1. Strawman. No one said it was only about the woman. The fact that they present her on the main lines as a badass with a prosthetic arm, while bashing anyone who disagrees with their strong, independent wamen as uneducated, is.

2. True. But, the anti-SJWs are growing as SJWs get more outrageous and cocky about their false belief that they are in the majority and must force their beliefs into all media, especially already established IPs.

3. LMAO!! Sure, sure. You keep telling yourself that. TLJ only underperformed by ~$470M. Even ~$270 below adjusted projections. Hell, it even underperformed my pessimistic prediction of ~$1.4B. And badly timed? I guess in the sense that it came out after TLJ. 

1. That argument is overblown by both sides, IMHO it was just a poorly made and confusing trailer

2. I'm not going to go into that since I don't put myself in either camp.

3. The Last Jedi netted a giant profit for Disney, your projection of underperforming by over $400M seems like something you pulled out of nowhere. On top of that, it sold like hot cakes on Blu-Ray.

1.  It hardly has all the downvotes and highly rated comments pertaining to the woman and EA's reaction to it, simply due to it being "confusing."

3.  Profit?  Yes.  The amount they were planning on? No.  Not even close.  And no, I didn't pull it out of nowhere.  The movie was supposed to pull in ~$1.8B WW, possibly more.  BOM said that $750M-$830M in the US/Canada was a safe bet.  And judging by the opening weekend, it was headed there.  But, then the 2nd weekend saw a massive 68% drop.  After the drop, analysts were saying it would still hit $1.6B WW.  It missed even the adjusted goal.  Of course, there's also the fact that Disney saw a massive drop in SW merchandise sales.  Then, many fans protested Solo, partly because of its own SJW messaging, but also because of how much TLJ turned them off from the series, which led to the first ever SW flop.  And not even a minor flop, either.  My pessimistic projection for that film was ~$800M WW.  It only did half of that.

Like they say.  Get woke, go broke.
