- Another day, another Star Wars controversy. This time its Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy the director of the new Star Wars movie about nobody's favourite character Rey, declaring its about time women were allowed to tell the story of Star Wars. Needless to say, it didn't go down well.

I am Italian and an Italian never directed a star wars movie. It's 2024 and I think it's about time an Italian directs a Star Wars movie.

@@JonathanRodriguez-nz9nwYeah, like, if Disney was an individual they'd have come home to a house full of friends and family who all had prepared statements by now, "you're hurting us and yourself too."
Fun Fact: she is from Pakistan, my country; she got an Oscar for a short film she made about "acid Burnt victims" Saving Faces; she promised/signed contracts with the victims to pay the money to tell their story on camera; she got the Oscar, and to this day she has not paid a single dime to them.

And she blamed men for those attacks instead of islam religion!
While man outside muslim countries/religion do not commit such atrocities so often.....

The restaurant analogy.
You purchase a popular, long running restaurant franchise with solid theme bult up over decades and a solid customer base who loving remember going there as children. The menu is based on tasty comfort food and big portions. As the new owner you have a dream to make people change their eating habits. You begin to add to the menu new items not in line with the old menu. They are healthy, small portion items that tick all the right buzz words. Vegan, sustainable, ethical, gluten free and low calorie. But are ultimately tasteless, unfulfilling and unmemorable. To promote the new menu items, you begin to diminish and remove old fan favourites. You begin to lose money and cop bad reviews. In addition, some of the real die-hard fans of the restaurant take to social media and really stick it to you. Rather than understanding your customer base you fight back, calling them toxic and double down on your new menu as well as hiring long standing activists and promoters of ethical food to manage your franchise. At this point the entirety of the fan base is looking on with disbelief and shear bewilderment at what you are serving up. Yes, the logo is there, the familiar music and decor. But the food has completely disconnected from what they remember. In disappointment they quietly leave. Eventually you go broke.
You should be grateful to this woman.
She saved you the price of a movie ticket.
I feel the same way. Saw this after I put up my comment. Fnck Disney and their lame decisions.
And 2 - 2 1/2 hours of your time.
Yeah, I'll just buy some beer and drink to the memory of star wars instead of seeing this trash heap.
Nobody cares about no star wars anyway. It's wack
Saved myself that price after watching The Force Awakens... what is this new garbage? It's unwatchable.
"I'm not a trained film maker, just an activist" She actually said that out loud. Like we are supposed to applaud or something andI've said it many times before: Kathleen Kennedy is 100% doing all of this out of pure spite. Long before even South Park pointed it out. I can only imagine how dark and empty her heart must be.
I'm just over shit people not knowing what they are doing, in whatever position they are in. This "woman" deserves to fail, and with an attitude like hers, she surely will. And then blame it on men, naturally.
I'm not trained dentist ... not a good start.
@@maxinelouchis7272 Imagine someone who got taken to the hospital for a brain hemorrhage and the doctor says, “I’m not a trained Neurosurgeon, but I am an activist”
Somebody call Pakistan. Apparently some r-a-g-h-e-a-d over there lost his goat and she's roaming free in Lucasfilm Studios causing all kinds of trouble.

