Men's Rights Activist Makes 46-Minute Cut of STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI Which Removes All Of The Women
Yes, an MRA actually took the time to edit down a bootleg copy of Star Wars: The Last Jedi to remove any scenes involving a female character, in the warped belief that it would somehow improve the film...
An anonymous Pirate Bay user has uploaded a fan-edit of Star Wars: The Last Jedi which has been edited down to remove any scene featuring a female character. This version is known as “The Last Jedi: De-Feminized Fanedit”, and is described by its delusional creator as “basically The Last Jedi minus Girlz Powah and other silly stuff."
This story has been doing the rounds since last night and has succeeded in giving everyone a good laugh, at least.
The bootleg edit even includes a breakdown of the stuff that was removed for being offensive to delicate meninist sensibilities:
“Cut out most shots showing female fighters/pilots and female officers commanding people around/having ideas.“
“NO HALDO (sic)! She simply doesn’t exist. Her whole subplot doesn’t exist. The Kamikaze is carried out by Poe. ( = Poe dies.)“
“Leia never scolds, questions nor demotes Poe. He is a respected and very skilled high-ranking member of the resistance.“
“When there’s a scene where a woman is cut in making some important statement that can be substituted by another statement by a guy, then she gets cut out. Works pretty well actually.“
“Wookie eats the Porg, or at least isn’t interrupted in trying to do so.“
“No green milk.” (What the [frick])
Okay, we'll give him the green milk thing.
If you actually want to watch this abomination without having to download it it'll most likely pop up somewhere soon enough. In the meantime, here's director Rian Johnson's response:
