'The Last Jedi' Remake Campaign Generates Interest Online

“The Last Jedi” remake could be in the making if a booming campaign to get it on film has any success.

Fans of the “Star Wars” saga were split after the release of “The Last Jedi” in December 2017. Some viewers were calling it the most hated “Star Wars” entry and even wanted it removed from the entire series, CNET noted.

So, the campaign Remake The Last Jedi started to not only satisfy “one half” of the audience but bring happiness to the Star Wars fandom in general. It would give Disney the chance “to course correct the ‘Star Wars’ franchise,” Remake The Last Jedi stated.

On Wednesday, the organization tweeted:

Our team of producers is offering to cover the budget for a remake of The Last Jedi in order to save Star Wars. Share this and spread the word to let @RobertIger & @Disney know you want this! This isn't a joke, we're ready to have the convo now! #RemakeTheLastJedi #StarWars

The campaign claimed to have producers who would cover the budget for the film but also asked individuals to contribute as well. It reported raising more than $13 million in pledges, but that has been unsubstantiated, since it is not on a popular fundraiser site.

“The Last Jedi” director, Rian Johnson, even hopped on the bandwagon, ignoring the death threats he had once received from disgruntled fans.

please please please please pleeeeeeeaaaase please actually happen please please please please please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 https://t.co/mNpSjgovax

Some fans have their own unique ideas:

I gotta be honest: I actually WANT a $200 million remake of THE LAST JEDI written, produced, directed by and starring amateurs. I can think of no quicker way to demolish people's fantasies that they can do this kind of thing just as well as the professionals.

When Lucas couldn't get the rights to FLASH GORDON, he made STAR WARS and that worked out pretty great. If you guys have this much passion and energy and money, you should create your own thing. Show everyone how it's done. And own it! https://t.co/KKqSujCund

Those happy with “The Last Jedi” prefer no changes:

I would take the money and then remake the Last Jedi exactly the same.

There is some skepticism.

We're all going to dunk a lot on that Remake The Last Jedi thing today, but let's not lose sight of the fact that the people behind it are incredible doofuses with no idea what they are talking about.

thank you, people who want to remake The Last Jedi, for not only having an idea so absolutely dumb that unified a lot of us via the language of dunks, but just being so earthcrushingly insane that it distracted us for a moment from what was actually happening

I would type out a thoughtful response to the whole 'Remake The Last Jedi' thing but all I think I'll settle for 'HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA'.

Actor Seth Rogen was more to the point, asking how did the campaign get investors without a script, stars, or director. He also tweeted:

Yo I’m very confused as to what your goal is here. You literally want to spend 200 million dollars remaking the last Jedi? And someone is giving you that money? I don’t get it.
