He’s pretty much said he’s tired of being yelled at by Star Wars fans. Let him cook.

Nobody hates Star Wars more than Star Wars fans

He was one of the few things to not complain about in those movies. I guess he's more recognizable than the writers and Disney executives though.

Why was getting yelled at, was he the one that hired JJ Abrams?

Pretty sure the blame isn’t JJ’s either.

I thought Poe was one of the more well-liked characters?

It's funny cause I never really clocked him until it *was* star wars fans bitching and then also trying to do fanfiction with him and another character that was unfortunately written in the movies as close to a minstrel as you can get. Then I forgot about him until Frankenstein where he was so so different. I mean he plays a self absorbed prick quite well but I barely recognized him between Ex Machina and now. Beef...this doesn't need to be rehashed...maybe they'll do a good job but it just seems like it's going in the direction of American Horror story with a healthy dose of scripted reality tv that is trying to compete with the White Lotus version of narrative.

Haha he *liked* the Finn & Poe ship and said he wanted it to happen.

After Andor I'm officially done with that franchise until they make a Dr. Aphra show but considering Aphra is a woman and asian it'll most likely make the unwashed basement dwelling toxic fans come out in droves.

Yeah I cannot imagine it ever getting better than Andor. That series was incredible. I hope they learn something from it but I doubt it very much.

Great in Moon Knight. I think Ex Machina was the first thing I really liked him in

He’s a big part of the reason why I loved season 2! I was disappointed that he was not the main character in episode 7.

He'd be perfect for a Shaft reboot.
