    Anti-Star Wars sentiments had been spreading since Rogue One screenwriter Chris Weitz tweeted a few days after the 2016 United States Presidential Election that Star Wars was against hate and pointed out that the villainous Empire is a white supremacist organization.[1] This angered white supremacists, who had threatened to boycott the film.[2] The rumors of the boycott and the hashtag “#DumpStarWars” began to spread when Trump supporter Jack Posobiec[3] tweeted the hashtag along with an unsubstantiated claim that Star Wars writers had rewritten and reshot the film to include scenes that called Trump a racist.

    Seriously, this started with actual white supremacists calling Star Wars a "Jew masturbation fantasy of anti-white hatred." Then Twitter just plum made shit up and it blew up from there. I wasn't planning on seeing it until I heard that the Nazis hated it.

    I'm Jewish, but I have to admit it does not look much like a masturbation fantasy.

    I liked Rogue One. Found it much less cheesy than Force Awakens.
    Cheesy as in it's meant more for children, than adults. Not cheesy as in bringing back old cast members.
    But at least Disney knew their audience in that film, kids are the majority of it at least that's who their company targets. However for Star Wars I'm not sure kids are the majority of the audience that will watch Star Wars.
    They did however seem to learn from the mistakes they made in Force Awakens. I didn't see those same mistakes in Rogue One.

    Def worth going to see in theaters.
    Where Force Awakens, wasn't... Well unless you had a kid who liked the cartoon Star Wars series Disney has put on.

    Well, it probably includes people in uniform marching, and for the "Alt-Right" that's a masturbation fantasy, so they assume it is for others too.

    People in uniform marching are more likely to be a nightmare for Jews.
