LOS ANGELES, Jan 18 — A fan-made recut of Star Wars: The Last Jedi that removes almost all the women from the film has been mercilessly mocked by the film’s cast.
The recut, which was posted to the file-sharing site Pirate Bay, is titled The Last Jedi: De-Feminised Fanedit (aka the Chauvinist Cut) and comes in at 46 minutes long, compared to the original’s running time of two hours and 35 minutes.
The dunking began when film writer and critic Priscilla Page posted a link to a news report about the recut, adding a long, drawn-out laugh to her tweet.

As film critic Siddhant Adlakha summed it up nicely: “No instance of fandom petulance has ever been dunked on this hard by creators.
