	I don't like the modern Star Wars films, but I was never a massive fan of the old ones either.
	To me, the new films are everything that's wrong with modern filmmaking.
	They're enormous, overproduced corporate trash that's pumped out as often as possible to milk dollars from the wallets of the millions of normies still plugged into the Matrix.
	And why did you pick Kylo Ren today?
	Uh, Kylo Ren is part of the movie.
	That's simple.
	Do you have any good quotes for me?
	Yeah, that lightsaber belongs to me.
	That was pretty intimidating.
	I'm just gonna hand it on over to you.
	You can have it.
	I found The Force Awakens so full of lazy writing and insufferable characters that it was even less bearable than the prequels.
	And seeing one screenshot of Rogue One was enough to convince me to skip it altogether.
	So I wasn't planning on seeing The Last Jedi.
	But after seeing certain articles being shared on social media, I thought, well, sheet.
	I can't miss out on some of this.
	I don't mean this to be a review necessarily, and there will be spoilers.
	But you can imagine my shock when I found after about 30 minutes into the movie that I was actually having a good time.
	The Last Jedi actually felt like a Star Wars movie, and the space battles are surprisingly well executed.
	But before we get into the details, we actually need to recap The Force Awakens, as The Last Jedi is a sequel to that movie, and not Rogue One.
	So after the Galactic Civil War puts an end to the Empire, the New Republic has taken over the galaxy, but for some reason their army is still called the Resistance.
	Somehow, the remnants of the Galactic Empire, a group of space Nazis called the First Order, who are even more Nazi-ish than before, have made another Death Star-style weapon out of a planet that is capable of not just blowing up other planets, but like three of them at once, because why the fuck not?
	This is being done under the auspices of the mysterious Darth Smeagol, who has pulled not only a new Death Star out of his rectum, but a fully equipped stormtrooper army and battle fleet with which he plans to conquer the galaxy.
	While in the process of doing this, the token black stormtrooper decides to defect to the resistance with his maybe gay lover, Po Solo.
	It turns out that La Resistance is being headed by Princess Leia, who turns out to be the worst general of all time.
	On some Tatooine replica planet, they bump into a pleb called Mary Sue and due to extreme plot contrivances, find the Millennium Falcon unguarded with the keys and the ignition and steal it to escape only to get captured by Old Man Han and fuck the plot of this movie, it's fucking ridiculous.
	Through a pointless series of events, Mary Sue finds Luke Skywalker's lightsaber before being captured by our young Darth Vader wannabe, Emo Ren.
	Without any training or even prior knowledge, Mary Sue realises that she has force powers and escapes using them, while the Death Star 3.0 is preparing to destroy Luke Skywalker's old rebel base, La Resistance Attack.
	It turns out that Emo Ren is the son of Old Man Han and Princess Leia, and for reasons that I don't give a shit about, Emo kills Han.
	La Resistance attack and destroy the new Death Star with X-Wings because whoever wrote this was a fucking hack, and Emo Ren and Mary Sue fight on the exploding planet's surface, with Mary Sue winning handily even though she's never used a lightsaber before, and Emo Ren was trained by Luke fucking Skywalker.
	But you know, he was injured.
	It was just like, it wasn't his best day.
	The film ends with Mary Sue travelling to an island on another planet to find Luke Skywalker to give his lightsaber back and tell him that he's shit at training Jedis.
	This brings us to the beginning of The Last Jedi, where a fleet of Nazi Star Destroyers have turned up to destroy a rebel base.
	La Resistance are evacuating the planet, but Po Solo decides to embark on a one-man mission against a fleet of Star Destroyers in an X-Wing, with the goal of destroying a Star Destroyer's gun turret so La Résistance can bomb the shit out of it.
	Princess Leia is opposed to the idea, but Po Solo persuades her to go through with it.
	La Resistance manage to take out a dreadnought but lose most of their bombers in the process, and this was only possible because the Space Nazis' command structure is bafflingly incompetent.
	We then cut to Mary Sue giving the lightsaber to Luke Skywalker.
	A long moment passes before Luke just tosses it over his shoulder like a total prick and tells her to get fucked.
	She won't take no for an answer of course and continues to pester him until she gets away.
	Turns out Luke is leading the world's least likely life in an ancient hermitage off the coast of Ireland and he's planning on living out his days there like a total coward because he's decided the Jedi religion deserves to get genocided for being a total failure.
