Some guy made a sexist 46-minute cut of 'The Last Jedi' by editing out the women — and it's awful

This post includes spoilers for "Star Wars: The Last Jedi."

An apparent "Star Wars" fan who's fed up with "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" edited the movie to reduce the role of women.

The result is a semi-coherent 46-minute film that erases the entire role of resistance admiral Amilyn Holdo, played by Laura Dern, and kills off Princess Leia, played by Carrie Fisher, early in the film. It's also racist, severely curtailing the role of the character who the editor calls "Asian chick," presumably Kelly Marie Tran, who plays Rose Tico in the movie.

The anonymous fan posted a torrent file for the edited movie to The Pirate Bay on Sunday, titling it "The Last Jedi: De-Feminized Fanedit (aka The Chauvinist Cut)" and describing it as "basically The Last Jedi minus Girlz Powah and other silly stuff." It's cut from an illegal camera recording of the movie from a movie theater, the user wrote in the torrent description.

The new edit of the movie is part of a sexist and racist backlash towards "The Last Jedi" by "Star Wars" fans who resent that a woman, Rey, is at the center of Disney's new trilogy. Following the movie's release, members of the Alt-Right took credit for organizing a wave of negative attention toward the movie.

Among the changes, Luke Skywalker's character is modified so he starts training Rey immediately, instead of "whining" at first, and doesn't drink green milk. The editor cuts out "most shots showing female fighters/pilots and female officers commanding people around/having ideas." And Leia "never scolds, questions nor demotes Poe," who eventually carries out the kamikaze attack instead of Admiral Holdo, who's cut out of the edit.

Furthermore, Kylo Ren kills Leia and kills most of Snoke's guards, while Rey struggles with a single one, and there's "no bomber heroism by china girl in the beginning."

The editor of the "De-Feminized Fanedit" concedes the brief runtime isn't ideal, but stands behind it.

"You will probably enjoy it most when you view it less as a blockbuster movie and more as some kind of episode from some non-existent mediocre Star Wars series," they wrote. "But for what it's worth, it can now at least be viewed without feeling nauseous about most of the terrible big and small decisions they made in this film."

Since the news site Pedestrian wrote an article about the edit on Monday, fans of "The Last Jedi" have taken to Twitter to mock it as the work of a "men's rights activist" or "MRA."

Many of them mocked the man for editing a film to reflect his own lonely life devoid of female companionship.

Another referred to the video as "the first movie in history that actually gives its viewers cooties."

Others simply pointed out how ridiculous the project is.

Even "The Last Jedi" director Rian Johnson chimed in — even if only to laugh at the guy.

Here's a full list of changes the editor said were made in "The Last Jedi: De-Feminized Fanedit," with typos perserved:

- No whiny/reluctant/murderous psycho Luke. He does tell his story, but that's it. In the beginning of the movie, he has already started to train Rey, no convincing needed.
- No green milk.
- Cut out most shots showing female fighters/pilots and female officers commanding people around/having ideas.
- NO HALDO! She simply doesn't exist. Her whole subplot doesn't exist. The Kamikaze is carried out by Poe. ( = Poe dies.)
- Leia never scolds, questions nor demotes Poe. He is a respected and very skilled high-ranking member of the resistance.
- Lea dies. Kylo kills her.
- Kylo is more badass and much less conflicted and volatile, for example he does not smash his helmet. Luke did not try to murder him, he chose for himself.
- Snoke disappears after he is "killed", leaving a reverb laughter (could be done better, but was lazy).
- Kylo takes on more of Snoke's guards, Rey struggles with a single one.
- No bomber heroism by china girl in the beginning.
- No Canto Bight. ( = No weird goggled alien woman during union dispute.)
- No superpowered Rey. She does get to show off a little bit of skill, because she is now shown to already be in training in the beginning of the movie. Interestingly, with these edits she now seems more graceful and real to me, that I almost like her as a character. She still saves the people in the end.
- Less Porg nonsense.
- Luke is not a semi-force-ghost and is smashed by the first laser cannon shot. (sorry, I just had to!)
- When Rey and Kylo fight for the lightsaber, Rey flies away, Kylo remains standing. (there is no footage showing how she gets away, unfortunately - maybe with deleted scenes someday? My idea was that Kylo has mercy and lets her get away)
- No force-connection between Kylo and Rey. Was kinda pointless. (Though now there's no good explanation why she goes on Snoke's ship. Let's say she wants to save Finn.)
- Wookie eats the Porg, or at least isn't interrupted in trying to do so.
- No Rey beating up Luke. (obviously)
- No Yoda.
- No Jedi archives.
- Rey does not force-grab Kylo's lightsaber. One of the many things that made him look like a weakling.
- The Keymaster is now simply some random guy from the crew who isn't really important or even introduced.
- Phasma is finished after the first blow by Finn. (Women are naturally weaker than men, she isn't force-sensitive, and we know nothing about any exo-skeleton in her suit)
- Finn's final sacrifice would have been awesome, but it was ruined by the Asian chick, so the whole sequence was dropped.
- Asian chick speaks less, doesn't bully Finn, Finn doesn't try to escape, she is never formally introduced. She is just there and occasionally smiles at Finn or screams "Finn!". She has no sister. Serves her right for all the heinous stuff she did.
- "General Leia's" is censored from the intro "General Leia's resistance fighters". It's just "resistance fighters" now.
- Lots of little cuts reducing the number of female facial shots. Too many to count. (Pun intended.)
- For example, when there's a scene where a woman is cut in making some important statement that can be substituted by another statement by a guy, then she gets cut out. Works pretty well actually.
- Quite a few scenes rearranged so that the flow of the shortened movie is still somewhat coherent.
