Rogue One' Premiere Targeted by Pro-Trump Street Artist
The Hollywood Reporter ^ | Dec. 10, 2016 | Paul Bond

"I'd never seen the mainstream media sell their souls for a candidate the way they did for Hillary, and she still lost," says Sabo, who plastered faux movie posters all over Hollywood Boulevard.

When Disney hosts its star-studded Rogue One: A Star Wars Story premiere on Saturday, guests will be greeted by artwork meant to rub it in the faces of liberal Hollywood that Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton in the Nov. 8 presidential election.

The artwork, posted at bus stops and other locations near the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood, consists of parodies of the poster for the latest Star Wars film, as well as for the Fox comedy Why Him? starring Bryan Cranston, James Franco and Zoey Deutch.

The only Star Wars star that can likely handle such artwork as this is R2-D2.

Hamill's gonna be pissed.

I saw the same bias in other movies, such as the Purge Election Year movie that came out this summer that had a middle aged white woman fighting the “new founding fathers”, and when she couldn’t ban the purge, said it included all the elites - who were incidentally nearly all middle aged white men.

Julian Assange, Mily Yiannopoulos, Steve Bannon, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, but who is that next to Sean?

Even if the writers of Star Wars: Rogue One hadn’t decided to shoot their mouths off in veiled attacks on Trump, I’d pass on this movie. I am fine with women in leading roles, but not in every single movie. Men are disappearing from action movies as heroic leads, while little girls defy reality and the laws of physics beating up men twice their size cast as the villains.

I assume its's Gavin McInnis, who is mentioned in the story, but I am not familiar with him.

The status of Hollywood since Bill Clinton was elected the first time. All movies and TV series since then were changed to the new normal overnight. Since then I get all of my news from FR and watch a lot of the western channel and the outdoor channel, occasional sports (no ESPN).

The guy next (on right) to Hannity is über-conservative blogger extraordinaire "Mark Dice." If you're not familiar with his exceptional commentary blogs, check him out on Youtube.

You'll like him alot.

Thanks — I also thought it was Mark Dice. Nice to see my thoughts confirmed.

I enjoy him a lot on Youtube.

The new bias has gotten to Disney as well. When was the last Disney animated movie where the main character was a male child? I can’t think of one off hand.
What are the little guys supposed to look at during all those Ice Shows? Magical Princess girls in ballgowns everywhere, but not too many positive role models for the boys.

I saw this on Drudge earlier, while FR was still down. Pretty funny.

willful suspension of disbelief is impossible in these types of films.

But Mark Dice doesn't have a beard.
