Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. What’s happening to Star Wars?

July 16, 2018
|
Claire Brassard

There’s a dark side gathering strength within one of pop culture’s most successful franchises. A group of angry fans has bullied some cast members of Star Wars: The Last Jedi off of social media, harassed the film’s creators, and even pledged to remake the movie themselves. How did fandom get so toxic? What’s driving the hate? And will it ever go away? Pop culture junkie and Toronto Star entertainment reporter, Raju Mudhar, takes us to a galaxy far far away where the toxicity first began.
