Rogue One was not divisive lol. I hesitate to even call Last Jedi divisive outside of internet message boards. No one hates Star Wars more than Star Wars fans.
And to answer your question, yes there are plenty.
I don't necessarily hate the idea of "hero Luke who goes on to be space Jesus for a few decades after ROTJ", but damn if that isn't a boring take compared to what we got: Luke as reluctant mountain monk right out of a samurai/kung fu flick.
RT also has an average rating, located right underneath the percentage.
I have star wars fans in my family that voted for Trump...and they loved the EU books cloned Emperors, Han fighting Otter People, Chewie's death by moon and all. Maybe there's a sub-set of star wars fans that lean right/think Rey was a Mary Sue and are now defending the prequels who hated TLJ? Are these the same fuckers who posted a change.org petition to remove Treverow and replace him with George Lucas?
I say both.
It's a critically acclaimed film that is smashing at the box office.
I'd say it's worth a look.
it can be
its an odd film, people watch it and love it, and other people watch it and get literally nothing from it
Film critics -- people who studied to understand filmmaking for a living -- gave the movie a 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
"Hey did you hear? The Last Jedi is getting reviewed pretty well on Rotten Tomatoes."
"LIES. DECEPTIONS."
This is all part of my devious plot to restore honor to DC fans.
Next up: shave Dan Didio's mustache.

IMO it's the best Star Wars movie released in my lifetime. But to do that it had to break some comforting rules about SW movies that have alienated people.
Not that different from the push against the mainstream media tbh. As soon as there's enough mass on the internet, they'll attack the old guard.
Wonder what happened when someone told them A New Hope is built around the biggest plot hole of the century and OT Luke is a Gary Stu.
Fandoms suck.
Fandoms suck.
depending on your age, that sounds more impressive than it actually is heh
Born right after ROTJ. :)
Didn't love TFA and what else is there to compete for best.... ROTS?
Firstly, it's not just for Star Wars reviews. If you actually read the petition, you'd see its more about anger centred around differences in critic and public opinion for numerous movies, not just Star Wars. Add to that, it only has 640 signatories.
It's not just movie critics. This is part of a larger populist cultural pushback against figures of authority. Whether it's something as simple as critics reviewing a Batman movie or something as important as scientists talking about climate change or the economy, massive portions of the American public have decided that the "wisdom of the crowd" (aka "whatever fake news poll I saw on my Facebook feed") is more valuable than the wisdom of authority figures and people with education and knowledge. Trump is obviously the largest and most notable manifestation of this concept; a man who completely rejects the intelligence or authority of anyone that is not himself and demands his followers do the same.
The weird, conspiratorial behavior that connects stuff like Trump voters and the alt-right and Gamergate and DCEU stans is not a coincidence, it's part of a major failing of our society as a result of the internet's absolute free speech (allowing charlatans to spread falsehoods) and the democratization of information. Everyone is an expert now.
I'm glad we have ScreenRant to draw our attention to these pressing issues.
I find the very common conspiracy theory that anyone that doesn't like Star Wars: the Last Jedi is an alt-right instigator because obviously no one could dislike Star Wars to be a lot funnier than the backlash against Star Wars.
These people aren't fans, they're just crazy assholes. Star Wars fans who have legitimate criticisms with the movie have been discussing them like rational humans instead of just trying to shut all conversation down and being loud obnoxious douchewangers.
You mean disney movies. The conspiracy here is that critics are giving Disney movies a pass.
Is it really that hard to believe that Disney is simply releasing quality movies?
Not divisive? What? Hop into The Last Jedi thread and you'll see plenty of it. And I've heard plenty of it outside message boards as well...not that I need to. Message boards are filled with real people and their opinions mean just as much...I don't know...not message boards...? I can't think of a movie that has caused more.
I'm going to make a ridiculous statement by saying that maybe websites shouldn't be bringing attention to this sort of thing.
This is the hot take of the year.
I thought TLJ was pretty bad and so did most folks I've spoken to but that's no reason to block reviews.
It's screenrant. They make articles on literally everything.
I didn't realise it was so easy to make multiple accounts on change.org what the hell, you don't even need a valid email?
Yep, it's why science sites like phys.org are swamped by ridiculous posts in its comments sections. Everything is fake, everything is a lie, everyone is wrong.
Sooooo why even like... make a thread about it, it's nothing :p
Fans on message boards barely make up 1% of the audience. People who hop on the internet more often than not come to complain.
ScreenRant is a clickbait headline blog.
Not that these people doing the petition aren't idiots. But 250 idiots signing an online petition because they didn't like a movie isn't really news.
That being said, TLJ is amazing and it's important to point that out in yet another thread!
