

Isn’t this one Episode 8?