Often not mentioned is...
Macia Lucas won the Academy Award for Best Film Editing in 1977 for Star Wars (1977)
Leigh Brackett wrote The Empire Strikes Back
And Disney threw Kathy Tyers' _The Truce at Bakura_ under a kriffing bus!
This is the most measured, considerate, and fair dialogue I think I've ever seen in your videos, and I say that as someone who's seen a fair amount! Good show sir, and respect for maintaining principle in critiquing someone you'd disagree with, even when your detractors don't do the same.
Casting a radical feminist to direct a new Star Wars movie, lead by arguably the most disliked character in all of Star Wars! What a truly inspired decision 👏
KK was clearly involved
Exactly 🤦🏻♂️
@@marcogenovesi8570 She's involved in everything. She's the boss of Lucas Film.
At this point I think that's the whole plan. Disney is wanting a PR acceptable out from their social justice bent. So they chose the absolute worst person to run the show on the worst character for all the social justice points BECAUSE it will crash and burn and lose so much money. So they can point at it to the media and shareholders as the reason they abandon the message. "The market doesn't want this anymore and is rejecting it so we are following the will of our fans" or some corpo speak like that
The new movie is about Jar Jar???
What it boils down to is that they hired her for diversity and activism "brownie points" literally.
We all suspect where this is going and I doubt they'll prove us wrong.
I bet dollars to donuts she knows literally NOTHING about Star Wars, the Star Wars universe, the sci-fi or space opera genres, any context of why the films were successful in the first place, or anything else that would qualify her to be the director of a feature length SW movie.
@@mco3884 Well, I mean, the guy who made Andor knew next to nothing about Star Wars and that show came out great.
@@archstanton9073 He had a lore consultant and checked the Wookiepedia.
Disney needed extra ESG points to take the heat off of their debt.
I just wonder how big of a paycheck is BlackRock giving to Disney for them to keep pushing those activists on what used to be profitable and beloved IPS
Well done for the justified defence of those clips of old interviews.
It’s important we are the ones that act fairly and honestly as it benefits us more in the long run.
Thank you for clearing that up. It's definitely not fair that she's being criticized for saying she "likes to make men uncomfortable" if she was talking about murderers. She was taken out of context.
As for Star Wars in my opinion having a female director isn't a bad thing, where Disney went wrong was DESTROYING the Skywalker/Solo family. The fans would not have a problem with female protagonists or a female director because female influence is not unheard of in Star Wars. What fans were ultimately angry about was the new films destruction of legacy characters and message of hope the original trilogy had.
Remember when people got hired because they were qualified for the job and actually liked their job? Good times...
Dude, i was once called sexist for making this exact comment. Even though i wasn't in any way implying that women can't do a good job. I don't give two shits about someone's gender. I care about talent. And oh boy they're sooo indoctrinated, soo insecure and soo freakin... BAAAD, that they actually try to claim in all seriousness, that there's no such thing as talent.
Where the fuck are all these horrible people crawling out of ffs?

@@vertigo2894come on, there has to be some brain cells left
As a woman I can't even talk about new star wars without getting angry more angry than my husband. He hates bringing up the topic because I get heated, I start yelling. I love star wars, grew up on stars wars. My daddy took me to see star wars as a very little girl barely old enough to enjoy a non Disney movie because he knew I would love it. I grew up with bad ass space princess Leia as my hero. This crap they have done with star wars just makes me well angry. its insulting to men and women as well as just bad story telling. Star wars was for everyone it was big, epic and made a little girl like me dream of flying a spaceship and fighting with swords. I never felt like I wasn't part of star wars or that star wars wasn't for me as a girl because I knew it was for me, Its for everyone. saying star wars needs a woman director or writer for me to enjoy it is just insulting. The director or writer needs to be passionate about the topic no matter what they identify as, that doesn't matter and it shouldn't matter especially for a film about a galaxy far far away.
We’ll said
Well said
Well said.
Well said.
Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.
And honestly, I kinda want them to suffer these days.
The last Star Wars movie I saw in theaters was The Force Awakens. Want to know what the best part of going to that movie was? Seeing the Zootopia trailer before the movie even started. It was the sloth scene at the “DMV.” Got more laughs and emotion out of me than the entirety of the film that followed.
Well but u missed the only SW good film since disney owed lucasfilm, Rogue One
@@user-ug3gw9tl5w I did see that movie out of theaters. I did enjoy it, but parts of it still bothered me a bit. I certainly agree though, it has been the best film they’ve released through Disney
Thank you for clearing up the context of the earlier clips surfacing. When I saw people extrapolating them for easy outrage I lost a bit of faith. Those clips shouldn’t be the ones focused on.
I applaud Disney for how easy they make it to write off their movies before they even start filming.
What they really need is for you to give up on the original trilogy because that’s where the real magic lives.
They probably haven't even written it yet and they've already ruined it! Truly impressive!
They didn't make it easy, people like you just like writing off movies based on internet headlines.
Swoopyng is BAD
@@myles6235Tell me, what credentials does she have to have earned a director’s gig for one of the largest franchises in history? Are you actually going to try and deny that she was hired for her activism and gender? lol
I'm under 16. It's 2024, so I think someone under 16 should direct a Star Wars movie, because everyone was above 18.
Would probably do a better job tbh😭
Your hired.
So they hire a toddler to avoid a repeat with 15/14/13/12...yos.
I'm game, I'm sure you and your friends could fart out a better script than what Disney has cooking.
Now if only you could put a coherent thought together.
Millions of dollars cried out in terror and were suddenly spent.
I love that you took the High Road (or shall I say "The High Ground") when adressing Chinoy's comments from years back, their context and how they shouldn't be taken out of context. I don't think at all she's qualified for the job and I question the motives why she *specifically* was hired to direct the next SW-Movie, but one should be fair with criticism.
_”It’s about time a woman shaped the future of a galaxy far, far away…”_
Marcia Lucas: *_”Am I a joke to you??”_*
Exactly! She was the reason for so many of the decisions for the original trilogy! George went to her first with most of his ideas!

