In the wake of this week's U.S. election, the symbol of Star Wars' Rebellion had been adopted by many fans protesting the victory of Donald Trump - and now, two of the writers of next month's Rogue One: A Star Wars Story have referenced the relationship between that movie and the current political reality on social media.
Chris Weitz tweeted the following Friday morning -
Please note that the Empire is a white supremacist (human) organization
- Chris Weitz (@chrisweitz) November 11, 2016
- with Gary Whitta, the original writer on the project, responding in kind:
Opposed by a multi-cultural group led by brave women. t.co/UUcjwflMWG
- Gary Whitta (@garywhitta) November 11, 2016
Weitz's tweet followed his praise for this op-ed piece from CBR.com, which explicitly connects Rogue One to this week's U.S. elections, with writer Brett White calling the movie "the most relevant movie of 2016," explaining, "When I look at the 'Rogue One' trailers, I see what I want from America. I see a multicultural group standing strong together led by a rebellious and courageous woman. That's what we are working towards, and what we will continue to work towards no matter what. That's what America - a land created as a haven for the persecuted, to be able to realize their limitless dreams - was created to be." web.archive.org/web/20161115104434/https://www.yahoo.com/movies/rogue-one-writers-connect-election-star-wars-empire-193501053.html
It must be nice being this detached from reality. America was created by white men, white men who were fed up with a corrupt system where they were getting the shit end of the stick. Good luck removing that form the history books.
But back to the topic at hand, I'm glad Disney is going full propaganda. The lats thing white men need right now is escapism. They need to wake up to the reality that the niggers, the kikes, the cucks, and feminists want them dead. They need to wake up to the war at hand.

Pathetic, LOL.

I love it when they confirm what we accuse them of.

It's great isn't it? All the cucks saying, "It's just a movie, it's just entertainment, don't take it seriously!" about The Force Awakens now have no legs to stand on. Of course they'll say the same things about this one because they're delusional manchildren who need an escape from reality, but it feels nice to be vindicated.

It was the same with Avatar. People were noticing it was green propaganda, journos were denying it and then Cameron himself confirmed it.
Isaac Diaz
This is far more insidious than Avatar. Avatar was an original film, this is the hijacking of a pre-existing part of American culture. Whites kids grew up with Star Wars, what the kikes are doing to it now really is a form of cultural cucking.
Chase Moore
Why? It's not like its news that Holla Forums is always right.
