Hope the edibles kick in

well thanks alot Disney

After the travesty of Ep8, I wont be watching this anyway.

Great . I have grand mal seizures . Guess I’ll miss this one .

Another reason to not watch it, as if we needed any more reasons.

.. sounds like a rational (legal) disclaimer .. ../ A grand jury re-indicted John Rayne Rivello for sending a seizure-inducing tweet to journalist Kurt Eichenwald in 2016../

Also those with migraine ought to avoid.

Other side-effects include depression and suicidal tendencies.

This is news only because Star Wars. Epilepsy warnings are not new.

...and if you don't have epilepsy, you will after viewing?

So do my Christmas lights

Imagine being offended that Disney is issuing an epilepsy warning. that Disney is trying to avoid giving someone a bloody seizure... like? How ableist do you have to be to have a problem with this?

Pretty much every video game has the same warning nowadays. Yawn.

Really? compliment of the season to everyone🎅

Not everyone with epilepsy has seizures because of lights. It can be from noise, temperature 🤒(heat and cold). The temperature in the environment is important.

Let’s all eat bugs 🤣🤣🤣

Pssst, Disney, all of the Star Wars movies have sequences of flashing lights. Lightsaber battles, blaster fire, and massive battles to name a few.

It also features a female lead role played by a politically ignorant non-American woman who should keep her damn mouth shut about USA politics.

Why did they not warn 'contains terrible amounts of awful that destroys the franchise'.

Look if Disney' candypops it & whites it up' in movies & tv' they will see their veiwership go down! Prove me wrong that? them being in tv' & movies is the right thing? Their thym parks, have already wages & human trafficking-est' issues! Like 6flags & half a dozen others. blm19

I don’t like the fiction movies , I prefer for the Chilldren’ s more selections more Constructive and Instructive for your good formations , the fictions not teaching nothing, please.”

So? It won’t contain much of an audience anyway so there’s that unless you enjoy SJW DISNEY car wrecks. It’s “Ghostbusters” in space with how badly they’ve hammered this franchise. RIP STAR WARS.

And those with Migraine! Great!

I also heard its family friendly Star Wars.

Should have ended with the original three episodes. Both the prequels and sequels are atrocious.

Ppl w/ PE don't go 2 the Movies, in the 1st Place. An Idiot could figure that out.

Hypnosis to make you think this is actually a good movie, maybe?

According to , this is breaking news, according to every person who's ever watched a movie or played an 8-bit or higher video game, it's not. Then again this is probably the most substance they've reported all week.
