Now , accord to a sight conducted by social scientistMark H. White II , there may now be tangible validation after he found thatStar Warsfans that tend to have sexist and conservative beliefs and a negative position towards political rightness also tend to dislikeStar warfare : The Last Jedi . To sympathise White ’s findings well , a bit of background on his resume is necessary . The late phase of his research found that there arethree main type ofStar Warsfans : Prequel Skeptics ( fan of the original and sequel trilogies , but not the prequels ) , Saga Lovers ( who rate the intact enfranchisement favourably ) , and TLJ Disowners ( who dislikeStar war : The Last Jedi ) .
By asking survey respondents a serial of targeted interrogative that determined whether they demonstrated"hostile sexism"and"benevolent sexism,“White found that TLJ Disowners carry more sexist beliefs than Prequel Skeptics and Saga Lovers . TLJ Disowners also reported more cautious politics and anti - PC opinion than Prequel Skeptics and Saga Lovers .
More broadly , White find thatStar Warsfans who prove sexist and anti - PC belief were more likely to savor the original and prequel trilogy , but less likely to relish the sequel trilogy . White also discovered that the more sexist and anti - PC aStars Warsfan is , the less likely they are to like the characters Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo , Rey , and Rose Tico , who have faced the brunt of sexist critique leveled at the subsequence trilogy .

With a comparatively small sample size of around 5,000 , White ’s survey could never by representative of the entireStar Warsfandom , and there are indeed manyStar war : TheLast Jedidetractors who dislike the flick for a whole host of reasons that have nothing to do with sexism or anti - progressive attitudes . White does , however , conceive his findings are grounds of a positive correlation between disliking theStar Warssequel trilogy and having sexist , materialistic , and anti - PC beliefs amongsomefans . Arriving at the opinion that some of the backlashStar Wars : The Last Jedigot was unfounded , White concludes that because of their political beliefs , someStar Warsfans were predispose to hateThe Last Jedi .