	La Resistance decide to hyperspace out of trouble but find themselves neck deep in shit when they discover that the Space Nazis can still track them and turn up with their whole fleet.
	The Space Nazis attack, severely damaging the Corvette and blowing Princess Leia out in space, but it's okay because she uses the force to pull herself back on board like some kind of sci-fi Mary Poppins and is out of the action for about 30 minutes.
	The Space Nazis start pummeling the remaining fleet belonging to La Résistance, which consists of about one corvette and three frigates-ish.
	Their fleet is running low on fuel and can't just hyperspace out, so they start shuffling away as fast as their little thrusters can push them while Po Solo devises an escape plan.
	The Space Nazis can't catch them, but they can pummel them at range, picking off the frigates one by one.
	Meanwhile, Luke decides that he will train Mary Sue to be a Jedi, and what do you know?
	She turns out to be an amazing student, who picks up everything almost immediately.
	Back on the Corvette, an old woman announces to the remaining members of La Résistance that another old woman will be taking command, while emasculating Po Solo as much as humanly possible.
	Despite him being a captain, Vice Admiral Gender Studies pulls rank on him when he asks to know anything about the plan.
	She tells him to shut the fuck up and fall in line, while Token tries to get into an escape pod and join a franchise that hasn't been taken over by the gender Borg.
	Token bumps into a diversity hire who works as a pipe cleaner, and she captures him before he can escape.
	The diversity hire is the most forced character I've ever seen, devoid of all personality saved for, I'm an oppressed whammin and I want to be a hero.
	She unloads what little of her character exists onto Token without asking, who literally doesn't give a shit, but she acts like she's the most important character in the film and bores the tits off of everyone around her.
	The diversity hire takes Token some kind of rich planet where the 1% are living it up after apparently selling weapons to the Space Nazis.
	After establishing that capitalism and imperialism are bad, Token and the Diversity Hire get arrested by the cops for double parking.
	They are looking for an expert code breaker and they just happen to bump into one in the very jail cell in which they are placed, who joins them after helping them escape from inside the cell with some kind of keycard because why the fuck not.
	They escape but split up, but get conveniently picked up by Hackerman Chewy and Po Solo in the Millennium Falcon.
	While in hyperspace, the Diversity Hire cleaning lady has taken command of the ship, relegating Token to a prop in the background.
	Oh, and also Mary Sue can understand Chewy because fuck you.
	Mary Sue and Emo Ren have been having some kind of emotional affair via an unexpected telepathic connection which keeps interrupting her training.
	Through this mystic experience, she learns that Emo Ren did nothing wrong and that Luke tried to kill him first.
	She confronts Luke, fights him, defeats him, obviously, and insists that while Emo Ren might be a bad boy, she can change him.
	Luke stomps off angry, planning to burn down the sacred Jedi tree that contains the ancient Jedi texts, but the ghost of Yoda suddenly turns up and says, YOLO, before destroying it all with a fucking lightning strike.
	Luke says, what about the ancient text?
	And Yoda's ghost just replies, you haven't read them, they were boring.
	Also, Mary Sue just happens to know everything that was in the books, so we clearly won't be needing them.
	That's right, fuck your ancient texts.
	After getting the rest of the fleet destroyed, Vice Admiral Gender Studies bitches out Po Solo some more after he demands that the rest of them be told what's going on.
	It turns out that the new leader is just going to evacuate the Corvette.
	Po Solo enacts a mutiny against Vice Admiral Gender Studies, which ultimately fails because she's also a Mary Sue.
	By this time, Princess Leia is back on her feet and has not only recovered from her impromptu spacewalk, but has also armed herself with a stun gun with which she blasts Po Solo.
	Leia and Vice Admiral Gender Studies have a matronly moment with Po Solo's unconscious body, and Vice Admiral Gender Studies decides to stay behind after everyone has evacuated to pilot the Corvette until it's destroyed.
	The Millennium Falcon arrives next to the Space Nazi Star Destroyer and stays long enough to dump out Mary Sue like a runny shit so she can get captured by her boyfriend on the Star Destroyer, while Token uses Hackerman to hack into the Star Destroyer's shields, allowing them to sneak on board so they can disable the Hyperspace Tracker so the remnants of the fleet can escape.
	This was the Diversity Hire's one job, and before they can do it, they get captured by Brienne of Tarth.
