Good interview with JJ above, but I cannot help but think all these theories of alt right groups lowering the score on Rotten Tomatoes is a bunch of tosh.
The film wasnt hated by a large section of fans because it had too many women in prominent roles - what a silly thing to get upset about.
You should see some of the posts that were deleted from the TLJ threads by the moderators mate - and some of the right-wing extremists that joined to also tried to influence things here - and other sites; including those of prominent Star Wars fan sites / social media platforms.
As others have said ‘It’s hardly a load of tosh when they go around declaring their plans’ online.
Because you cannot see these posts/posters anymore - doesn’t mean that it didn’t happen - nor that they will not return again either. Unfortunately it also muddies the waters somewhat as to genuine Star Wars fans with legitimate criticisms of the film(s) - and not helped at times by a handful of more established / longer serving members on here also making derogatory remarks about women or the roles of minorities in the new films at times.
