Star Wars: The Last Jedi might be enjoying critical and commercial success, however a certain portion of the fanbase has been very vocal about the outrage they’ve been feeling over the film’s attempts at subverting fan expectations. Why was Snoke killed off too early in the trilogy? Why was did Rey have to be a nobody when she should have been the secret daughter of Obi-Wan Kenobi? Why in the world did The Last Jedi have to humanize Luke and turn him into a jaded and bitter hermit instead of the benevolent hero everyone wants him to be?
Some very vocal fans have a lot to complain about The Last Jedi, and the backlash has gotten so intense that some have been busy asking Disney to erase Rian Johnson’s Star Wars film from the official canon.
Riding on this intense wave of outrage, Nerdist has decided to create a fiction opening crawl for Episode IX that imagines what it would be like if Lucasfilm bent down to fan’s demands.
Check it out down here:
First suggesting that The Last Jedi’s Luke was just a clone of everyone’s favorite hero who’s still “alive and ready to do some badass stuff that he never got to do before,” the crawl goes on to include every ridiculous demand that fans have been making, like Kylo Ren keeping his helmet and Snoke staying alive. Everything’s very silly really, and the crawl made by Nerdist serves as a reminder that sometimes fans don’t really know what they want.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi is currently screening in cinemas.