	When Po Solo wakes up, the Wamen persuade him that their terrible plan of trying to sneak down to a nearby planet is foolproof, because the Space Nazis are only scanning for big ships, not escape pods.
	Po Solo forces himself to buy into this narrative and goes along with it, despite it being the dumbest plan imaginable.
	Hackerman gets bought off by the Space Nazis, and I can't explain how he knows this, but he just tells the Nazis that what remains of La Resistance is currently in escape pods escaping down to the planet.
	This leads to the Space Nazis leisurely blowing the defenseless escape pods up one by one.
	After being captured, Mary Sue gets utterly dominated by Darth Smeagle while she begs Emo Ren to turn on his master.
	Emo's bona gets the better of him, so like a good white knight, he uses his force powers like a remote control to murder Darth Smeagle with Luke's lightsaber, which just happens to be placed in a convenient spot for just the job.
	Emo Ren and Mary Sue proceed to fight and defeat Darth Smeagle's elite guards in the cringiest fight scene I've ever seen, with Mary Sue saving Emo Ren despite having had literally one day's worth of lightsaber training.
	After they win, Emo Ren says it's time to let old things die and kill them if necessary, and offers her the chance to establish real communism by tearing down the Space Nazis and La Resistance.
	Emo Ren may be a white knight, but he is red-pilled enough to tell her that she has no place in this story, before asking her to join him.
	Mary Sue instead tries to steal Luke's lightsaber from Emo Ren.
	With the Space Nazis enacting the final solution on La Resistance's few remaining ships, Vice Admiral Gender Studies decides to put the Corvette into Hyperdrive and fly straight through the Space Nazi fleet, destroying almost all of it by cutting the ships in half with her own.
	This is good news for Token and the Diversity Hire, who are about to be gruesomely executed by Brienne, but the destruction of the ship gives a metal testicle enough time to commandeer an ATST and help Token get into a stupid fight with Brienne, which he wins.
	They escape on a conveniently undamaged shuttle that is just sitting by the hangar exit.
	Mary Sue escapes after the Lightspeed suicide, and Emo Ren takes control of what remains of the Space Nazi forces and follows La Resistance to a base on the planet, which we're told is made of salt, presumably from the tears of anyone who used to give a flying fuck about the Star Wars franchise.
	The Space Nazis land and attack with guerrilla ATATs and a cannon that is powerful enough to cut through the giant door which represents the only way in or out of the base.
	There is a battle on the salt in which La Resistance gets utterly pasted by the Space Nazis until Token decides he's going to heroically save the day by crashing his ship into the cannon.
	Before he can do it, however, the fucking Diversity Hire crashes her ship into his, allowing the cannon to blast the shit out the base's door and dooming them all.
	In the wreckage of the two ships, Token crawls over to her and the Diversity Hire says, I saved you before sexually assaulting him, like she has no fucking idea of what's happening, but is sure that the script will somehow make the story end up in her favour anyway.
	Which it does.
	In the base, La Resistance realise they don't have any fucking allies, and that the Matriarchy has lost to the Patriarchy and that they need to escape.
	Luke Skywalker turns up out of nowhere to hold off Emo Ren and give La Resistance enough time to run away out of a newly discovered rear exit that has been blocked off by a landslide.
	Fortunately for them though, Mary Sue turns up outside of it and uses her awesome force powers to lift every fucking boulder in the landslide out of the way so everyone can escape in the Millennium Falcon.
	Emo Ren goes out to confront Luke on the salt, but it turns out that Luke's doing some kind of astral projection across the galaxy and he's actually sat safe and sound on his island on another planet.
	Not that it matters, as he just dies anyway and fades into nothing.
	On the Millennium Falcon, the six or so people who actually survived decide to run away and be the burning embers of a resistance that might or might not once again rise at some point in the distant future, but for now, the patriarchy remains victorious.
	Lightning.
	There is a very strong and obvious undercurrent of change throughout the new Star Wars films, which is often explicitly stated, such as when Luke throws his lightsaber over his shoulder, when Yoda rejoices at the destruction of the Jedi books.
	Emo Ren even says, let the past die, kill it if you have to, just in case all the other hints were too subtle for you.
	There is no reverence for any of the foundational structures of the story of the Star Wars universe, and instead the focus is on sweeping away the old stories as quickly as possible to make way for the new narrative order.
	As I'm not a fan of Star Wars, I'm not personally bothered by this, but it does seem rather ghoulish to dress up progressive politics in the skin of an otherwise beloved and apolitical franchise.
