It's weird to hear of your journey after the TFA and the trashed Jedi...I was 16yrs old when I first saw Star Wars back in 1977...I lived in Buenos Aires Argentina, we did not speak any English and yet my friend and I sat in the theatre in amazement... we had to go several times...we had to read the subtitles to fully understand...but it was incredible all the same... So when it came to the Force Awakens I was also so pumped (my son and two daughters came with me, 3 younger brothers-in-law and their children plus several friends with their children... we were a crowd)... And right after the movie ended we came out of the theatre in silence...no one liked it, I did not understand... the trailers were so good! I still feel that the trailers that came before the released of TFA were the best thing that has come out from the Disney era...the only good thing...but nothing prepared me for the trashed Jedi...I have never hated a movie and it's director so much! Now, just like the war doctor in Doctor Who all I say is...no more, no more! For the last 40 years I have lived in Australia and I'm greatfull to be bilingual so I can hear and understand you all...so know this...you are not alone on this journey... there is a world outside the USA who also hates what KK, JJ, Disney and that Johnson has done to Star Wars... most of us (non born english speakers) can only vote with our wallets but... voted we have...So thank you! You are the spark that started the fire that is consuming Disney and Lucasfilm... You are the ones that are keeping the dream alive!

Thank you all for your obvious passion for Star Wars. I am one of the lucky fans that saw the Original Trilogy during their original runs in 77-83. I also loved the Prequels. When Disney announced they had purchased Star Wars I had just recently suffered two strokes. Needless to say that when The Force Awakens arrived a couple of years later, I was disappointed to find nothing more than a greatest hits album with a handful of a new (forgettable) tracks. I loved Rogue One, but The Last Jedi was honestly a slap in the face for me as a Star Wars fan. Star Wars has helped with my depression and all the things the strokes left me to deal with. What upsets me is that Disney doesn't seem to care about what made Star Wars great. Again, thank you all for your passion and I am a black male by the way.

Shot out from over the Pacific Ocean here! I’m 23 and I’ve been watching since I was six. It fair to say that watching is a hobbies of me and my family. Nowadays movie are filled with politics, bad writing and special effects( not that they’re not awesome). It’s just really easy what the story was about after a while. Where else the old movies or some independent movies are so beautiful and well written that you would remember for lifetime. As a college student who’s about to graduate to face the harsh world. Movie and Tv series is kinda like an escape for me. Thank you the peoples in Fandom Menace and all the KZbinrs for all the laughter you’ve brought me.

If someone's made up their mind that you're a Disney shill, just because you might have tried to do something positive about the sequels, or if you "remotely" liked the sequels (with reservation), in their minds, you're a POS SJW and nothing you say will convince them otherwise.

Star Wars is dead. Long live the legacy left from the first originals, and even the three prequels. But this bs we are dealing with now, bringing back iconic characters for the mere purpose of killing them or mocking them is absurd.

[@FoolishPrince]

My anger began when Lucas sold the franchise and Disney scrapped away the EU AND Georges plans/outline for the sequel trilogy; also when i discovered that "Prequel hating" had a lot to do with him selling it in the first place ... Then my anger was kindled when TFA came out with something truly inferior. But i kept my hopes up; star Wars was special to me and i wanted to share it with my father, who took me to all the star wars movies and i wanted to keep that going. Then TLJ came out... My father took me to see 6 fantastic star wars films (the OT was re-released in the 90s) and how do i repay him? Taking him to this bullshit... I'm a Barber, and every Star wars fan that came to the shop were OT purists, who hated the PT but still loved the "ST". I felt alone on this hunk of rock, floating in a void. So i googled and youtubed, reaching out to try and find people who shared my opinion, at least somewhat: i found "Mauler" and "geeks and gamers"...

[@evertonporter7887]

We all know in our hearts what led Lucas to sell Star Wars to Disney, don't we! I saw the sadness in his eyes when he made that announcement back in 2012. He wanted to do so much more with this franchise. Sadly, when he signed it all away, he effectively washed his hands of it all and walked away. Looking back, I'm glad he did so for the sake of his own health and sanity. Now we can only wonder, "If only...".

