A good friend of mine was in his class in elementary school when Phantom Menace came out and said he was the biggest asshole but I mean...they were children lol.

I hope he's OK!

I'm not religious, but bless him. I'm glad he's doing well, and I hope he continues to thrive.

it breaks my heart how he was treated. I hope he only has better days from now on.

really hope he continues to get good treatment. i wish him the best.

so much of star wars fandom makes me ashamed to call myself a fan as well. no matter what triggered his mental health struggles, there's no excuses for harassing a literal child the way many did.

I agree! I love Star Wars however the people in the fandom are fucking wild 😬

[tinurix]

I'm a lifelong Star Wars fan. Like, the minute my parents could sit me down to watch the original trilogy, they did. But I've pulled away from it a lot thanks to the fandom. I can't believe it's behavior that's continued into present day too.
