Here's the deal. Two of the writers for the movie Tweeted negative things about Trump. They also changed their Twitter avatars to the Rebel Alliance symbol with a safety pin through it.

Then there were some reshoots. What possible purpose could there have been for reshoots other than to put stuff in the movie making Trump look bad? That's why Trump supporters have started a campaign to boycott the movie.

There are articles about it everywhere today. You won't have any trouble find a dozen or so.

If you see the movie, please post here to let us know if it has anti-Trump scenes.

I saw an early release. Wasn't anti-Trump, it was anti-Clinton.

Just because two of the writers are Anti-Trump (which is not uncommon in the Entertainment industry) doesn't mean the movie has such sentiment. I suggest seeing the movie before making any judgements.

The whole thing is whether or not to boycott it. I can't go see it to decide if I am going to go see it!

I saw Rogue One. I didn't notice any Anti-Trump (or for that matter, Anti-Clinton) sentiments. If anything is there, I missed it.

As for the movie itself, I rate it a 7 out of 10. It is worth seeing, but if you're looking for the magic of the first three produced Star Wars movies, you will be disappointed.

Nothing new is ever as good as the original, if you ask anyone that saw the original first-hand.

According to my (now) 14-year-old daughter, the more recent trilogy was better than the first. Go figure.

Saw it. Response stands.

Also, this was the second best Star Wars movie ever made.

Thank you, Candor, for screening it for me. I might go see it now that I know it's safe.
