Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is almost unquestionably the most highly-anticipated film of 2016. And, of course, as with any major Star Wars release, the film became the subject of intense online scrutiny months before its release, thus generating word-of-mouth that usually serves as free advertising for Disney. Now, however, a week before it hits theaters, Rogue One is at the center of a heated debate that could wind up hurting its box office receipts for the most bizarre reason imaginable. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Trailer Released! Watch Now! Past Star Wars controversies have centered around mixed responses to story developments within the franchise, or retroactive changes to the original films. Sadly, the Rogue One debate has taken a much more sinister tone that says more about our nation’s current political climate than about George Lucas’ film franchise. On Thursday, the hashtag #DumpStarWars began trending on Twitter, and it quickly became clear to any fan who investigated that this was not the result of some spirited critiques of the series’ creative shortcomings. While it’s unclear how it originated, the hashtag has proven popular among white nationalists and members of the “alt-right,” both movements that have been tied to the KKK and other hate groups. The most common complaint is that the film (which the outraged have not yet seen) is “anti-white” and espouses a “feminist agenda,” because the cast is multi-cultural and the film’s main character is a woman. The baffling outrage began back when the first Rogue One trailer was released online several months ago, with YouTube commenters describing the film as “nothing but a Jew masturbation fantasy of anti-White hate.” The bigoted movement gained steam back in November, when two of the film’s screenwriters, Chris Weitz and Gary Whitta, pointed out that the Empire has always been an obvious metaphor for Hitler’s regime. “Please note that the Empire is a white supremacist (human) organization,” Chris Weitz tweeted. Whitta retweeted the statement, adding: “Opposed by a multi-cultural group led by brave women.” Indeed, fantasy and science-fiction films and literature have a long history of advancing (usually left-wing) political causes, but don’t tell that to the chronically butthurt boycotters who are currently stamping their tiny feet and holding their breath til they turn blue all over social media. Some lowlights (complete with newly-trendy #FakeNews): “Stop using your multiculturalism anti-American agenda in a science fiction Disney movie. We just want to enjoy a fun movie.” “Just got a full refund on my Rogue One tickets. Keep your politics out of my galaxy.” “Star Wars writers rewrote and reshot Rogue One to add in Anti Trump scenes calling him a racist. Disgusting.” “Rogue One is an anti-Trump propaganda film. BOYCOTT!!! Trump supporters!” “#DumpStarWars Race baiting will not be tolerated.” On the sane side, the situation might be best summed up by David Slack, who tweeted: “If Star Wars — an obvious allegory about Nazism — feels like an attack on your candidate, the problem isn’t with Star Wars…” Of course, our favorite #DumpStarWars tweet belongs to the incomparable Patirck Monahan, who writes: “After the election they changed the title of ROGUE ONE to DONALD TRUMP HAS A TINY WIENER? I’ll be spending my money elsewhere!” On point as always, @PattyMo. As for the anticipated impacted on the film’s bottom line – something tells us Disney will be just fine.
Keke Palmer is known for being open and honest about literally everything. She really is just a gift that way. She never holds back, she’s always a delight, and honestly, we’re just so glad that the world worked out in a way that we get to experience her wondrousness firsthand. For her latest act of greatness, Keke took it upon herself to defend none other than Kylie Jenner. See, our girl got a little upset after seeing this meme of Kylie that had been making the rounds: The meme shows Kylie back in 2012, when she was just 15 years old, before all the changes she’s made to her looks. Back then, according to the photo, people used to say “Kylie’s so ugly! Why can’t she just grow up?” It shows that photo beside a current photo of Kylie, one that showcases all her (alleged!) surgical enhancements . But the new Kylie apparently has people saying “Ew, Kylie’s so fake! What happened to her?” Yes, it seems like poor Kylie, in the eyes of many, has always been in a sort of “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situation when it comes to her appearance . That’s awful. And Keke simply will not stand for it. She shared the meme, and along with it, she shared this lengthy but heartfelt message: After Trump’s win, I really was convinced that we have become so obsessed with making things appear to be real than needing them to actually BE real. AKA: Reality [television emoji] , that’s the gag. Reality television is based off of the desire WE HAVE to see non scripted shows that MIMIC reality, “false things appearing real” that’s the ART of it, how they can make us THINK it is. And many social media platforms support that same thing. We have settled for knock off truth in our actual reality because it’s socially acceptable to lie for likes. Looking at this photo above I couldn’t help but stop dead in my tracks because even though I do feel like this family sets an example that it’s good to change for societies affection, how can you blame them? We don’t think that this young woman deserves the attention she receives because of the message it sends but we don’t even think about the fact that for years the whole world damn near agreed that she was ugly. A CHILD, that girl was a child and she was bullied and named ugly, and not as a character but as HERSELF … And unlike some that experience such ridicule she had the $$$ to change, she “fixed” what the world said was broken and it worked! Now you are mad that it was that easy? When the generation has already been force fed to love things that are false and appear as real. We are confused! So many of us on who we should be and how we should act, who we should like and how we should pursue them. It’s all been brought to another level because being fraudulent is our countries most popular trend. If only we could accept one another instead of bullying each other into change. We wouldn’t be so confused or misunderstanding all of these mixed messages that ultimately tell us to trade attention for respect and love for possession. We could instead let our differences TEACH us something new instead of walking around looking, acting and being the same. WE DIFFERENT FOR A REASON. Preach, Keke. Preach.
