The author of the Star Wars: Aftermath trilogy, Chuck Wendig, went on a Twitter rant against Star Wars fans, calling them #GamerGate, #ComicsGate, MRAs, Incels and white supremacists.
He started off the rant on May 31st, 2018, exclaiming that he went down a rabbit hole of crappy Star Wars fans after they threatened to boycott his upcoming book and were glad Solo: A Star Wars Story tanked at the box office.
Chuck Wendig ✔ @ChuckWendig I help I fell down a weird rabbit hole of [expletive] Star Wars fans
oh my god these people
Chuck Wendig ✔@ChuckWendig What a weird thing to be a fan of a thing you so obviously despise.
Theres a string of tweets from Wendig, as he unloads on the very people that help make the fandom what it is, writing in succession
Heres what happened, for context: some numbnuts tagged me into some thing about boycotting my upcoming Darth Vader annual issue (out in August!), and there I saw some [expletive]
Current idea is that SOLO is tanking I guess by having the fourth biggest opening in 2018 so far because of SUPERFANS who so hated the Last Jedi so bad that their magic hate powers caused a sorcerous boycott of SOLO.
And thats astonishingly goofy on so many levels.
First, that fans again, FANS! are happy HAPPY!? that Star Wars is faring poorly. Its like rooting for your own child to fail. Its like hoping your own puppy falls down some steps. Its so weird.

I’m not a fan of the prequels either. The third one had a few good moments, but otherwise, those movies were forgettable.
I don't care if it's good. Star Wars has turned to the dark side, and now it needs to be destroyed. It needs to be wrecked as a financial property, and so far as i'm concerned, spreading the allegation that it is bad is in the best interest of America.
Disney is evil, and turns everything it touches into more evil.
More likely just another white idiot.
The production team at Disney has basically said they don’t want straight white males watching the new Star Wars movies because they weren’t made for us. They proudly wear shirts that say “The force is female” and in not so many words want us to F off and die.
So, no. I don’t care if Solo is the best of all the Star Wars movies because my boycott has nothing to do with output, but input. I’m not giving them any of my coins until their production team is purged of people who hate my very existence.
Hollywood must die! And the only way to kill it is to stop supporting the cash cow franchises, like Star Wars that subsidize the rest of their garbage.
Good movie or not, if you (expletive) in your dinner bowl too often, people will notice. I’m done with SW, and I don’t even need to see the last two.
They need to remember that it’s supposed to be ‘entertainment’ and lay off on the preaching, not that they’ll ever do that.
“...boycotting my upcoming Darth Vader annual issue.” The immature Wendig concludes that Disney’s Star Wars is hurting his product and then concludes that he must distance himself from the Disney Star Wars and fans. Well, both are boring. Star Wars was fun when I was 12 years old (big space ships, cool swords) and Disney was fun when I was 15 years old (sneaking in, meeting girls).
Who?!
This is NFL-level disconnected from the fanbase. Please, keep going, Chuck. Star Wars needs to end.
Yep, it was a fun ride. I am sorry we won’t see more of Han Solo’s story, and I feel sorry for the actor. But no, the studio should not disrespect the fans.
agreed, loved it!
“, but about Solo. Fans killed a good movie without even seeing it. It was very unfair.”
We already know what crap liberalism is. We don’t need to see it. Maybe if you’re 12 you don’t know, but we do.
I just saw this movie yesterday.
What else bugs me? We keep getting all these ENGLISH females. What are they trying to do, convince me again that these are exotic females?
Meanwhile none of the females they’ve had have exuded toughness like Carrie Fisher (for all her faults like liberalism).
Still the modern problem of trying to make naturally weak women seem like they’re tough. They don’t look tough and they don’t “feel” tough. The Golden Era had much better females.
Do you have to be nasty when we’re just discussing a movie? I made my first professional writing bucks writing SW for West End Games. I really love the Solo character and would have enjoyed seeing more of his background in these films. My preference — I assume you can be more pleasant with your own opinions? Not trying to slam you, but...really.
I thought it was exciting, fun, and the actor playing Han did a great job. Actor playing Lando though just reminded me of a street punk trying to be suave. In the originals, Lando was BORN suave, and I doubt he needed to cheat at cards.
You and the liberals first. Try not being insulting and maybe we won’t reply in kind and hurt your poor widdle feelings.
