You may have heard that there's a new Star Wars movie out, and you may have heard that it's getting mostly pretty good reviews. If you check Rotten Tomatoes though, there's a pretty wide gulf between what the critics and the audience at large seems to think about The Last Jedi. While the critics' score is 93 percent positive, the audience rating is 55 percent positive, firmly in the "rotten" category.

Now, here are a lot of things that could account for this. The Last Jedi has some narrative missteps, some plot points that don't seem to go anywhere, and some unanswered questions that could be intriguing but maybe are just plot holes. And both it and The Force Awakens derail the happy ending we got for all the main characters at the end of Return of the Jedi. Considering how many people have grown up with those characters and the original movies, it's not surprising that there would be a lot of folks upset with the directions of the new movies. Even director Rian Johnson has been feeling fan backlash, saying "the fans are so passionate, they care so deeply — sometimes they care very violently at me on Twitter."

But of course there's a nefarious explanation too: the alt-right, so enraged by the swelling diversity of the Star Wars cast, orchestrated a campaign of negative reviews to own the libs. A Facebook page called "Down with Disney's Treatment of Franchises and its Fanboys" is taking credit for The Last Jedi's paltry audience score, and Huffington Post managed to get in touch with the undoubtedly pleasant fellow behind the account:

On Tuesday, we sent a direct message to the page, whose moderator responded almost immediately. He explained that he’s upset with “Star Wars” producers for, “among other things,” introducing more female characters into the franchise’s universe. Throughout the course of our conversation, the self-identified member of the “alt-right” claimed that Poe Dameron (played by Oscar Isaac) is a “victim of the anti-mansplaining movement,” that Poe and Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) are in danger of being “turn[ed]” gay, and that men should be reinstated as rulers of “society.”

The moderator claims he's behind a wave of bots spamming Rotten Tomatoes with negative reviews for The Last Jedi, but the vice president for Rotten Tomatoes says that's pretty unlikely. There hasn't been an uptick in user activity compared to The Force Awakens, and other websites show a similar gulf in critic and viewer scores. But it's not out of bounds compared to what misogynist fanboys have tried in the past. When Mad Max: Fury Road came out, far-right bloggers tried to start a boycott for mostly the same reasons: Charlize Theron had too many lines in the previews. That boycott wasn't successful so much as ridiculed relentlessly.

Meanwhile, The Last Jedi has closed its first week with more than $500 million.
