In April, the Rotten Tomatoes score for The Last Jedi dropped to 47%. Although, some were asking if the real score was 24%. Then others began noticing oddities in the Rotten Tomatoes score for The Last Jedi in June; someone or a group of organized someones was padding The Last Jedi’s Rotten Tomatoes score with fake 5 star reviews.
Then around October 12th it was noticed that activists were flooding the Rotten Tomatoes score of Star Wars Resistance with fake 5 star reviews.
Now Twitter user Dataracer has noted the following:
1,000 FAKE ⭐⭐⭐⭐ reviews for #StarWarsResistance have been put on @RottenTomatoes. 84% of the 1.3k Audience Reviews are fake. Lucasfilm is trying to suppress #StarWars fan criticism. pic.twitter.com/gNg8Q6bRN5

Flooding the Rotten Tomatoes score with 5 Star Activism is a strange way to act for those who feel that Rotten Tomatoes scores mean nothing.
