One of the best parts about being a Star Wars fan is being able to say bad things about Star Wars, your one true love. Out of every huge, life-changing science fiction and fantasy property, Star Wars is really the one thing that can take decades of abuse and still give back to the fans without any signs of being worse for the wear. Of course it’s not just fans of the series handing out Star Wars disses, there are plenty of online pundits and armchair film theorists who have paragraphs of vitriol to spew at a series whose popularity baffles them. No matter which camp you're in, you’ll love this collection of inflammatory things said about Star Wars.
Voteup the best disses that have been said about Star Wars, George Lucas, Jar-Jar, or anything else from that galaxy far, far away.

"The first thing I'd do if I had a time machine is kill George Lucas with a shovel."
Who Said It: Patton Oswalt
Even though Oswalt makes this claim in the middle of his stand up act, it's still based in some weird nerd anger that sits deep within everyone who spent years dreaming about the promise of Star Wars prequels.
"Even the robots were crap and they were the stars of the show."
Who Said It: Bill Borrows
Bill Borrows haaaaaaates Star Wars and he's not some new-fangled Jedi hater. He's been booing wookies since 1977 and isn't going to let a little thing like the best Star Wars film in decades (which isn't really saying much) get in his way. Even if you're a dyed in the wool Star Wars fan, Borrows's grinchy article is worth reading, if for no other reason than to remind yourself that nothing is worth hating as much as this guy hates Star Wars.
"I've never had any interest in watching space nerds poke each other with their little space nerd sticks."
Who Said It: Katherine Timpf
On its own, this statement might not seem like such a big deal, but after Timpf said she didn't see what the big deal was about Star Wars, boy did the death threats start rolling in! Guys! Just because someone doesn't like Star Wars (or whatever it is you like) doesn't mean that you should threaten his or her life. When you do, you're making nerds look like a bunch of dorks.
“Those that can; do Star Trek. Those that can’t; do [Star Wars].”
Who Said It: William Shatner
Throughout the '70s, '80s, and '90s the Star Wars vs. Star Trek fight was at the forefront all nerdom, but now that it's become okay to like everything, the only person stoking the flames of that fire is William Shatner, who seems to get crankier with age.
"George Lucas raped my childhood."
Who Said It: Every fan boy ever
First of all, yikes. No matter what beloved childhood film franchise you're talking about (even the most holy of holies), "rape" is an incendiary word to start tossing around. Also it's not true. The memories of enjoying the original trilogy is still there, and until someone invents a memory wiping ray, no one can take that away from you.
"It was like, the most racist film of the 20th century!"
Who Said It: Peter Serafinowicz
That's right: the voice of Darth Maul railed against The Phantom Menace in an interview with comedian Richard Herring. Aside from hailing the first film of the prequels as the spiritual successor of Triumph of the Will, Serafinowicz details recording his voiceover for the film and tells a pretty sad story about not even being invited to the film's premiere.
"#BoycottStarWarsVII because it is anti-white propaganda promoting #whitegenocide"
Who Said It: A Twitter account called End Cultural Marxism
How long can we spend unpacking this bag of crazy? Before The Force Awakens was released, some people hopped on Twitter to make the egregious claim that "JJ Abrams is an anti-white nut," and that the new film would push a social justice warrior agenda. Isn't it great that films can be interpreted in any way that you want them to be? (And by "great" we mean "awful.")
"It's an exercise in utter infanticide."
Who Said It: Simon Pegg
The star of Spaced, Shaun of the Dead, and the Star Trek reboot films has never been coy about his distaste for the prequels, but as someone who's created and been a part of multiple film properties, he surely understands that these are just movies... right?
The Force Awakens Is "Confused and Hazy"
Who Said It: The Vatican
Aside from being a direct line to God, getting free tickets to see Star Wars is probably one of the best perks of working at The Vatican. Still, the church's reviewer felt that the most anticipated film of the last 20 years wasn't as good a reboot as Christopher Nolan's Batman series.
"I sold [the Star Wars films] to white slavers."
Who Said It: George Lucas
Yowza. It looks like fan boys aren't the only people who love to use hyperbole. In an interview with Charlie Rose, Lucas touched on selling his "children" to Disney, which he referred to as "white slavers." He later rescinded his statement.