Woman of color > woman of talent
- Disney, 2024
Without Marcia Lucas, Star Wars would have been another footnote in the history of film. A handful of people would have gone to see it in May of '77, then by June it would have been pulled from theaters and George would have gone and done something else. There would be no Episode V, much less the prequels, EU, and whatever has happened since Disney bought it.
@@curtishammer748 Why? What did she do that was so impressive?
Even if Sharmeen does fine and doesn't go nuts, a Rey movie will go down like The Marvels.
With her mindset it's impossible to make a decent movie.
It's a stinker of the idea in the first place and dear old Sharmeen is just a crappy cherry on top of it
@@susivarga7303 Yes, people always, ALWAYS say that "In theory no, not every one of these movies that HAS to feature a woman replacing a male character, or directing, or writing, or producing, etc is going to be bad" yes, yes it is. They all fit a specific mold. This movie's going to have at least one scene where the female characters lambast the male characters or just outright demean, emasculate, overpower, outperform, and/or make fools of them, on the basis of nothing other than 'because we are female and you are men'. They do it every single time, without fail, and people will just say "I-it wasn't THAT bad" because they don't want to anger the twitter mob.
The fact that people see these scenes now and just expect them and accept them and say "Well aside from the (woke crap) this tv show/movie wasn't TOO bad" as opposed to rightfully criticizing them ten years ago, is not a sign that these movies are getting better. It's a sign that the tired and desperate Marvel and Disney fandoms are completely beaten down to the point where they'll accept anything as long as it's more content which means their favorite franchise isn't quite COMPLETELY dead yet... They need to just accept the loss and move on.
"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened" - Abradolf Lincler
No, IMO this could make "The Marvels" look like Shakespear's greatest works.
the movie will be about Rey rebuilding the jedi academy. Luke was supposed to do it but hey the force is female lmao.
I appreciate you taking a fair and balanced approach with the facts in this, specifically in reference to this directors' prior, unrelated statements. Great movie reviews. Now, if we could just get mainstream news to be as fair and balanced.
Gotta say, that is a really good and grounded opinion. I like that you were aware of the context of those controversial quotes and that you bypassed the whole gender debate by getting to the heart of the issue-marketing. Nice stuff.
"it's time for a woman to do..."
Whenever you hear this, you just KNOW whatever follows will be something made out of perceived necessity to cater to woke audiences rather than a project of love and care.
Reminds me of the 2016 election when it was "Hillary's turn" like excuse the fuck out of me that's not how our government or country works

