John Boyega Expresses His Frustrations Regarding Toxic 'Star Wars' Fans

John Boyega, the actor who played the role of reformed stormtrooper Finn in every entry of the Star Wars sequel trilogy, has called out some toxic Star Wars fans on Twitter, saying he does not “f***” with them anymore. On Friday night, August 21, he tweeted about what he was finding to be bothersome: "Toxic Star Wars fans still find their way to my mentions. Lord. Must I blunt? I don’t “f***” with you no more." Unsurprisingly, this led to a lot of responses. A little while later, Boyega sent out another tweet about the matter: "Lord waited so long to tell the toxic fans to fack off.” However, it was not quite clear how the fans were being toxic to John Boyega, and which fans in particular he was addressing, as far as what their specific criticisms were. One person commented the following: “Those Star Wars fans that you find toxic to your series of Star Wars were actually rooting for you, my friend.

How The Lightsaber Has Changed Over Time

In many works of fiction, the main characters have certain items, called “props” that the characters always carry, that are associated with the character, or are otherwise usually present with the character. Typical examples are Long John Silver's parrot, Frodo's Sting or Indiana Jones' whip. These items are essentially extensions of the character, and are used not only as a tool or weapon but often for characterization and as an icon for which the character is remembered. In pop culture, the lightsaber is the iconic weapon of a Jedi, and although there are characters who are not Jedi who carry them, it has become a recognizable symbol of Star Wars and one that has evolved from a basic, metal tube to many other, more interesting and exotic designs. Possibly inspired by previous laser sword weapons, Star Wars creator George Lucas originally came up with the idea for lightsabers because he intended the Star Wars saga to be a space age Arthurian epic. The weapon needed to

Star Wars Confirms Where The First Order Truly Came From

When Disney purchased the rights to Star Wars and announced that a new trilogy of films would be created, there were naturally questions of who exactly the main villain would be. Return of the Jedi tied things up pretty neatly. The Emperor was dunked down a reactor shaft like a basketball, Anakin Skywalker came back to the light, and Luke Skywalker became a full fledged jedi. There was an entire galaxy full of possible threats to the new republic that would arise from the ashes of the Empire. When the seventh movie came out, we were treated to the new threat to the galaxy: The Third Rei-- er... The First Order. Between the familiar ships such as TIE fighters and the usual stormtroopers, it didn't look all that different from the Empire. They even had another planet-destroying weapon in the Death Star Thr-- er... Starkiller Base. Questions naturally arose as to why this new group was not only called The First Order, but why the people fighting them were called The Resistance. Wit