	What's worse is that the film is full of meta-jokes aimed at listless millennials in which the characters trivialise the danger in which they find themselves, as if none of the characters are taking their roles seriously in the movie and they know they're just reading from a script.
	Personally, I found this destroyed my immersion in what was otherwise actually a very well-told story, in what appeared to be a way of pandering to the audience, turning the characters into actors in a theatre performance and destroying the authenticity of the experience.
	La Résistance really do earn the title of Matriarchy.
	All the top positions are held by women, who are no less authoritarian than the Space Nazis, as the women of La Résistance are completely controlling towards the men, countermanding practically every initiative a man dreams up, with what essentially boils down to, I know better, also I'm in charge, so shut your misogyny hole.
	Po Solo's initiative at the beginning of the film is used as justification for pulling rank on them and belittling them generally.
	Even the diversity hire cleaning lady ends up relegating token sitting in the back and shutting his mouth as she takes control of the Millennium Falcon, which could not be a more perfect allegory for what the far left is doing to Star Wars.
	All of this moral authoritarianism is justified through the ethics of altruism, with the women condescendingly acting like they simply know better despite the fact that all of their decisions end up with La Résistance in a worse position than they were before, until the matriarchy is ultimately crushed by the Space Nazis' patriarchy.
	Frankly, the women of The Resistance come across like exactly the kind of bossy, drunk with power middle management types that, ironically, other women tend to hate, which is why women prefer male bosses.
	By comparison, the Space Nazis were a cartoonishly exaggerated caricature of masculine dominance hierarchies, in which every single character was portrayed as a raging egoist on the edge of snapping and going on a school shooting.
	This is no surprise given that each person in the hierarchy, starting with Darth Smeagel, abuses the people below them in front of their subordinates, undermining the subordinates' respect for them and forcing Emo Ren and General Ginger to act out like frustrated teenagers towards their own men.
	This is what the SJWs are complaining about when they screech about toxic masculinity.
	It's not about masculinity, it's about authority.
	So at this point you might think, why are you politicizing an innocent franchise like Star Wars?
	But hey, don't look at me.
	I didn't politicize it with progressive politics.
	The writers did.
	Back in The Force Awakens and then again in Rogue One.
	This tweet from the writer of Rogue One should tell you pretty much everything you need to know about the needless politicization of the Star Wars franchise.
	But in case you weren't sure, apparently it's not for the alt-right, and we're glad they're boycotting it.
	Not being a supporter of the alt-right, I didn't give a flying fuck, but as an English liberal, I did find the focus on celebrating SJW far-left politics pretty damn obnoxious, and this was happening before The Force Awakens was even released.
	We were treated such articles as The Diversity Awakens, which took part a long time ago in a galaxy of white men, in which the author proceeds to condemn all of Star Wars before The Force Awakens, because there aren't enough women and Negroes of colour, and the ones that do exist are George Lucas' attempts to keep a brother down.
	But this is just what JJ Abrams, the director of The Force Awakens, wants you to think, because that was the entire plan behind the diversity casting.
	In July 2015, Abrams appeared at a Comic-Con in San Diego, where he peacocked his progressive values.
	Two young Asian fans said that one of the reasons they enjoyed Abrams Star Trek so much was its diverse cast.
	They hoped to see the same for Star Wars, but could they expect any Asian characters in future films?
	To which Abrams replies, first I want to say, go Asians!
	But we totally didn't decide to let racial biases affect the casting of the movie, honest you guys, but by the way, have I told you recently how important representation is?
	It was odd to watch the LA Times wax on about how Star Wars now represented the diversity of our modern world, because that's exactly what the audience must want out of their science fantasy space operas, for them to look exactly like the world in which they live.
	But thank God Mary Sue has a sensible outfit.
	But you know what?
	It doesn't even matter if The Force Awakens sucked, because it's one small step for a woman, one giant leap for women kind.
	Diversity marches on towards a bright shining future in which no child will be white, straight, male, or able-bodied.
	It shouldn't come as a surprise that JJ Abrams pushed progressive politics into the films he's making, given how he's introduced diversity quotas into his production company Bad Robot in 2016 after the far left hashtag campaign OscarSoWhite.
	We're working to find a rich pool of representative kick-ass talent and give them the opportunity they deserve and that we can all benefit from.
