Arguably, reducing Jar Jar to nearly a cameo in Episode III was allowing some angry abusive fans to dictate things?

Lest we forget, he buried the original THX-1138 in 2004 and only a much smaller fanbase noticed or cared.

there is’nt as much lime light surrounding that film, THX1138, I actually like both the original and the special edition versions different cut’s are allowed to have there own merits take bladerunner for instance there is’nt any stupidness about the what 4 different versions and no huge whining over the san diego sneak preview thats never been released. The point is although Bladerunner still remains a collosal film it somehow does not attract the idiots as much because it’s more cerebral. Star Wars is simple pulp fun and it is made in a way that it has something for everyone hence why it get’s shall we say “band waggoned” and never before has it been like it is now but it is going in a bad direction and Disney have a responsibility to put something out there i.e. “not in our name” rather than turn a blind eye. It perhaps has come to a crux between rock and hard place but the toxicity is not a death bell but it is like a lead weight dragging everything down and unfortunately change will have to occur to rid the stink of it because it just is not going to go away. There are far to many social media platforms earning off of hate… It might be youtube channels or twitter or what ever. Those people are out to earn off of getting clicks by spewing off about stuff that will appeal to agenda and those social media platforms target the various groups. They don’t neccasarily believe in or care about what is being spewed out as long as they earn the money. the mindless idiots who actually buy “the opinion” crap these morons spout off about to earn money then go fourth and feel empowered to hate on something because this opinion is a collective kind of “cool”. Although it is actually a network of social opinion earners.

Basically freedom of speech i have no problem with, but the whole sale “let’s attack” star wars and make money from this social opinion side of the franchise for clicks / adverts is really blatently obvious.

if you took the money away from the youtube accounts and all the other stuff it would dissapear instantly. Perhaps social opinion should not be allowed to earn?

where as actual instructional or just simply interesting and creative stuff should?

Perhaps there does need to be a creativity meter to earn off a soicial media channel rather than just some twats opinion
