The Star Wars fandom has been through quite a lot over the franchise’s tenure, but a new development appears to have taken things to a whole other level.

Earlier today, the Twitter account @RMTheLastJedi posted a lengthy thread, where they announced plans to create their own alternate version of last year’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi. According to their account, a coalition of “fans” who were frustrated with the real The Last Jedi are willing to completely remake the film, and will even foot the $200 million bill for the production.

Yes, really.

“This is a campaign to provide Disney an opportunity to course correct with the Star Wars franchise. The fans are completely divided and the core goal of Star Wars has been abandoned,” the campaign’s website reads. “The goal is to not make one half of the fandom happy over the other, it is to make a film that the fandom in general as a whole enjoys. The hero archetype’s of the original films is what made these so great, it made characters that everyone could relate to regardless of their background and beliefs. No longer having this core element along with poor storytelling, has made the franchise divisive and in disarray.”

It’s certainly an ambitious (and awfully entitled) goal, one that has earned a reaction from all across the Star Wars landscape. Even The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson caught wind of the campaign, and responded in a pretty delightful manner. But quite a few other Twitter users have decided to address the idea, from wondering exactly how the logistics would work, to imagining what this new version would look like. Here’s a round-up of some of those responses.
