If you thought losing hundreds of millions of dollars would deter The Walt Disney Company from continuing its embrace of leftist politics, think again.
On Saturday, Disney’s Lucasfilm released “Star Wars: Tales of the Empire,” an anthology series highlighting different characters from across the Star Wars universe. While the show is clearly marketed to children, that didn’t stop showrunners from featuring a character using “they/them” pronouns.
In one of the episodes, the Galactic Empire dispatches two Inquisitors — force-wielding dark-side users — to hunt down a Jedi spotted on a distant world. Upon arriving at the planet, one of the Inquisitors asks a young boy where she can find the Jedi. The boy eventually tells her “they” are hiding in the mountains, giving viewers the impression that there is more than one Jedi.
After the two Inquisitors make their way to the top of the mountains, they encounter a single Jedi — and the show’s writers make it very obvious that this Jedi uses “they/them” pronouns.
“They’re still alive,” one of the Inquisitors says after her partner stabbed the Jedi in the back. “We need to get them to the ship. We can save them.”
Parents concerned about their children being exposed to radical gender ideology should also be advised that “Tales of the Empire” is hardly the only Star Wars programming seeking to advance such ideas. According to Not the Bee, Lucasfilm’s upcoming “Star Wars: The Acolyte” series is packed with LGBT-identifying actors, such as Amandla Stenberg, “who is gay, non-binary and uses she/her and they/them pronouns.”
The program’s showrunner, Leslye Headland — who identifies as a “queer woman” — told media in 2021 that her experiences would be reflected in the show and, as described by Game Rant, “believes her queerness will come through in the show, even if it happens to be on a subconscious level.”
“[T]here’s just no way that me being a queer woman is not going to be reflected in my work,” Headland said. It’s worth mentioning that Headland’s partner, actress Rebecca Henderson, has a featured role in “The Acolyte.”
Lucasfilm’s shoehorning of LGBT insanity into programs meant for children further exposes the dishonesty of CEO Bob Iger, who claimed during the company’s annual shareholder meeting last month that Disney’s gambol with political activism and injecting leftist ideology into its content was over.
“I’ve always believed that we have a responsibility to do good in the world, but we know our job is not to advance any kind of agenda,” Iger said. “For as long as I’m in the job, I’m going to continue to be guided by a sense of decency and respect, and we’ll always trust our instincts.”
Our job is to “entertain, first and foremost,” he added.
Disney’s embrace of left-wing identity politics has not gone unnoticed by parents. In July 2023, the New York Post reported that the House of Mouse had lost nearly $1 billion “on its last eight feature films, several of which include prominent ‘woke’ characters.” Rather than acknowledge the destruction leftist ideology has wrought on its brand, Disney has continued to double down, even attacking fans for the company’s failed projects.
Normalizing gender confusion - a mental disorder - is an attempt NOT to “be fair” to the gender confused but to push gender confusion as acceptable, normal, for anyone to chose to do.
Disney is dead to me. Eff them and the sodomy they rode in on.
Maybe its LGBTQ jargon and they were actually looking for the nearest gay bar.
Luke i used to be your father, now i am your mother... and your sister is now non-binary
Luke, I am your.... non-birther parent.... not that a father can’t give birth you see. Join me and together we will rule the galaxy as.... non-birther parent and.... how do you identify? I mean, I just chopped off your hand but I don’t want to misgender you.
bttt
May The FORCED Be With You, Always!
Good thing nobody watches Star Wars anymore. They are indoctrinating nobody. Giant circle jerk.
Thank God my kids are in their 50’s and I have no grand-children, or great-grandchildren, and never will.
It’s not our fault, it’s ‘cause of Kathleen Kennedy.
But then Kathleen Kennedy’s just like...F**k it! Make it more lame!
No, please, Kathleen Kennedy, stop ruining everything!
But Kathleen Kennedy is all like...Put another gay diverse woman in it. Make it more f**king lame.
And Disney stock just keeps going down and down and down! And then Bob Iger is all like...No! No! What’s going on with my stocks? No, Kathleen Kennedy!
I thought “The Orville” might be a fun reincarnation of “Star Trek.” I watched a segment of it on YouTube and it was about a disgusting “male?” character married to another “male” character, apparently from a culture that when they have a female baby, change its sex. There was some cutsey fun dialog, but the plot was stomach turning.
I’m aware the original “Star Teck” addressed social issues. But they were at least real issues and not trying to make normal an apparently all male race.
Even NCIS has turned into a homo-promo.
Disney’s Stock dumped 10% TODAY...on a their quarterly earnings report.
So that was nice to see.
I’m slogging through “Andor,” supposedly one of the less awful “Star Wars” Disney spin-offs — and am about to give up on it without finishing.
It’s a complete departure from the original cinematic “Star Wars”, with disposable characters and plot lines that I just don’t care about. There’s a brief reference to some lesbian love affair that’s completely gratuitous.
The Force? Nowhere to be found. It doesn’t even have funny parts.
Disney killed “Star Wars” For me.
May the Farce be with you.
Disney is truly the Dark Side.
BFD
You have to take them out of the schools and off of screens to stop this brainwashing
Missing a film is nothing.
waste of bandwidth
