Fans get pissed including a few who step over the line with racist comments
Considering the left's penchant for fake hate crimes, I'm not sure the 'racist' posts (or one post?) are even legit. Even if they are, it's the internet. It's full of shitty trolls. Just go read any random live stream on youtube. Half the posts are n-word, n-word, gas the jews, n-word. They're internet bottom feeders.

But yeah, this is Disney's typical countermeasure. Call critics racist, and yeah, that's what they're doing.

When they're not molesting kids, that is.

If you don't let us groom kids, you aren't real Star Wars fans

You can be critical of her character without DMing her racist remarks.

Please lay out the context where you would call a black person you don’t know the n-word and it not be racist.

Lay out your reasoning as to why all white male fans should be branded racists and a toxic culture because one person of millions on instagram sent a DM to her with that word?

As far as her bad acting, what is he supposed to say there? The cast of Phantom Menace said the same things about Jake Whatisname that played little Anakin about what a great performance he gave and stellar addition to he Star Wars cast he was.

Add in, Ewan is also the Executive Producer, who likely had a hand in approving the cast (or in this case, miscast), so he has double the reasons to support her bad acting.

ETA: Ewan is a white male Star Wars fan. Do you think he called himself racist?

All criticism of Reva is racist


After watching his video you're 1 of 3 things:

1. too dumb to know what he said
2. a racist
3. a dumb racist

Get ready for more of this with the Rings of Power. Wish more people would have boycotted Star Wars to send the message.

The fricking DISNEY account you idiot. Who do you think gets blamed for muh racism claims by black entertainers involved in these types of properties? There are numerous examples of “toxic fandom” type articles written about that subset of fans that made these characters great in the first place

OK, I listened to the clip. Ewan didn’t directly attack the fanbase, just the fans sending Moises Ingram racist and unacceptable texts. He says nothing about the story or the fans at large here unlike Kathleen Kennedy. I will only start watching Star Wars again if Kennedy is fired, so that doesn’t change, but yeah Ewan isn’t going after the fans who simply don’t like the show.

And while it is very acceptable to attack Rose’s character, I do remember quite a few racist posts on here about her race and personally attacking the actress, which I think is out of line. The only people responsible for the disaster that is The Last Jedi are Kathleen Kennedy, Rian Johnson, their disciples, and to a lesser extent JJ Abrams. The cast couldn’t save the movie, so like ripping into the Game of Thrones cast at the end of the show, I don’t think it’s appropriate to rip into cast members with the exception of miscasting and the actor/actress preliminarily ripping into the fans in a manner say Brie Larson would do.
