>>101531716>AnakinHe was a kid. Of course he wouldn't be able to handle that backlash.
>Jar-JarOne of the most hated characters in the film series. Being unable to cope with the backlash is a mental problem, though still tragic.
>Finn"Endure" is a strong word, especially given how #BoycottStarWarsVII was met with an immediate backlash and counter-protest. Boyega made statements, but likely felt no long-term stress.
>RoseIt was never confirmed if Kelly Marie Tran deleted her Instagram account due to troll comments. The timing was suspicious, yes, but only alleged.
>ReyThe same applies to Daisy Ridley. Her account deletion came after a backlash to a post on gun violence; again, the deletion was never confirmed to have been a direct response to that backlash.
>George LucasThis one is actually a bit interesting. In a 2015 interview with Vanity Fair, Lucas is quoted as saying:
>You go to make a movie and all you do is get criticised, and people try to make decisions about what you’re going to do before you do it[, and] it’s not much fun. You can’t experiment. You have to do it a certain way. I don’t like that, I never did. I started out in experimental films and I want to go back to experimental films.Dobson' juxtaposition of the non-contextual claim that Lucas wasn't having fun making "Star Wars" films anymore with the previous five anecdotes is a fallacy.
>Kylo RenHaving not yet watched any of the newer "Star Wars" films, but having had some knowledge of TFA and TLJ via osmosis, I can only read this final bit as a simplification of a more complex character being utilized as a strawman of sorts to illustrate a faceless enemy that is also more complex than Dobson cares to investigate.