I took my kids to see the original trilogy when they were first released. Just like *everybody* else, I loved them, and even thought that the prequels were okay. Just okay, but not totally offensive. After hearing the first commentaries about TLJ before I’d even decided if I wanted to see it, I knew I was done. Just done. The thing that made me decide not to spend my money on it was the throwing of the light saber over the shoulder. Why should I give them my money if they cannot respect the storytelling that would excite the fans? So, just like a lot of people, I am done with Star Wars. And, for the record, I am not a white male. I am a black woman “of a certain age” (retired), and just as much of a fan as you guys are, and agree with everything you are saying. The disrespect that the people at Disney are showing for the very people who give them money for their own paychecks is absolutely unconscionable. One thing that they forget is that people who spend money for their products are using discretionary income. Unlike big government where taxes are extracted out of you, people can decide whether or not they’re going to spend money on Disney. I have decided not to spend money on Disney. If millions of people decided to do the same thing, maybe then they would begin to listen. I could go on…

Why did RJ and KK think putting an agenda over story be a good idea? Plus it's just a bad story, bad writing and when you have Mark Hamill disagreeing on mostly what you've done to his character, you know you've got a problem.

Nice Fandom Menace emblem on the middle of the screen there. Needs to be on a shirt.

[@warrenrohr]

Fantastic video! I’m proud to be a part of The Fandom Menace and will support this Go fund me for sure!

[@trevorblair9062]

Episode 8 was the worst movie ever made. Next to Solo. I actually kind of liked Rogie one.

[@BunBun299]

Clearly you've never seen Birdemic or Samuai Cop. There are many worse movies than The Last Jedi. That said, it was still pretty bad.

[@Justin_Anvil]

Wow - Jeremy got time to pod with a couple of dudes, but ain’t got time for de high council ;-)

[@jediknightjairinaiki560]

Great discussion. Well stated PoVs.

[@RaverElite1]

hey guys, shout out from down under! I dont have kids, but I do have a niece that I exposed to Star Wars when she was young and she is a mega fan like me. We loved the Clone Wars tv show and thought Rebels was ok, too. Thanks to Uncle George being at the wheel, and Dave Filoni understanding Star Wars and its fans. We both smelled a rat but were open to Episode 7, when it arrived. As far as we were concerned, the story of the Skywalkers had been fulfilled and we were content. We too, were disgusted at Luke's treatment and the rest of the Legacy characters, that have been destroyed, by Rian Johnson and JJ Abrams. The sequel trilogy is abhorrent to us. It is not Star Wars. It is not necessary. When we think of Star Wars, we think of hope, sacrifice, redemption, family, forgiveness, understanding and great characters that matter. Australia isn't as 'woke' as the US yet, thank fuck. We still call 'shit' shit! I want to address this SJW nonsense too. Princess Leia. Strong female lead. Shouldn't have to mention that she is female, because she is a character, in a film, that we can all identify with and be proud of and root for. I could go on but won't. That my niece and I are considered to be a racist, mysognist, sexist, etcetera because we were appauled by the unnecessary sequels and the equally poorly developed storylines, treatment of Legacy characters and just disgusting treatment of our thoughts on the subject, astounds us both. I will see this final installment, in cinemas, in December. With my niece. But only because we need to know how much Disney hates us as fans. Rant over. lol

[@RaverElite1]

I want to also say that I watched the OT in theatres here in Australia and the Prequel trilogy, here in Australia, in theatres. I loved Rogue One, aswell. Proof, atleast in my mind, that Disney can do Star Wars justice, if they want to.

[@Pitsspit]

The Fandom menace is the outlet of the righteous anger of a community. It will not waver.. it is the hope that the collective impact of our opinions would ultimately save SW.

