The “alt-right” wants people to boycott Star Wars because they just realised that they’re the Galactic Empire

Poke Staff. Updated December 9th, 2016

The US “alt-right” (or racists, or Nazis, or neo-Nazis, depending on your preferred term) is now demanding a boycott of the new Star Wars film Rogue One because it has an “anti-white agenda” – i.e it features people of different ethnic backgrounds and a woman fighting a facist dictatorship.

Naturally this has been met with lots of piss-taking…

SMH: It's pretty much unanimous. This is how the US looks to the rest of the galaxy: #DumpStarWars pic.twitter.com/utlT0FYoip

A long time ago,
In a galaxy far away, #DumpStarWars happened.
And the galaxy shrugged.#TheResistance pic.twitter.com/bUvqJlBWDU

You all do understand that the bad guys' army have been called "storm troopers" since the 1970s, right? #DumpStarWars pic.twitter.com/cVFCD3mYJQ

I've seen #RogueOne& there aren't any allusions to Trump but this new character Cheetodust McDaughtergroper was pretty cool. #DumpStarWars

If Star Wars — an obvious allegory about Nazism — feels like an attack on your candidate, the problem isn’t with Star Wars… #DumpStarWars

So far since they won, the "we don't need safe spaces" party has boycotted a play, a cereal brand and a movie for being mean. #DumpStarWars
