“As a big fan of the Star War you did, I feel like I should make sure this isn't misunderstood. It was mostly US-based "political operatives" (I would call them activists) who did it. There were a few Russian trolls, but that's just because they are in every conflict online now.”

and

I agree. I kept telling that to reporters who called me about the Russians, but they felt the Russia story was much better - even though it had much less resonance in the actual findings. I mean, I saw U.S. gun rights activists getting involved who never tweeted about SW before.”

And 

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. But that just underscores @Annaleen 's point even more.”

i suspected this was always the case but nice to see it empirically confirmed that Russia generated at least 50% of the RiJo/TLJ hate online bedbug eddie Dec 26, 11:07

I posted this study last year when it was released. You're right its nice to see the facts but the manbabies are gonna keep crying {nm} Moviesnob Dec 26, 11:27

ROTFLMO. News? Hahaha. shipwreckedcrew Dec 26, 11:33

Think of it like this - what would the debate over Star Wars would look like without external influence? RogerMore Dec 26, 15:26

SW in general, or RTJ in particular? shipwreckedcrew Dec 26, 16:32

SW since TFA. There has been plenty of messing with SW lore, bad characters and missed opportunities in these movies too RogerMore Dec 26, 17:14

External to what? Has Star Wars never been shown in Russia? {nm} DTravel Dec 26, 17:03

People who have a political or social agenda beyond whether they like or dislike a movie, especially if they don’t care about the movie in RogerMore Dec 26, 17:31

That hasn't been the case with movies ever. Reactions to them have always been colored by the current social hot buttons. DTravel Dec 26, 20:09

I think there’s a distinction between people who want to discuss their reactions to the movie and people who want to blow things out o RogerMore Dec 26, 20:42

No -- the reaction is TOWARDS the agenda reflected in the movie shipwreckedcrew Dec 26, 23:27

Just saw online that Rose Tico had 1 min. 16 sec. screen time in STAR9 shipwreckedcrew Dec 26, 23:59

CNET: No half The Last Jedii haters were NOT Russian trolls.. totally debunked.. only 16 out of 1273 tweets, maybe Solo Lost Money Dec 26, 19:50

How about THINKING for a second instead of looking for crap to match your naive, manipulated views. Prophecy Dec 26, 20:02

Oh my... Are you guys still doing this? TLJ is an abomination, period. Keep telling what you want... {nm} Filmstardust Dec 27, 12:12