[@elisown4489]

Great vid guys! So many out here are with you, keep swinging for us

[@Mamba199]

Without respect we Reject We r the fandom menace, great interview

[@Vietnam_Chr0nicles]

What they did to Luke can never be forgiven

[@Matej_Sojka]

It was said many times that fall of franchises in last few years will have books written about it and be taught in business and art schools. And it began.

[@redcr24]

Preach Steven! 🔥🙌🏻

[@JackQSmith]

Love this video and these guys!

And soon we shall INVADE NABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@andybrummel5555]

a family online united in disgust over the real dark side of things. We are not alone.

[@PlanetaArcadia]

That manifesto is brilliant.

[@vezner]

This video rocks! It reminds me that I’m not alone.

[@Fred63205]

I think it has been interesting watching channels be created or finally become known, speak out of passion, then become all about the money

[@colorin81colorado]

It's weird to hear of your journey after the TFA and the trashed Jedi...I was 16yrs old when I first saw Star Wars back in 1977...I lived in Buenos Aires Argentina, we did not speak any English and yet my friend and I sat in the theatre in amazement... we had to go several times...we had to read the subtitles to fully understand...but it was incredible all the same... So when it came to the Force Awakens I was also so pumped (my son and two daughters came with me, 3 younger brothers-in-law and their children plus several friends with their children... we were a crowd)... And right after the movie ended we came out of the theatre in silence...no one liked it, I did not understand... the trailers were so good! I still feel that the trailers that came before the released of TFA were the best thing that has come out from the Disney era...the only good thing...but nothing prepared me for the trashed Jedi...I have never hated a movie and it's director so much! Now, just like the war doctor in Doctor Who all I say is...no more...no more! For the last 40 years I have lived in Australia and I'm greatfull to be bilingual so I can hear and understand you all...so know this...you are not alone on this journey... there is a whole world outside the USA who also hates what KK, JJ, Disney and that Johnson has done to Star Wars... most of us (non born english speakers) can only vote with our wallets but... voted we have...So thank you! You are the spark that started the fire that is consuming Disney and Lucasfilm... You are the ones that are keeping the dream alive!

[@daytonafalls]

This was fantastic!

[@BamBamBigelow..]

Disney angered me, and I was originally angry when they got their greedy hands on this

[@daneyal7162]

Heroes and villains alike sometimes create their own greatest enemies, and Disney Star Wars are villains who created the fandom menace, that keeps on criticizing them.

[@JackPool-lq8ux]

I think it’s marvel, Star Wars and other franchises going woke, Not just Star Wars, that created the Fandom Menace

[@dwightgrant6360]

True. Most fans follow many franchise's. Some don't. They underestimated the fans.

[@Gsmooth84]

Woke = Attack on Men

[@FoolishPrince]

@gorgoroth1919 i can't speak for everybody else... My anger began when Lucas sold the franchise and Disney scrapped away the EU AND Georges plans/outline for the sequel trilogy; also when i discovered that "Prequel hating" had a lot to do with him selling it in the first place ... Then my anger was kindled when TFA came out with something truly inferior. But i kept my hopes up; star Wars was special to me and i wanted to share it with my father, who took me to all the star wars movies and i wanted to keep that going. Then TLJ came out... My father took me to see 6 fantastic star wars films (the OT was re-released in the 90s) and how do i repay him? Taking him to this bullshit... I'm a Barber, and every Star wars fan that came to the shop were OT purists, who hated the PT but still loved the "ST". I felt alone on this hunk of rock, floating in a void. So i googled and youtubed, reaching out to try and find people who shared my opinion, at least somewhat: i found "Mauler" and "geeks and gamers"... What the fuck is your story?

[@FoolishPrince]

@gorgoroth1919 oh nice shot, i really felt that, tactfully well done: right in the fellas... I meant, what brought you here to "geeks and gamers"? Please, share your Story. I'm sure it's better and more Noble than mine.

[@TheeAmethystEmpress6589]

@@FoolishPrince I'm wondering the same. ........ This is me waiting for what brought them here to just argue. ...waiting..... Waiting......
