Can not watch this with a sell out actor.

What’d obi wan do?

[@danmosley4387]

@@francis1769He betrayed the true role of the Lucas Star Wars character and took money to play an imposter written by woke, social agenda pushing kids, to get a payday and then labeled his critics as toxic. When in fact this was his 'luxury belief' that gave him status at the expense of the lessor class. I have never watched anything else by him since. I vote with my dollars and attention.

[@crazyquilt]

@@danmosley4387Sure, Dan. Reading your reply, I can't imagine why MacGregor might be weary of some Star War fans.

[@danmosley4387]

@@crazyquilt Do you believe that MacGregor didn't call fans toxic?

[@crazyquilt]

@@danmosley4387 I know that "true role" gave me a true lol
