Disney's 'Gayest Ever' Star Wars Banished to a Galaxy Far, Far Away
The $180m eight-episode series is canned after no-one but Jar Jar Binks liked it
Disney’s new Star Wars series - promoted as “the gayest ever” - has been cancelled after just one season.
Even Chirrut Îmwe was able to see that one coming!
Hopefully the series - featuring a lesbian witches coven where the mostly women of colour used the Force to impregnate each other - will be banished to a galaxy far, far away.
Very far, far away.
The signs were bad from the beginning after Disney chose activist queer (have you ever met a queer who was not an activist?) Leslye Headland to write and direct the series.
Asked if this would be “the gayest Star Wars ever”, Headland told her interviewer …
“I’m into it!”
No-one else was.
Headland is now looking for a new opportunity to ruin an iconic series with LGBTQ ideology.
Disney will likely oblige.
Back in 2022 Karey Burke, president of Disney’s General Entertainment Content, said she wanted half of all Disney characters to be from minority groups such as the LGBTQIA community.
Burke’s interest in a galaxy where heterosexuals are far, far away is personal. She has a trans child and a pansexual child.
When I was a kid - that was also in a galaxy far, far away - Star Wars featured Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher, famously good actors.
The new series, Acolyte, featured Amandla Stenberg who is famously non binary and gay.
Charlie Barnett, who is famous for coming out as gay at age 13.
And Abigail Thorn, who is famous for being trans.
So inclusive. So diverse. And, as it turns out, so bloody boring. No-one cared!
Well, I mean, the activists cared. They really cared.
Website Mashable reckoned it all made sense …
“Despite plenty of real world evidence that queer people and queer animals exist all over the globe, there aren’t any queer folk in an entire galaxy? That’s absurd!”
Seriously?
Star Wars is an iconic series that has featured characters like Darth Vada and Jabba the Hutt. But activists were worried it wasn’t sufficiently representative of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras?
Was C3PO not gay enough?
It’s science fiction, for God’s sake.
Another gay film reviewer enthused that Acolyte …
“Questioned institutional powers and norms”.
Disney spent $180m on eight episodes of queer eye for the Star Wars guy in order to question norms and represent gender fluidity.
Leslye Headland has no regrets. She calls Acolyte - a series barely anyone watched and that even the gay execs at Disney couldn’t justify continuing into a second series - her life’s most important work.
George Lucas would be furious at what Disney has done to the Star Wars franchise.
Or maybe not.
Disney paid Lucas Film $4b for the right to transition his series from pure entertainment loved, by the masses, into gay propaganda rightly ignored by the masses.
What fools Disney have become.
The $180 million would have been better spent on therapy for the alphabet people.
I guess it is good that it is banished. Disney is so bad these days. I sent it to all my grandchildren who have children so they know. These people are destroying everything they touch
