I am a wee bit tired in this vid, so sorry it isn't as well fleshed out as usual. There was a lot of info to sift through and it's a bit overwhelming haha.

The failure of one.
The failure of two.
The failure of $180 million.

The original Star Wars movies, had tall Wookiees, short Ewoks, black, white, aliens, old, young, humanoid, and alien, etc. It was already naturally diverse.

Daisy Ridley wasn’t the problem with Rey. At least not to the point of being insufferable. Rey is insufferable as a byproduct of the script. Amandla Stenberg is insufferable independently of the script.

Modern Star Wars Writers: “Old Star Wars doesn’t have enough powerful female characters.”

Leia, Mon Mothma, and Padme: “Are we a joke to you?”

They try to be so inclusive that they exclude the fans

I’m an actor. These people are not actors, rather, they are activists. And activists do not make good art.

If one of your actors during an interview says : "When Anakin blew up the Death Star he probably killed millions and millions of people" and neither of his co-star or the interviewer even correct him... you show how much you know about the project and the world you're working within.

I'm still angry at the end of TFA where Leia ignored Chewy and hugs Rey instead.

Disney shills: “if you don’t like it, don’t watch it because it’s not for you.”
Star Wars fans: (don’t watch it)
Disney: cancels season 2 because of low viewership

Disney shills:…how could Star wars fans do this?!

When Kennedy says "What would George do?" she means "we ask ourselves what 'Would George do?' so that we can then do the opposite."

The craziest part is Star Wars was loved by men and women alike. It was never a "boys club."

19:30 Natalie Portman would be sooooo cancelled these days for saying "[men and women] are different and that's undeniable." And that's sad.

@drtaverner 2 years ago

Watch Leia stand up to Tarkin and honestly tell me Star Wars has no strong women. WTF are KK and Headland talking about?

When you blame the fan base...you know you fooked up.

The actress saying Star Wars is patriarchal. She has no idea how iconic and revolutionary was Princess Leia almost FIFTY years ago.

@noslipgrip89 2 years ago

“So my character is a powerful leader.”
(Crickets)
“A powerful leader.”
(One person starts cheering)
“YES! YES!”
Isn’t that response so emblematic of the audience they have tried to court with their overt girlboss approach to Star Wars?

@honestwatchreviewshwr 2 years ago

The ironic thing is that there were far better, three-dimensional, believable strong female characters in films before this whole 'movement' came about. Princess Leia, Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor to name a few.

@CplVelasco 2 years ago

It's weird how NOBODY had a problem with Samuel L. Jackson, John Boyega, or Billy Dee Williams in SW. So the racism angle is just stupid and incredibly exhausted. Maybe look at Leslye Headland for being an incompetent director. Or you can look at the atrocious writing. But what do I know, I'm just a fan. Well, I was anyway. Disney Star Wars is trash

The show was canceled for the same reason the all female Ghost Busters movie bombed.. not because of 'incels" or right wingers.. but simply because the show sucked.. poor acting, poor writing.. will kill a show every time.
