    The poster matches the quality of the movie. Rumors are that the test screenings were so bad that people walked out.

    Disney is sweating bullets about Episode 9 bombing.

    Now that the franchise is back on track with The Mandalorian, guess who's upset?

    This idiot didn't even watch the show.


    The Armorer, who holds authority over the other Mandalorians, is played by a woman.

    If this idiot Sarkeesian had bothered to listen to the dialogue should would have known. Clearly she just skimmed the first episode and assumed that the Armorer was a man because The Mandalorians don't take their armor off.

    This shit isn't going to work though. Disney knows that they fucked up. It's rumored that Kathleen Kennedy is going to get booted out of the leadership position with Lucasfilm in favor of John Favreau.

    Iger already confirmed that the movies are going on hiatus after episode 9.

    That lady is a well known professional media grifter. She is attacking the Mandalorian because any attention is good attention as far as media grifters go.

    This could very well be true but you have to take videos from people like that with a huge grain of salt because they belong to the Youtube sphere of people who hate on any and all "woke" media. They are the same type of people who lost their shit about the racial sub-story of Watchmen.

    I say cool lets lose all feminist support. Then we can watch what we want and they can watch what they want. They spend all their time trying to destroy everyone else's good time because they are so unhappy

    No doubt, a lot of these "nerd culture" channels got fucked up politics. Most of the stuff regarding the failures of the Star Wars franchise is on point though.

    The fact that there were substantial reshoots has been reported by legit media outlets for the past two months.

    Nothing to see here. The fact that you guys pay attention to every instance of manufactured outrage on social media is perplexing.

    Eh...I ususally ignore this shit, and this is first time that I've ever actually seen an opinion from that Sarkeesian person despite hearing her name for years.


    Those tweets that she made defending the original shittakes went viral and kept getting retweeted by people that I follow.

    Okay. There's been a lot of leaks going around recently regarding the plot of the Episode 9.

    I was hesitant to believe them until I saw the trailer, which confirmed a lot of what people were saying.

    Then I started lending the speculation some credence.

    After this story, I totally believe the plot descriptions and the story about people literally walking out of the test screenings in disgust, which led to the reshoots.

    Here's some videos detailing the leaked plot before and after the reshoots.





    (Disclaimer: I'm not endorsing any of the other videos on this channel because this dude has fucked up right-wing politics, but he doesn't say anything out of order in these two videos and just details the plot leaks and how they correspond with the trailers. Also, I gotta admit, he's pretty funny.)

    Haha. Stars of the sequel trilogy starting to get vocal about how terrible it is.

    John Boyega just did an interview talking about how he was pissed about what they did with character. Daisey Ridley made similar comments the other day



    Boyega, Ridley and Oscar Isaac all said that they're done with Star Wars and Disney after the last movie too.

    I ain't getting no? This does not sound like Boyega at all. Fake news

    Boyega is the one who lost his script. He needs to keep his mouth shut.

    What does losing a script have to do with speaking your mind?

    All these leaks allegedly came from Boyega's missing script. So, indirectly he's responsible for all the negative press for the last Star Wars movie getting so much negative press.

    Boyega may have killed any future projects he might have with Disney.
    If it was me, I wouldn't be saying shit about anything.
    These folks paid you 7 figures to star in a legendary movie franchise. The least he can do is not bash the film.

    I suspect JJ Abrams ripped Boyega a new asshole for losing his script, which is why he's trashing the movie.
