In June, the web set free a collective chuckle when a self-proclaimed “team of producers” began up a marketing campaign (and do not forget the Twitter account!) calling on Disney to Remake The Last Jedi.
The shadowy, elusive and unnamed particular person or individuals (form of just like the Satoshi Nakamoto of poisonous fandom) promised to do the story once more and do it proper this time, dammit.
We laughed, we teased after which all of us realised that Disney, an organization that paid four BILLION HUMAN DOLLARS to purchase the rights to Star Wars, was undoubtedly not going to let this occur. And then, like 1,000,000 voices that instantly cried out to tease these guys, we fell silent.
But now the RTLJ crew are again, and guys, they’re nonetheless tremendous critical about making the film (even when they are not precisely execs on the entire idea of crowdfunding and mental property).

“We are a small team of producers, female and male, that only wish to see our beloved Star Wars franchise come back to life through compelling storytelling.”
See! Women might be dudebros too!
“We tried to be clear that we would cover the budget for a remake of The Last Jedi if Disney shared the intellectual property.”
C’mon, they do not need Disney to pay for the film. They simply need Disney at hand over the IP that it spent $four billion on to a bunch of unnamed individuals on the web. This-is-fine-dog-dot-gif.
“The fan pledges on our website are to draw attention to the fact that it is not a small minority of racist and misogynistic fans that were disappointed with The Last Jedi, but a majority of fans who have settled in disinterest.”
Their crowdfunding website — which permits individuals to pledge cash to the movie with out really offering fee particulars or any proof to again up their pledge — is clearly completely legit. Plenty of individuals have pledged their unicorn cash, and I’m positive none of them are trolling this enterprise within the slightest.
“Disney is in a difficult position. They’ve written themselves into a corner and will have to make bold decisions to get out of it.”
It’ll probs be alright I reckon.
“Going back and remaking The Last Jedi is the only way to save the franchise.”
Would you say it is (ahem) your solely hope?
“We’ve been right about everything so far and they’re listening…”
I do not suppose that phrase means what you suppose it means.
“May the force be with you”
…And additionally with you.