	It's good for audiences and it's good for the bottom line.
	Well, don't let any kind of artistic integrity get in the way of what's good for the bottom line, JJ, and your rhetoric is so politically correct, who could possibly object?
	What are they?
	Racists?
	Bad Robot will reportedly work with its agency partner CAA and Studios Warner Bros and Paramount to ensure that women and minorities are submitted for writing, directing and acting jobs for the company in direct proportion to their representation amongst the US population.
	Plato would be so proud.
	His dream of a perfectly engineered republic is coming into view.
	And let's not forget that The Force Awakens has an explicitly feminist message.
	Mary Sue received glowing praise from the uh Mary Sue.
	Because women are large and in charge, regardless of the numerous personal faults of the characters or the manifest failures in their leadership that led to the end of La Résistance.
	The fact that they got to boss around the boys is enough to bring a tear to this sweet femini's eye.
	Feminism is a two-way street, and what I also love about The Force Awakens is its male characters and how the good guys reflect progressive gender norms.
	Absent were the violent, aggressive, controlling action heroes of days past, and in their place capable, respectful, vulnerable dudes.
	Feminist even.
	You heard the bossy lady folks.
	If you want to be a good feminist man, just bend the knee.
	All you have to do is kneel down, lower your head and say, yes ma'am, I have been a bad boy, and you are completely correct and I am completely incorrect, and I will do whatever you say.
	Doing.
	Because feminism is a two-way street.
	She commands, you obey, and that's the way it should be.
	Kylo, fittingly, is miserable.
	Constantly comparing himself to an outdated, impossible standard of manliness, Kylo is a clear example of how the patriarchy's emphasis on traditional gender norms hurts both men and women.
	Kylo hates himself for not being dark and man enough, for feeling love for his parents, for having feelings, for being human.
	And if there's one thing the patriarchy hates, it's humans.
	But how fitting is it that the Resistance's general is none other than Hudslayer and feminist icon, Leia Organa, and that Kylo Ren's chief rival will be the franchise's newest and brightest female protagonist, Rey, her power all light and feminism.
	I can't.
	I can't wait for Rey, Finn and Co to overthrow the patriarchy dark side and bring balance to the force.
	And I'm excited for this and coming generations to have Finn and Poe of examples of what heroes can be.
	And apparently what women and Negroes of colour can be is losers, at least according to the events of The Last Jedi.
	So it's something of a mystery as to why the critics absolutely loved watching a matriarchy get smashed, and the public was somewhat opposed to it.
	If you believe what you read on the internet, evil Nazi trolls decided to mass brigade the Rotten Tomatoes rating, which is proved by the difference in the scientific exit polling of moviegoers from the CinemaScore rating, at least according to comicbook.com, which incidentally has a user rating for the film of 3.4 out of 5, which is very similar to the Rotten Tomatoes user rating of 3.3 out of 5, which is also very similar to the 4.8 out of 10 that the Metacritic user reviews have given it,
	which is also very similar to the 3 out of 5 stars that the viewers at my local cinema gave it.
	Man, there are a lot of brigading trolls in my town, I guess.
	Nobody can really explain why a group of right-wing Nazi internet trolls would want to downvote a film in which the space Nazis crushed the feminist alliance.
	You'd think they'd be lining up to have troll-only screenings of it, which incidentally wouldn't be illegal.
	Let's have a look at some of the reviews.
	Everything I loved about the mysteries surrounding the Jedi and Force were destroyed.
	2 out of 5, says Adam from Gibraltar.
	Wow, that guy really hates women.
	Here's a review that suits the modern progressive intellectual with the correct opinions.
	With a strong female lead, this is a movie for today's society.
	5 out of 5, says Helen of Cornwall.
	And it sure is.
	And I just want to point out that I'm not calling Rey a Mary Sue for nothing.
	That's what Gizmodo called her while asking people to stop calling her a Mary Sue.
	Here's a few choice quotes.
	Is Rey, the film's hero, a Mary Sue?
	The answer is no.
	The term Mary Sue has broadened until it means any female character who is unrealistically talented or skilled.
	Is Rey unrealistically competent?
	She's a good pilot, and maybe figures out how to fly unfamiliar spaceships rather quickly, and she's strong in the force, learning to use force powers incredibly fast.
	Rey's prowess in this film is pretty incredible, considering she doesn't have Obi-Wan to train her.
	So yes, Rey is a tad unrealistic.
