Neo-Nazis may be amongst the worst human scum in any galaxy, be it this one, or a galaxy far, far away, but that doesn't mean Disney won't take their money for Star Wars tickets. Responding to the #DumpStarWars campaign which aims to boycott the upcoming Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, calling it "SJW Propaganda" and "Anti-White Social Engineering," Disney CEO Bob Iger told The Hollywood Reporter at this weekend's Rogue One premiere:

I think the whole story has been overblown and, quite frankly, it's silly. I have no reaction to [this] story at all. Frankly, this is a film that the world should enjoy. It is not a film that is, in any way, a political film. There are no political statements in it, at all.

Yes, even Neo-Nazis can enjoy Rogue One, according to Disney. Because, after all, a story about a rebellion trying to overthrow an authoritarian empire that took control of a republic using fear has nothing at all to do with politics.

Rogue One hits theaters on Friday, so goose-step on over to the box office and reserve your tickets today!

A prophecy once said that in the comic book industry's darkest days, a hero would come to lead the people through a plague of overpriced floppies, incentive variant covers, #1 issue reboots, and super-mega-crossover events. Sadly, that prophecy was wrong. Oh, Jude Terror was right. For ten years. About everything. But nobody listened. And so, Jude Terror has moved on to a more important mission: turning Bleeding Cool into a pro wrestling dirt sheet!