@@Fr00steethey are all broke and perpetually online. How do you make money from people like that?
In the year 2024, there hasn't been a German involved in starring or directing a Star Wars film. Therefore, as a German myself, I insist that Uwe Boll directs the next Star Wars movie, and Christoph Waltz takes on the role of either Duke Eyestalker or Bark Fader. This is my firm demand!
Waltz als ein Sith..
Now that would be something.
What makes you think Uwe Boll would make a good Star Wars movie?
@@kunstspielklavier185 The same "logic" that's behind Disney's reasoning.
like my teacher always said "too many white men in movies" no I'm not kidding
@@kunstspielklavier185I mean, it’s not like he can be even worse than what we’re getting.
Par for the course. But not worse.
She was speaking at WEF, that's enough for me to walk away.
Fr
Why was she talking about making men uncomfortable at an economic forum, though? 💀
Thank you for this - thank you for dialing back the hate and treating this unfortunate person fairly regarding her past statements. It doesn't matter anyway; Star Wars is done for. Kennedy is apparently never leaving, Favreau and Filoni aren't the genius creator/saviors we thought they'd be, and Bob Iger...well, I don't understand him at all. What a shame. What a loss.
"It's about time a woman directed a Star Wars film" My sister in Christ you RAN the company! So stunning and brave of Kathleen Kennedy who has been in charge for over a decade to finally allow a woman to direct a film right when excitement for the IP is at an all time low. Then when the movie fails they can blame the misogynistic fans (who I guess are most of the moviegoing public?)
There are no fans of disney's star wars.
She said "shape" not direct -- which is an even worse oversight on her behalf as the role Marcia Lucas played in shaping Star Wars was fundamental right from the start...
Each Disney flop feels like another adaptation of "The Producers." They had a scam where they collected investor money based upon promises of payouts based on the film's success. Then they intentionally got a pro-hitler (Springtime for Hitler in Germany song) Director, with the intention of producing a flop. But unlike that film, these films are not a success.
So who keeps throwing billions in investments for these flops?
But Rian directed one already and he's a huge vagina...
Star Wars is a guy flick. Naturally guys won't like it if it is changed into a feminist flick. So they made movies for feminists and now are surprised that non femonazzis don't like it. Wow.
Whenever I hear stuff like this, my first thought goes to Marcia Lucas. She was there from the very beginning of Star Wars and was just as instrumental as George in helping it come to life. So when people say that a woman is finally coming in to help make Star Wars stuff, I always think to myself, "Women have been there since the beginning. What are you talking about?"
There is a detail about women: women don't care about other women, they only care about themselves. Not all women are like that, but there are also a lot of them like that 😂
I'd go further than that. Star Wars would've been a complete disaster without it being saved in the editing room, and Marcia is primarily responsible for that. If nothing else it shows how shallow and insincere Disney is. They don't actually care about women and their contributions, they only care about patting themselves on the back.
She wasn’t the “right” woman
The fact that she doesn't seem to acknowledge what other women have done with Star Wars doesn't really show that she has a great interest in the franchise. Has she even watched the movies? Is she going to hire Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman as completely new characters or something like that?
Leigh Brackett had a major role in the script for Empire Strikes Back. Sadly, she died after turning the script in.
