The pin has been used to show solidarity with minorities, women, and immigrants in the wake of Donald Trump's win last month

Some Star Wars fans say they will be boycotting the latest film in the hugely successful franchise, claiming that the movie has anti-Donald Trump themes.

The outcry began back in November when the film's screenwriter, Oscar-nominee Chris Weitz, made comments about Trump after his win in the election.

He tweeted a photo soon after the election of the Rebel insignia with a safety pin through it, which has been used to show solidarity with minorities, women, and immigrants in the wake of Donald Trump's win last month.

'Star Wars against hate. Spread it,' wrote Weitz.

That led to Trump supporter Jack Posobiec tweeting out a a completely unfounded and unproven statement about the film last week, saying: 'Star Wars writers rewrote and reshot Rogue One to add in Anti Trump scenes calling him a racist. Disgusting.'

'I think the whole story has been overblown and, quite frankly, it's silly,' Disney CEO Bob Iger said over the weekend, adding the film is not political (boycott tweet above from Mike Cernovich)

'I think the whole story has been overblown and, quite frankly, it's silly,' Disney CEO Bob Iger told The Hollywood Reporter at the film's premiere on Saturday.

'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.'

Despite that claim however, a number of vocal Trump supporters are now claiming they will not see the film.

Many of them began using a hashtag as well, '#DumpStarWars.'

'Writers of new Star Wars said people who vote for Trump support Hitler. If you still give them your money, shameful,' wrote Mike Cernovich, one of the most vocal members of the alt-right.

And Posobiec tweeted again, writing: 'I just cancelled my Star Wars Rogue One tickets after the writers said its an Anti-Trump movie. I'll take my dollars elsewhere.'

Weitz meanwhile also tweeted in response to Posobiec, writing: 'A thought for the end of the day: @jackprosobiec is a liar. But then you know that, Jack.'