	Thanks for clearing that up, Gizmodo.
	But you know what?
	Star Wars will bother some people.
	Good.
	And who are those people?
	White men, aka racists.
	When someone says, I love having a Negro of colour in the film because I'm totally an anti-racist guy, look at me.
	And some fucking racist comes along and says something like, the day we stop making everything about race is the day we move forward, you can just look at his profile picture and say, says the white guy, and completely prove his point.
	Clearly, that guy falls into the second category of Star Wars reactionary.
	The guy complaining about the far left's obsession with race is clearly the misogynist, racist, classist, dark side of the populace that's always been present, wielding power in one form or another.
	In themes and plots, The Last Jedi asserts again and again that monolithic dominance isn't good for anyone.
	The movie isn't here to make the galaxy great again, it's here to tell the stories of the people who actually want to fix it.
	And they would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for the real villain of The Last Jedi, toxic masculinity!
	The Last Jedi is filled with male characters on both sides of the Dark Light divide, who cause and endure suffering because of their inability to deal with their emotions in healthy ways.
	And let us be very clear about this.
	Wasting your time dyeing your hair purple when you're in the middle of a war?
	Healthy.
	Forming an army of space Nazis and conquering the galaxy?
	Unhealthy.
	Men, learn to deal with your emotions like wamen and stop making Mary Sue do all the emotional labour for you.
	But remember, The Last Jedi is a step in the right direction when it comes to gender diversity, not only because it gives us more female characters with more to do, but because it refuses to glorify its male heroes in simplistic ways that create unrealistic, harmful expectations for everyone involved.
	True gender diversity in media and in real life will come by recognising that the system of patriarchy we live in benefits no one, not even the Po-Damerons of the world.
	It's weirdly profitable for feminists though, and it's really a lot like the church.
	They might spend all day complaining about Satan, but if he disappeared, what's really weird though, is that writer-director Ryan Johnson didn't even mean for this film to be a feminist treatise on how to smash the patriarchy.
	He said, quote, I don't think it's ever good to try and be current or try and speak directly to hot button issues with these movies.
	I think that if you just try and create a good drama, you speak to universal themes.
	And in following this advice, Johnson has created a movie so progressive even Comrade Corbyn would be proud of it.
	It's just a coincidence that the overall political narrative of The Last Jedi is that communism equals good and not communism equals genocide.
	You literally can't refute this.
	It also must be another coincidence that this is the most feminist Star Wars yet.
	And The Last Jedi doesn't just pass the Bechdel test, it aces it.
	This is the first truly Bechdel test passing scene in the history of the franchise.
	Female heroes are traditionally presented in cinematic isolation.
	This film gives us women working side by side, women in technical positions, and of course women learning the ways of the force.
	Check and mate patriarchy.
	As reported by The Guardian, in this new, post-Weinstein era of Hollywood filmmaking, every film is going to be 100% wamen or wamen of colour.
	Not a single white penis will be involved.
	Diversity isn't just prominent, it's completely taken over, and it's literally going to be the only thing you're going to be able to watch.
	It's going to be prime time, all-the-time baby, and you're fucking welcome.
	Which is incidentally why feminists are morally obliged to defend the Last Jedi in any other progressive Star Wars movies in the future.
	Do they need to worry about the misogynist backlash though?
	Fuck no.
	These MAGA-esque fanboys, the same that called Ray and Mary Sue, shaded Gizmodo, or lost their marbles over the 2016 all-female Ghostbusters reboot before it even hit theatres, have been spreading their overblown hatred all over social media.
	As you might imagine, those fans, who seem to take their cues from the First Order supremacists Hux and Kylo rather than Resistance heroes Ray, Finn and Poe, aren't very comfortable with the film's more progressive messages.
	Their hysteria-tinged reactions are best ignored like the fucking dirty peasants that they are.
	There are literally going to be no repercussions to the far left's takeover of the media you love at all.
	Don't listen to the old white men like some fucking jerk called Mark Hamill who was get this, opposed to the new eunuch-friendly version of Luke Skywalker.
	It's hard to imagine what a white male would know about playing Luke Skywalker, so just ignore this bullshit.
	But another white male pointed out that for Luke, victory is accepting his failure, which just proves that Luke Skywalker has become a male feminist ally.
	But ultimately, no matter what the hot takes try to tell you, Episode 8's legacy will not be decided or quantified this weekend.
