As I predicted, the chuds are now making filmmakers think twice about considering making SW movies. Still think it's funny when the haters talk about who they'd like to make SW films. Yeah, good luck with that. (Wonder if any "fan" will take a break from calling Kellie Marie Tran "Ching Chong Wing Wong" long enough to call me an SJW.)

Ahhhh...Disney's new "angle" is just to get anyone they can to speak negatively about the fandom now. First the articles about Ahmed Best. Now Christopher McQuarrie.
It's too bad Christopher feels so pessimistic about Star Wars fans. I had a few correspondences with his father, Ralph McQuarrie, and he was always very respectful/appreciative of the fans. He was brilliant. RIP.

He'll do it if he's given a chance. The money too good to pass up.

Are they a "toxic fanbase" now? lmao What about the Kelly Marie Tran incident? what about it? She did not even state why she left - was it an project-NDA or similar, was it fan intensity? Strange, +6-months after TLJ and there was a new target with that SJW-robot. Strange timing.
Even if it got too heated, everybody claims to get death threat on the internet, it's the norm. Many leave social media, it's easy, it's reasonale.
Heat> stay-out > kitchen - Heat is pretty effective to blow up straw-man balloons too, right.

hey Crepy, I wonder if your passionatly relentless hate-and-smear crusades against Grace Randolph will "cure" her of wanting to make You Tube content and reports about SW.
As you predicted, you chuds are now making content makers think twice about considering making You Tube SW content. Yeah, good luck with that, even if it makes them millions.

There's psychotic fanboys and fangirls out there, obviously the entire fanbase isn't like that but the toxic environment does Exist. The prequel hate definitely got toxic. |

It does exist but for articles/artists to refer to the Star Wars fandom as a whole as, "Toxic", is incredibly disrespectful of the fans who made Star Wars possible for 40+ years. There wouldn't be any franchise for Disney to buy if it weren't for us. It isn't just directors/actors/crew needed to make a movie franchise survive - they need their fans too. We're the ones who flocked to the theaters, who bought the merchandise, who attended the conventions, who showed our children the movies and bought them the toys so they could enjoy the Star Wars magic too, etc. To say the few (trolls) are the many is unjust. Alison Arngrim, who played Nellie Oleson on Little House on the Prairie, was slapped in the face by someone who watched the show as she couldn't tell the difference between TV/reality. Does that mean the majority of Little House on the Prairie fans are "toxic" then? Jeffrey Dean Morgan from The Walking Dead recently asked viewers to stop showing up to his home unannounced/unwelcomed. Does that mean the majority of Walking Dead fans are "toxic" then? John Lennon was shot by someone (I refuse to use his name) who listened to his music. Does that mean all John Lennon fans are violent? You get my point. From being labeled "Toxic", to "racists", to "misogynists", and on...Disney isn't helping themselves or the fandom by continuing to use these divisive methods. Star Wars fans have put up with enough of this treatment. |

But I also believe that we should call out any toxic behavior because unfortunately all it takes is a group of assholes to tarnish a fandom. |

No amount of money is worth getting harassed over. Especially when you have other options.
I fear that these toxic fanboys are going to scare a lot of respectable directors, writers and actors from the franchise. This will reduce Star Wars to B category. A real shame.

Da toxic fanboys are small minority. Some of them are not even real fans but just trolls. Now Disney and media suck-up writers are runnin this smear campaign against da fanbase. Thems sayin that all of da unhappy fans are these trolls. NOT TRUE. This is gonna backfire in Disney's face. Them are building a reputation that thems will attack anyone who criticizes SW - no matter how soft or objective da criticism might be. Disney is just as responsible for ruinin SW by takin this approach. Let thems keepa doin it til SW is dead. Gonna hurt them more than da fans. They lose billions, not fans. Fans will still have thems conventions, still have thems DVD collection, and still have thems memorabilia. Eventually Disney sell da rights to another studio. Don't kid yousa self, Disney is all about money. And plenty other studios would take da opportunity to make SW. |

A real shame.It already is B category, speaking of the episodic movies. The cinematography might be an A. But the writing is less than B grade. D/D+ writing. It's B category movies at best right now. |

I don't know all the details, but, as I mentioned on another thread, even my 76 year old mother has been attacked on social media. |

I didn't care for her part in the movie but she does seem like a lovely person. It's horrible people mistreated her. She didn't write the role - that should be taken up with Rian Johnson. |
