They’ve hired a stellar art director, this will be fun to see.

"J.J. Abrams: ‘Star Wars’ Fans Who Didn’t Like ‘Last Jedi’ Are ‘Threatened’ By Women"
Uh-oh...
"J.J. Abrams: ‘Star Wars’ Fans Who Didn’t Like ‘Last Jedi’ Are ‘Threatened’ By Women"
Warning- There's a lot of Abrams virtue singling here:

He's clearly insulated from the majority of grievances about TLJ and being feed BS by the people at Lucasfilm.
Either that, or he drank Kathleen Kennedy's Kool-aid.
Crappy journalism....and click bait....
What a trash article....

1. Cites long-debunked "alt right conspiracy" regarding Rotten Tomatoes reviews as fact.
2. By regurgitating the same old cherry-picked review comments, perpetuates the false narrative - established early by left-leaning journalists - that backlash was in regards to women/diversity, not bad storytelling and film's treatment of the #1 icon of Star Wars, Luke.
3. Is an interview with JJ, long known as the very worst virtue signalling personality in Hollywood (his comments on casting of TFA are chuckle-worthy in their self aggrandizement) and... cites him making of his extremely attractive model-esque wife "co-CEO" of his production company as proof of his stand on equality?
4. Contains the latest LOL JJ quote defending TLJ: "You can probably look at the first movie that George did (ANH) and say that Leia was too outspoken, or she was too tough. Anyone who wants to find a problem with anything can find a problem." Then blames "the internet."
4. Is an article written by a white journalist whose editor is white under a company whose CEO (and also Chairman) is white, interviewing a white film director who is repped by an all-white agent team and works for a white LFL president under a studio run by a white CEO/chairman (with a white president of production, head of marketing and all 16 senior executive positions white) discussing a sequel trilogy that has had exclusively white producers, writers, cinematographers, production designers, Visual Effects supervisors and editors.... while having the audacity to discuss their warm feelings about Black History Month (and shouldn't be just a month!) published on the same weekend that Black Panther (black writers, some key producers, director and majority cast) releases.
Yes. Crappy. Click Bait. Trash.

He selectively quotes him to support his inflammatory title....and since no one actually reads anything beyond that, they will believe it....
He says if your threatened by woman you could find an enemy is Star Wars.....
He does not say anything beyond that
What a trash article....

I don't disagree with you, it's obviously click bait which is why I quoted the title of the article, not something I'd say after reading it.
The "journalist" that wrote it probably started with a loaded question about "forced diversity complaints" to lead Abrams to say what he said.
But it is telling that the first I've ever heard from Abrams about the controversy over TLJ is about misogynistic claims. Has JJ Abrams commented on the TLJ controversy elsewhere?

It is still damage control tho. "People on the internet hate everything." That's the basic message.
Just another way of sayin' that if you didn't like new Stah Wous you're the troll.
I see the opposite.He’s not wrong thou, the webs are much more full of complaining windbags then positive hopeful types...
I see the opposite.
Media whores are always the biggest population, be it real life or the net.
"Hopeful morons" sounds about right.
I'm not sayin' there's no stupid hate, but it's the same as dumb cheerfulness.
If you think that one is ok and the other is not then you're a hypocrite.
Of course, that's who the producers are.
