The Last Jedi is the greatest pop culture movie of the 21st Century. Fandom has become nothing but entitled and insular and this film was a hand grenade into that microcosm. I remember laughing to myself all through the cinema showing at what the reaction would be online.

Disney were then faced with a decision that has marked their entire corporate outlook since: push forward with brave new ideas or capitulate to whiny online communities.

There is an alternate universe where Duel of the Fates got made and Star Wars is still great.
