Some people have criticized Rian Johnson for not responding to the anti-TLJ fans who aren't misogynistic or anti-diversity. Here's a recent example of him doing exactly that.

It's still an allegory that's extremely silly. If an alien species that could travel between cosmos and have planet destructive weapons and plasma armors come here you think giving a guerilla only sticks and rocks and make them swing around like Tarzan will be enough to defeat that alien army?

This is star wars not Sshakespear, who the fuck are you kidding?

But at least the Ewoks were integrated in the plot. That's the difference between shoving commercial toys yet still giving them a purpose and outright shoving commercial toys in a movie without any sort of other purpose than "oh cutties" like Rian Johnson's last Jedi.

So next time you point at the Ewoks just to make TLJ's Porgs look better than the useless shit they were, well you'll think about that.
