GET WOKE, GO BROKE: Disney Disaster: Star Wars Spinoffs On Hold.
Pardon my language, but Kathleen Kennedy fucked up the most un-fuck-up-able product ever invented. She was handed the surest thing in history, and blew it.
Killing off Han Solo? Is she deranged?
Turning Luke Skywalker into a coward, a near-child murderer, a loser who runs from a fight? Nuts.
Turning Yoda into a literal book burner, an act that spits all over everything that came before, which would be like turning James Bond into a gay communist. She has lost her mind.
And then there is Kennedy’s nutty decision to use Star Wars, an escapist fantasy that is supposed to have zero to do with 21st century America, into a soapbox for her obnoxious politics. Even if you agree with her politics, you still cannot defend the spell-breaking, character-insulting, sucker-punching effect this has on the storytelling, on the whole point of a Star Wars movie –which is to enjoy two hours in the dark someplace else, someplace where we are not arguing over skin color and cake baking.
At least George Lucas was smart enough to bury his own radical left politics far deeper into the Star Wars fundament back in 1977.
