Well, I have no rebuttal as I do not believe that is actually a tactic they are employing.

I dont feel lumped in with anyone, i think this tactic of deliberately deflecting genuine criticism of terrible movies by trying to create a narrative of those critics just being sexist, racist trolls is disgusting. We have seen even here how people have been classed politically just because of their opinions on TLJ and thats just not on.
Thats all good. When I post its mainly to those who are more than aware of the current issues and have not shut themselves off from whats really going on.
I'm curious as to where this notion comes from that Disney/LFL has come out and said that everyone who disliked TLJ is a racist/sexist/whatever.
What I've seen is the following:
1. They've not responded to the legitimate criticism of some fans or some of the general complaints.
2. They have responded to some of the most vitriolic, toxic behavior and called it out.
And that's about all I've seen. I think there's been this assumption that, because that's the only criticism that Disney has responded to, that they are lumping all the dissatisfied fans together.
O.k. folks...I know that it has become a bitchin' fest (and I'm one of the guilty party in here also:$)...now, for solutions: has anyone have a solution to what kind of SW they would like to see? Back to real models against blue screen? Yes, I know, IT'S THE STORY IDIOT:behave...shooting in 35 mil, got it! How about Joe Johnston as a director? Anybody with me?
JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson have both done this. RJ in particular called fans who didn't like TLJ "man babies". So yeah nothing has come out as an official statement from Disney/LFL, but they aren't stopping employees from starwars.com, SW authors, and people working on the movies from insulting fans. By all means, they can go after all the actual racist/misogynist people all they want, but narrow your focus to them.

I think the trick is going back and looking at what inspired George. All the Disney era films are inspired by the OT. If you want to original, go back and look at Samurai films, Flash Gordon, straight mythic verse... find the narrative there. Making it look like Star Wars is production design. Making it FEEL like Star Wars is a bit more difficult. Look at ideas that made the OT for inspiration, NOT the OT itself.
