Bounding into Comics is a terrible website that probably shouldn’t be getting eyeballs or attention from anyone. It’s essentially a mouthpiece for some of the absolute worst elements of “geek culture” or “fandom” in general.

It’s essentially Breitbart or OANN for “fanboys”

Thanks for saying something to this effect. I appreciate the linked interview with Rian Johnson, but the “article” reads more like a fan forum complaint:

“However, radically changing characters that are part of a much larger narrative doesn’t work on audiences. It doesn’t work with Hux and it most certainly doesn’t work on Luke Skywalker…”

This is what passes for journalism now. Give me a break.

I honestly didn’t even go through the link. I already saw the interview and thought his comments were spot on. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that obnoxious fans and fansites have twisted his words to mean “I hate Star Wars and Star Wars canon.” These are the same kind of people who would like for us to believe that him and Mark Hamill passionately despise each other. They live in an alternate universe where Rian is some sort of diabolical maniac whose sole purpose in life was to give fans the middle finger.
