AEW Star Calls Star Wars Fans An Illness

While some people consider Star Wars to be the greatest franchise in history, others do not. One who does not is All Elite Wrestling star Britt Baker who had some very negative things to say about the franchise recently.

While appearing on Busted Open Radio, Baker said that it is an illness and that she almost slapped Tony Schiavone for his explanation of it. Here is the quote, courtesy of Fightful:

“Well, I don’t sit around watching all 30 episodes of Star Wars, that’s for sure. I’m so sick of it. My good buddy, Tony Schiavone and I, we don’t agree with this, we don’t get along about this, but I just can’t for the life of me figure out how people can get into it. I literally tried and I fell asleep within 5 minutes. I can’t get into it.

This Star Wars stuff is an illness. I don’t get it. I want to understand it because I want to help these people. I’m a physician. I want to know what I can do to help these people, but I can’t figure it out. We gotta have more extensive research done about what’s going on in the minds of these Star Wars freaks, really.

You know what Tony Schiavone told me, he said it perfectly explains the human soul and I almost smacked him across the face. I said listen to yourself, listen to yourself, Tony, oh my God, I can’t believe it.”

Britt Baker recently defeated Thunder Rosa at AEW Beach Break. She will also be competing in the AEW Women’s Championship Eliminator Tournament.
