Rian Johnson And Others Respond To Fan Campaign To Remake Star Wars: The Last Jedi

A new fan campaign has launched online hoping to raise the money to remake Star Wars: The Last Jedi in a way that’s better for the vocal fans who hated it. It has its own official website and offers you the chance to donate funds for the project. You can also leave your email address to support the movement. The website insists they aren’t a joke and have producers ready to fund the movie.

A statement reads: “This is a campaign to provide Disney an opportunity to course correct with the Star Wars franchise. The fans are completely divided and the core goal of Star Wars has been abandoned.”

Our team of producers is offering to cover the budget for a remake of The Last Jedi in order to save Star Wars. Share this and spread the word to let @RobertIger & @Disney know you want this! This isn't a joke, we're ready to have the convo now! #RemakeTheLastJedi #StarWars

Director Rian Johnson responded to the campaign, seeming to be in favor but it’s likely he’s just being sarcastic.

Johnson wasn’t the only one to respond, as both Seth Rogen and James Gunn also gave their thoughts.

Yo I’m very confused as to what your goal is here. You literally want to spend 200 million dollars remaking the last Jedi? And someone is giving you that money? I don’t get it.

I will gladly spend that 300 million on a movie that’s not remaking a movie from a year ago. Call me!📱 https://t.co/74KKz2zhCs
