Star Wars actors Mark Hamill and John Boyega mock 46-minute ‘female free’ Last Jedi cut

The cast of Star Wars, including Mark Hamill and John Boyega, have mocked an anonymous fan who removed almost all of the women from The Last Jedi in his own cut of the film.

Titled, The Last Jedi: De-feminized Fanedit, the 46-minute “chauvinist cut” was uploaded to The Pirate Bay on Monday, described as “The Last Jedi minus Girlz Powah and other silly stuff”.

Shots including female fighters, pilots and officers commanding people have been cut, along with Laura Dern’s character Haldo, who “simply doesn’t exist”.

The person behind the controversial cut has also omitted scenes showing Princess Leia, played by the late Carrie Fisher, scolding Oscar Isasac’s Poe Dameron as well as any scene involving a woman making an important statement that can be substituted for a man.

A description read: “It can now at least be viewed without feeling nauseous about most of the terrible big and small decisions they made in this film. Also, at least the intro sequence is now very watchable and actually much cooler without all of Leia’s nitpicking.”

Director Rian Johnson voiced his humorous response on Twitter before Mark Hamill, who plays Luke Skywalker, added tens of laughing emojis.

John Boyega, who plays Finn, joked that his co-star had made some “great points” before making a “final point” of also posting rows of laughing emojis.

Hamill replied: “Good to know we're on the same page, son.”
