(Parody) President Trump condemns Star Wars Sequel Trilogy, sparking controversy

[Disclaimer: This article is a parody story. While some events in this article are actually taking place, it is written for comedy purposes and shouldn’t be taken too seriously.] 

Star Wars Week has come to a close.

Beginning on May 4, “Star Wars Day,” this week-long celebration focused on the “Star Wars” media franchise.

President Donald Trump weighed in on “Star Wars.”

“The Star Wars Original Trilogy is the greatest trilogy ever,” Trump wrote on Twitter on Saturday, May 9. “It has great characters, a great story and great space battles.”

Trump was referring to Star Wars Episodes IV-VI — “A New Hope,” “The Empire Strikes Best” and “Return of the Jedi.”

“The Original Trilogy is way better than the Sequel Trilogy,” Trump continued in the tweet. “Disney ruined the original characters and story. They had no plan whatsoever.”

The Sequel Trilogy takes place 30 years after the Star Wars Original Trilogy. It is made up of Episodes VII-IX — “The Force Awakens,” “The Last Jedi” and “The Rise of a Skywalker.”

Trump’s tweet has been shared on Facebook and other social media sites, drawing positive reactions from conservatives and negative reactions from liberals.

“President Trump has time to write a thirty-second tweet when he should be working tirelessly to lead our country during this [coronavirus] pandemic,” Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said from her mansion in San Francisco. “People are dying and yet he’s not doing his job.”

Pelosi has repeatedly delayed bringing Congress back into session during the coronavirus pandemic, as well as delayed votes on stimulus bills aimed to help regular Americans.

“President Trump is right about ‘Star Wars,’” conservative David Walker said. “He’s saying what every ‘Star Wars’ fan knows. Disney ruined ‘Star Wars’ and divided the fan base. They deserve to be called out for the way they treated Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and the Rebel Alliance.”

The Rebel Alliance went on to defeat the Galactic Empire and become the New Republic in “Star Wars” lore.

“Star Wars” fans have been divided since the release of Director Rian Johnson’s “The Last Jedi (2017)” and remakes made by Disney/LucasFilm leadership (including Johnson, Director J.J. Abrams, and LucasFilm CEO Kathleen Kennedy) calling people who hated the “Sequel Trilogy” sexist.

“Thank God we can ignite the Disney Star Wars Trilogy and keep the Str Wars story intact,” Walker said.

Trump’s support among Star Wars fans rose to an unprecedented 98%.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever (2024) Review

The movie starts by introducing us to the Herdmans, a group of poor kids who are the worst kids in town. Even the girls.   Told through the narration of the main protagonist, Beth Bradley, the Herdmans are bullies and juvenile delinquents who spend their time terrorizing the other kids and the townspeople.  Everyone in town hates them, especially the parishioners and busy-body mothers at the local Christian parish.  That changes as the film progresses and our main characters see the Herdmans in a new light as they become involved in the town’s local Christmas pageant.  Sadly, Grace Bradley is forced to take over the pageant after Mrs. Armstrong breaks her legs.  When the Herdmans join the Christmas pageant under the motivation of receiving free food and desserts by going to church, somewhere nobody expected the Herdmans to show their faces, every expects the worst to happen.  However, once the pageant comes around, the entire town has a newfound...

Movie Review: The 5th Wave as Anti-Military propaganda

This article was originally published on June 9, 2017. Normally a story that involves humans fighting seemingly invincible aliens warrants a good story. You'd also think the military would be there to protect Americans. But before long, it becomes clear to the protagonists in “The 5th Wave (2016)” that Americans should resist the military, that the soldiers are the real enemy to humanity. "The 5th Wave," based on the Rick Yancey novel of the same name, follows a long line of Hollywood's assaults on the honor and integers of the brave men and women who fight for their country. Unfortunately, most of Hollywood hasn't limited their attacks to five. The film centers around a young girl who sets out to find her brother after their father is killed in a massacre carried out by military forces. Right after the parents do the natural thing and resist being separated from their children forever. This is the director's way of telli...
