After Star Wars author Chuck Wendig called Star Wars fans white supremacists and The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson referred to them as manbabies, Star Wars author Paul Kemp believes certain Star Wars fans are “detestable.”

Kemp has written a number of Star Wars novels including Lords of the Sith, Star Wars: The Old Republic – Deceived, Crosscurrent, Riptide, and more.

Over the weekend, Kemp decided to attack certain Star Wars fans calling them “detestable human being[s]” if they use the terms “forced diversity, SJW, or politically correct, or whatnot.”

Paul S. Kemp ✔ @Paulskemp 11 Jun Since I follow mostly political/policy/journalism folks, I'm late to the various fandom controversies. Caught wind of the latest in Star Wars fandom.
Let me share some brief comments.

Paul S. Kemp ✔ @Paulskemp There are probably some followers of this feed who use the term "forced diversity," "SJW," or "politically correct," or whatnot.

If you're one of them, unfollow me. I don't merely disagree with you; I find you contemptible, a detestable human being with whom

What Lucas and Disney and people like this 'writer'( hack who followed corporate instructions and formula) refuse to acknowledge is that Star Wars-(whatever it was intended to be) became a world wide phenomenon and part of human culture. People LOVE the story idea, the morals, the link to human myths. They have incorporated it into their lives. It's MORE than a movie to millions. Those people passed that love down to their children and NOW, instead of building on the deep, cultural connection of that fanbase we are given something completely opposite to what the world loved. 'Let the past die- kill it if you have to'. That one,obnoxious, quote sums up what has been done to the Star Wars the world loves-and we HATE them for it!

These people murdered what SW is and they expect us to not only pay for-but to enjoy(and applaud the creativity)of the funeral.

They should use diaper pins instead of safety pins

Thanks for the info. I wasn’t aware of that.

If I see a dork wearing one of those things, I’ll be sure to point, laugh and ridicule the snowflake.

[RedMonqey]

Not a fan of Star Wars’ but is this the new model of business, insult at least a portion of your fanbase?

[Architect of Avalon]

Good summary.

[RedMonqey]

Okay, for us Deplorables, what does the safety pin mean?

Red Diaper baby who wants to crawl back in the womb and be aborted.

You know, a liberal. who is telegraghing his state of being "Woke"

Mr Kemp,

This “Deplorable” would like to meet you at the location of your choice.
Love to show you what you can do with that “safety pin”

You may hold it dearly until I’m finished with my “summary” of your opinion.

[RedMonqey]

Paul Kemp and the other hijackers think that it’s heroic to sacrifice yourself by crashing your ship into another using your hyperspace drive.

Leftist taking tips from the losers.(Kamikazes)

Color me surprised.

Are nukes not invented in the Stars Wars mythology?

[Secret Agent Man]

Heres the summary.

Star Wars - great, set new stds in scifi movies and effects, merchandise, games

Empire - great sequel, best storyline

ROJ - great effects, good 1st half, ewok/comic relief sucked hard, to hinge success of assault on the help of cannibal teddy bears signalled end of greatness right here.

All the rest on, great special effects, but sucked. Jar Jar, the “forced diversity”, the obvious hatred of white guys.

Plenty of good reasons not to like the franchise afrer 1983.

The flicks weren’t that great. If you’re a writer of novelizations — of stories that weren’t even good enough to become movies — you oughtta keep your head down and hope nobody figures out that you wrote them.

‘Star Wars...became a world wide phenomenon and part of human culture’

wouldn’t know; I never saw so much as one of the movies...

Until Star Wars, science fiction was the exclusive province of the five or six most intelligent kids at any school. Star Wars introduced science fiction for stupid people, thereby doing humanity a great disservice.

[otness_e]

To be fair, people like Chris Trevas did try to make Star Wars a bit more like old-school science fiction to fix that.

I heard Lucas tried to use the Science Fiction field to push social agendas due to his taking anthropology in college.

Besides, Star Trek also was a bit guilty of that as well.
