Some fandoms are better than others. Simon Pegg has appeared in several major franchises, including Mission Impossible, Star Trek, and Doctor Who, as well as many other beloved properties.
During an appearance on the Jim And Sam show, the actor was asked which franchise had the hardest fans to please. The Star Wars fans seem to be the most toxic at the moment. I think I'm being very controversial to say that.
It is not a controversial thing to say to someone who is a member of the toxic side of Star Wars. He apologized for his comments about Jar Jar Binks. There was an actor involved. He was getting a lot of negative feedback. He suffered because it got a lot of hate.
He found that Star Trek fans were very inclusive. Star Trek is about being diverse. Since 1966 it has been that way. You don't have to say, 'Oh, you're suddenly being woke now.' From the start, Star Trek was woken.
Pointing to the progressive casting of non-white actors from the beginning of Star Trek, he said, "Star Wars suddenly there's, there's a little bit more diversity and everyone's kicking off about it." It's really sad.