Im a major star wars fan and a girl. I have never felt so alienated by a fandom that keeps screaming it represents me. Padme, Ahsoka, Leia, Ventress, Luminara Unduli, etc. These characters meant so much to me growing up. They know they exist in a patriarchal world, yet these women overcome this obstacle through incredible hard work and sacrifice to become the amazing characters they are. In our world, like in star wars, misogyny and sexualisation exist (hello, Leia in a bikini as a major sex symbol). Pretending it doesnt exist OR screaming about it DOES NOT SPEAK TO YOUR FEMALE FANS. The characters I mentioned before are far more representative of women's struggles both in their galaxy and our own. Padmé even inspired me to get into politics. Rey earns her status through no hard work, no sacrifice, and her bloodline. These feminist executives spit in the face of feminism. It is literally embarrassing to be a star wars fan today.
You're lying about politics and whining about the rest...oh, and Leah in a space bikini was hot...
@@brianbender6369 what are you saying exactly?
Something they don't consider too, just because you're a woman it doesn't mean you don't relate to men, just like me being black does not mean I feel represented by blacks only. I feel more represented by Spike Spiegel in Cowboy Bebop the anime which is written by a Asian Japanese man and the character is a Jewish Bounty Hunter who does Martial Arts in outer space. Your gender or skin color is not the only thing that makes you, you and that's what these people are always boiling it down to. I'm 35, but growing up I did not care or ask for black representation.
There were always black characters around and I liked some and not others, but I didn't feel represented by black characters just because they were black. My favorite Super hero is the Flash. Some of my favorite characters are Blade, Static Shock, The flash, Gohan, Spike, Luke Skywalker, Vash, Kenshin Himura, L from Death note, Edward Full Metal Alchemist, Bit Cloud, Sly From Sly Cooper, if I made a list it would be huge and it would include some women too. Some are black, white, Asian, animal-humanoids, Aliens, Half Alien Human Hybrids, male female, robots, androids, it don't matter. And as far as living in a Patriarchal world....that's the default of reality and nobody really cared until recent human history and there's been instances of matriarchies in human history both good and bad that have committed atrocities too so it's not like it matters if the scene is patriarchal or matriarchal. So anyone pushing these ideals are wrong and foolish.
@@LeeDaTruth001 I agree with you so much! Well-written complex characters are always more compelling than identity politics, and relying on identity puts film in a tricky situation of inadvertently reinforcing harmful stereotypes. I so agree with you and you worded it so well!
@@LeeDaTruth001fr I'm Hispanic and never asked for representation. It's f*cking cringe when I see it tbh. Those are some sick characters you like too.
Your digression adds valuable nuance, thanks for that :)
Carrie Fisher as princess Leah will always be the woman who shaped star wars. Always has , the fact she doesnt acknowledge that is insulting
That would destroy her being chosen.
Prtty sure she never watched the original trilogy
@@jefry8393 Wouldnt surprise me.
They trippin.
And let us not forget Marcia Lucas who had an integral part of shaping Star Wars!
Notice that she didn’t say “I want to show people a different worldview” or something like that. She literally said that she wants to make people think the same way she does.
Hmm yep pure hubris and ego problem we have nowadays. Sense of entitlement etc. Its just so funny chinoy and zegler (i got no respect to write them correct) showed in just 15s of clips all wrong doing with modern echo chamber mentality. Modern society does not need that and we (should not) dont want it.
well it'S all about political corretness with them and thats inherently a fascist/stalinist idea.
Meaning she is/wants to be a dictator
That's all any of them ever want, to force their horrific world onto everyone.
Then don’t watch it.
Thanks for your honesty. You've been pulling towards center lately, and I can't say it makes your slurry essays any less fun. Enjoy your drinks!

