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. We knew that you were a better actor for which you used, and that you c

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

A World of Neon and Metal: First Impressions of 'Cyberpunk 2077'

Cyberpunk 2077 : The biggest and most anticipated game launch in 2020. While the launch itself had its own issues and I myself had a number of crashes and bugs, overall, my limited time with Cyberpunk 2077 so far has been positive. Disclaimer: this is not a game review, nor will I be seeking to write one, I'd just like to share some of the things I've experienced in a game I've been looking forward to for a long time. Character Creation: Cyberpunk 2077 has a pretty robust character creation screen. Most of the usual options are there: hair styles, hair color, eye color, makeup, scars, piercings, tattoos, and, naturally for this game, cyberware cosmetics. I was at first a bit disappointed in that I could not make a slight build male V. Most RPG's I have played have had the ability to customize your body shape, but that option is not available here. You have the choice of a male or female body, and whatever parts for whatever gender you decide on, but the body
