Pretty sure Screen Rant is NOT a Russian
I was in line for the first showing May 1977 in Denver. I made the first showings for the next two, also. When the next 3 came out, I made the showings.
Now, these years later, I bought the force awakens and rogue one together. They lacked plot, they did not follow along, and left me with that “is there more to the story?” The writing was worse than game of thrones season 8!
Oh, noes! Found out about us they did.
What a bunch of BS.
The Russians have always hated Star Wars. ;)

Another “scholar” in a worthless “woke” field.
Oh no! The Left has figured out how the Russians do bad things!! Now they can’t complain anymore!
He's saying that about 50% came from "political trolls," some of whom were Russian, but most of whom were Americans.
But who is a "political troll"? Most likely it's somebody he disagrees with.
So people who have political opinions also have opinions about Star Wars. No surprise there.
I saw it today...it wasn’t great but not as bad as some say either
B- maybe
Lots of Nazi imagery and racist themes in the first three to come out. Since Disney got the franchise, they are promoting lesbianism now.
Is that what they are talking about?
On contrast, the study author Bay is an Annenberg non-tenure-track soyboy who immediately threw a wet match on Author's assertions:
Though I really appreciate the shout-out (and the piece overall), I must correct the record: It wasn't 50% Russians, it was ~50% political trolls of which most were American and few (maybe) Russian.
And for those of few of you flexing on Twitter, the #ratio has reigned supreme yet again.
I saw the movie, it was as pathos as @HamillHimself predicted.
Her pronoun is "they."
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Other than the grammatical confusion.
The NYT has gone around the bend.
They are believing their own propaganda
I have also tuned out on Trek.
I only went to the most recent Fast and Furious flick because a friend paid for my ticket. I did not see the most recent Mission: Impossible. I tuned out of the MCU (I did see the second Deadpool film, but I don't know if they can corral me for a third dose.)
James Bond gets another shot with me; but even before the recent controversy over the new film's woke-level, I was wondering if 007 needed to hang up his cleats. The last film was a disappointment, and about the only kind of foe that has yet to be battled is space aliens.
Never dawns on the poor little Leftist, that Reagan never referred to it as Star Wars. It was his fellow travelers who sought to dismiss the Strategic Defense Initiative as something not within the realm of reality.
While these bottom feeders continue to trash Reagan ever since, work has gone on. We are developing those defense weapons.
One wonders of when we have them, if the Left would like to make special requests not to benefit from Reagan's foresight.
How much more Star Wars do we need? After the second batch in the late 90s and early 00s I have missed all these new films since 2015.
I’m wondering if a lot of those “far right Russian bots” are created by Disney’s or Lucas Film’s marketing to stir up controversy.
I guess that we already know how these people would do on a Rorschach inkblot test. The really stupid ones, however, are the ones that keep these fools working. It’s like Gillette losing eight billion dollars this year and if you look at the lefty explanations you would believe that everyone just decided to stop shaving. Still other razor companies saw growth during the same period. The lengths that liberals will go to to defend their propaganda is amazing. .
