  1. WRONG, Ryan Gosling will NOT star in the film.

    He’ll be a supporting character at best: The goofy, feeble-minded, lilly-livered, incompetent buffoon/weakling who spends the entire movie being wrong about everything, being repeatedly rescue by his stronger and smarter female counterpart and being told he needs to “do better”.

    I’ve had enough social programming, thanks. I’ll sit this one out.

    Star Wars died when George Lucas signed it over to the Sith Lords at Disney. It’s over.
