Disney has cast a transgender actor, a biological male who identifies as a woman, for the role of Ensign Eurus in the new “Star Wars” series on the Disney+ streaming site due out next year.
The 30-year-old British actor is part of the Lucasfilm franchise after being chosen for “The Acolyte.” The series is set to take place near the end of the High Republic Era and sets the stage for the collapse of the Jedi, according to Screenrant.
United Agents, a literary and talent agency, described Abigail Thorn as a British YouTuber and playwright who is best known for producing the Philosophy Tube channel on YouTube. Thorn will be joined on the project by non-binary actor Amanda Steinberg, The Direct noted.
Lucasfilm teased the series at the 2023 Star Wars Celebration, however it is unclear how big of a role Thorn’s character will play, the outlet noted.
The move to hire a transgender star comes after the casting of transgender and non-binary actor Zoe Terakes for “Ironheart,” the next series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is expected to release sometime in the fall on the streaming site.
In 2021, the “Star Wars” franchise introduced and celebrated two “trans non-binary” characters by the names Terec and Ceret in its Marvel and Star Wars comic book “The High Republic.”

He’s just a man pretending to be a woman.
Like, who gives a chit?
Tuck-1-D-2?
How enlightened.
Well, I do.
I live 35 miles from Disney World and don’t plan on ever going there again.
They are, simply, not my folks.
End of story, adios MFs!
Disney keeps kicking themselves over and over in the nuts
They keep pushing and normies are pushing back
I used to be as much a Star Wars fan as anybody else. But Disney has poisoned my love for it. I won't be going back to it again.
They’re like cats. They never learn.
I have no interest in seeing a man playing a woman in ‘Star Wars’.
Just as I have have no interest in, say, seeing a turtle play Captain Kirk.
Disney doesn’t seem to get all that. Oh, well. I guess I’ll keep my ticket money in my pocket.
What’s the character’s name again?
“Ensign Uranus? Hmm. Kinda catchy, but not in the best way.”
Princess lie-a
As long as women bring their kids to Orlando and pay $120+ per day to them Groomed, why should Disney care about what Americans think?
Gee...if I subscribed to that Disney channel I’d be able to ignore that show.
Disney’s slow suicide continues.
I read yesterday that Disney has lost over $800 million in the last couple of years. I suppose they have not lost enough.
They have lost $800 MILLION on their crap woke movies so far. I cannot believe they are doubling down yet again. This will send their total woke crapola losses over a billion.
What in the world is the rationale to put a fake woman in the role? It makes no sense.
