my edit to the OP for further clarification …#standagainst https://www.deviantart.com/screamsinthevoid/art/Stand-Against-748884934?ga_submit_new=10%3A1528516751 " Being a toxic fan is when you’re insulting and berating and harassing the people making the movies or the people that like them." Folks , these are the exact people I speak to in making this topic , Kelly Marie Tran , Ahmed Best ,Jake Lloyd, Daisy Ridley, etc. . I understand that some people genuinely do not like the direction of the new films,or the decisions of those making them , and have some ligitimate criticisms,but this is not the place to heir those concerns , you probably SHOULD start your own topic to express your views and if you are of a mind to take a stand and stick up for the aforementioned people making the movies and the people that like them that ARE being harrassed, then this is the place for it .and to be clear on the intentions of this thread , if you have something supportive to say , this is the place , if not , take it elsewhere or start your own topic . I think I have done my part to be as clear as I can .

Seriously, this is a series of fictional films!

We’ve nicknamed a whole generation of people based on this “series of fictional films” Perhaps they are a little more special than other series of fictional films.

I wish to apologize for this post. I quoted that part of Kellythatsit’s post because I wanted to criticize people going “they’re just films” all the time. I picked the wrong post and wrong thread to do it in and I am sorry. It was poorly thought out on my part.

Nice one - and similar to HelloGreedo’s latest take on the issue too 😃

Great to see this smash past it’s kickstarter goal too…

Am intrigued to see what they come up with - as well as adywan’s superb quality work - and am looking forward to seeing more updates on there 😃

Ugh, why do they put politics in my space Nazi movie.

But seriously this looks cool. I wonder if there are Official guidelines for fanfilms to follow in order to stay legal. Calling something “A Star Wars Story” would likely run afowl of those rules.

and here we go again …https://variety.com/2018/digital/global/ruby-rose-batwoman-quits-twitter-following-trolling-1202902971/ Anybody got a ticket off this planet ?

I’ve been following this story, and it’s hilarious to me that a lesbian cast to play a lesbian character is getting flack from the far left because she’s not gay enough, whatever the hell that means. Just proves there are loonies on both sides and you can’t please everybody, so just do the best work you can and don’t try to cater to fringe elements. It’s a losing proposition.

Can’t we just put all the trolls on a rocket and launch it into the sun instead?

I look forward to the day twitter is as passé as myspace and livejournal. It happens to every platform eventually.

Within minutes of me posting the link on my Revisited Facebook page, it was inundated with negative comments. Ridiculous ones about how it is playing up to Kennedy’s female agenda, how they refuse to support both this project, and now my own Revisited project, because i’m supporting this fan film that is supposedly a far left propaganda film, how i’m lucky i don’t live in America because i would likely get a bullet. Then you had the comments about how i can stick my project up my ass if i’m supporting the SJW and the forced diversity Disney crap , and the same if i dare to add female pilots into ROTJ (ha ha, they’re really going to hate me then when they see who the pilots are) , along with a few direct threats for the same reasons, then they started posting how Trump is the best president ever and if i don’t like him i can “f***ing move to another country” (bloody idiots , i don;t even live in the USA), even though nowhere was Trump even mentioned in anything. And finally you had the blatant racist/ misogynistic remarks. I felt like i spend the next week just deleting posts.

To top it all, Sunday i was in Telford with my wife. I was wearing my Last Jedi T-shirt and, while we were waiting in a queue , three twenty-something year old guys approached and asked me how i could possibly wear that “thing” . The second i said it’s because i liked the film, the abuse started. Apparently my wife must be a lesbian because i was a “dickless w**ker” if i liked any of the disney crap that’s “just for women and gays”. They were lucky there was CCTV in the shop and that my wife was with me (plus i had only just got over a nasty bout of heat stroke), because i was about to lose it. Funny how they really didn’t like it when i said that at least i had a relationship and how the only way they would get sex with anything close to a female is by putting lipstick on their right hand. Not so brave all of a sudden when most of the shop started laughing at them. They left quickly when the security guard finally approached, but not before shouting some vile shit at us both when they were safely at a distance. Screw them. I will like what i want.

But, it’s the type of thing i am having to deal with on an almost daily basis on the net. And it’s only getting worse.

Jeez, what’s with people these days. It’s sad, that Aretha Franklin appears to be on her death bed, because her greatest hit seems particulary relevant today: R.E.S.P.E.C.T…

Edit: I own a TLJ t-shirt. My mother in law bought it for me, because she knows I’m a Star Wars fan, and I wear it proudly.
