User Reviews

People Who Like This Do Not Know Star Wars

Anyone who likes this stupidity has either never watched Star Wars or knows nothing about the force. It is painfully obvious that Disney, Lucasfilm, Bad Robot and their minions are the dark side and controlled by evil.

They destroyed Star Wars, went against everything any Jedi ever said and ignored the force and pushed an ugly Mary Sue and cheap hormonal emo video bombing each other.
