Rian Johnson Responds to 'Star Wars' Fans Who Didn't Like the Representation in the New Movies
"If someone's responding to diversity negatively, f*** 'em."
It's been two years since
Star Wars: The Last Jedi came out, creating a divide in the fandom. While the movie was praised for building on the female representation that started with
The Force Awakens (in addition to new female protagonist Rey, Rose Tico and Admiral Holdo both played important roles), this development displeased a
small corner of longtime fans.
Director Rian Johnson has just responded to those who criticized the diversity of the movie, saying simply: "If someone's responding to diversity negatively, fuck 'em."
He made the remarks during an appearance at the WIRED25 Summit, where he took to the stage with
Captain America star
Chris Evans following a screening of their new movie
Knives Out. Johnson said that he enjoys the discussions around the movies, as they are "part and parcel of being a
Star Wars fan," adding: "A very small slice of [the fandom] is not representative of the lion's share," and "95 per cent of my interactions on Twitter are lovely and constructive and wonderful... Star Wars fans are the best fans in the world."
"I always feel like I have to say the negative stuff gets written about so much because it's fun to write about and it gets clicks," he said. He also expressed surprise at the notion that
The Last Jedi was the first
Star Wars movie to be deemed "bad."
"I was in my twenties when the prequels came out, and this idea that it's always been sunshine and roses and now suddenly people are yelling at each other has always been baffling to me," he said. "People care deeply about
Star Wars, and each person has a slightly different version of what they think
Star Wars is... and so much the fun of it is arguing about it!"

Isso mesmo, FDP. Ataque todos que não aceitaram a diversidade
forçada inserida na m**** do seu filme, quando falta pouco mais de um mês para a estreia do Episódio IX... Pensando bem, isso pode muito bem ser Ruin Johnson tentando se vingar da Disney, por ter capado sua trilogia. Se for assim:
