From female politicians to breakfast cereals, Alt-Right has caught the attention of the public with its fierce (albeit trivial) oppositions to its common philosophies. Now their current target is the upcoming blockbuster sci-fi film "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story."

It is often difficult for decent individuals to take Alt-Right's position seriously. Like many radical groups in the United States, most of their complaints are overblown trifles. To understand what sets them off, it is important to consider the underlying themes conveyed by "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story."
This film is comprised of galactic society's rejects standing up against an empire. According to a comprehensive analysis by Wired, the very theme of "Rogue One" is an assault on the principal identity of America's majority population - the average middle-class white people.
