Daisy Ridley 'wasn't surprised' fans hated 'Last Jedi,' teases 'emotional' Star Wars ending

Q: Writer/director Rian Johnson received a ton of backlash online after "The Last Jedi," with many fans petitioning to remake the film and redeem Luke Skywalker's character. Were you surprised at all by the controversy?

Ridley: I wasn't surprised, no. It’s just a different thing. Everyone’s going to have an opinion now anyway on the internet, but I also think it’s fair. If people hold something incredibly dear and think they know how it should be and it's not like that, it’s fair for people to think they were done wrong. It doesn’t mean they were – ultimately, Rian’s a filmmaker and one person can’t dictate how a film is supposed to be – but freedom of expression, sure.

When Disney's movies are well received they blame the fans for "racism", "sexism", "toxic masculinity", blah, blah, blah.

I think Daisy has pretty accurately summed up what all the constant bitching and whining on the ep 7 & 8 boards is about.

If people hold something incredibly dear and think they know how it should be and it's not like that, it’s fair for people to think they were done wrong. It doesn’t mean they were

Indeed.

Can someone explain to me what the meaning of this sentence is. I am too stupid to understand.

She sounds like she's alluding to the fact that people who express their negative reactions tend to cry foul whenever others challenge the arguments used to support certain strident views and complain that their not being allowed to hold or express said opinions.