4:03 Thank you Drinker, for being impartial and based. I don't care for things being taken out of context for political points.

THIS ☝🏻THE WHOOS. THEY ARE DESTROYING EVERYTHING. WHOO (pun intended)do you think RUNS DISNEY 🤷🏻♂️. BEHIND EVERY WOKE AGENDA YOU WILL FIND ONE.
Making men uncomfortable is heroic. Making women uncomfortable is criminal.
If you're a feminist or someone that doesn't understand gender dynamics, you're correct.
Her statement makes me uncomfortable even though I'm a woman.
Maybe it's criminal, don't know, doesn't make me want to watch her movie though.
Hong Kong 1989 Taiwan is a country
prolly sarcasm
but would be better to tell with quotation marks
Unless it is a man that says he is a woman then he can make women as uncomfortable as possible and the woman is wrong for feeling that way.
I used to be a huge star wars fan while growing up. I saw the prequels in theatres as a young boy, I watched all the movies, read all the books, and comics, and played all the video games. Hell the first video game i played was Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight when I was like 2. When disney bought out star wars and dismantled the canon I was dismayed, but when the force awakens came out my twenty year long love affair with Star Wars died. I gave the last jedi a chance because it had a new director and walked out of the theatre half way through, and when that happened star wars truly became dead to me. Seeing that they are still ruining the franchise with every release I believe I made the right choice when I walked away...
Disney did not dismantle the canon. It's still there. Read/watch and enjoy the extended universe pre-Disney as much as you want. The Disney stuff is just very expensive fan fiction.
Yes, me too, I don’t understand why someone would be a part of the franchise and then do everything to undermine and destroy the characters and the world they lived in .why not just create someth8ng new thst reflected her ideas rather than dismantle a loved story. It’s like rewriting Homers Illyad and portraying Achilles as a non binary 16 year old girl who is a pacifist .it adds nothing and destroys a real,character and events . I’m convinced all these attacks upon the male characters are based upon personal resentment and bitterness and a desire to undermine the creation of someone she worked for . It wouldn’t be so bad if there was a great exciting innovation in the storyline but there isn’t , it’s just malcontent resentment in every film .its a sad slow death , much as we’ve seen with every male cultural film icon .
Last Jedi killed a life long love of Star Wars for me
And no surprise that she's involved with the WEF... Says all we need to know.
She should cast Rachel Zegler, Amber Heard and Halle Bailey. That would be awesome.
Shhhhhhhhh!!
I'd love to see it burn.
You left out Jada.
Jada could be the empress of dark side, and Zegler as her disciple! 😂
I would certainly be in awe.
As a lifelong Star Wars fan, I think the best path forward is to let KK make EXACTLY the kind of movie she wants with this one. Pour it all in: gender ideology, polarizing politics, OP female characters. Then step back and let the box office decide. I have a feeling we all know how that will go.
yeah.... droves of Star Wars fans still show up, then complain online for months later, until Disney does the next one...
Its not like Disney gonna try to change anything.
@@coachleif
Which is why you don't respect Disney Star Wars fans.

@Keverember, I agree with you 100%, but to quote a line from a famous franchise, "i have a really bad feeling about this."
Props to you for clarifying her previous comments and being reasonable
Disney never fails to disappoint! This movie is a guaranteed flop before they even start shooting… That might be a record
She's born rich, WEF engaged, doesn't care like Disney, has 2 WOKE Oscars etc. Every box ticked.
I'm sure she has good intentions with her documentaries but the fact that that somehow qualifies her to direct a blockbuster is beyond my understanding.
@@anonisnoone6125 Literally every work she has had ANYTHING to do with has been a documentary or short film about life in Pakistan.
What experience AT ALL does she have directing a big budget sci-fi space movie? 😂
I’d be upset if I hadn’t given up on Star Wars a few years ago. Now it’s just another day that ends in Y.
I absolutely adore how Disney doesn’t listen to their audience ever, at all, never ever ever. Thanks Kath.
The solution is simple. Don't watch it. Unsub from hulu and disney+. Forget it exists and move on.
All their audience does is bitch so why would they listen to that?
Treasure troves of lore from Legends Old Republic era and the Old Republic MMORPG that would satisfy the old heads as well as tell a unique and new story about a different era of the Star Wars universe that would be interesting to a new audience. But nope thank god we get a boring character in Rey Skywalker!
Same exact reason House of the dragon is doing so well and an Age of Heros GOT show about the rise of the early Starks, Lannisters would do even better.
People want unique stories that give context to the main characters of the main trilogy.
What audience. They are doing their best to scare everyone away.
@@paarker Agreed. Apparently the goal at Disney is to longer make money? 🤷🏻♂️
I'm Scottish and a Scottish person has never directed a Star Wars Movie. Its 2024 and i think its about time.
i’m of the firm belief everyone should be respected and treated as human but they should also be employed in their merits, no one (normal) has any issue with a woman directing star wars, it’s because she was out there BECAUSE she’s a woman not that she’s an amazing director i couldn’t care less who directs it if they’re a great director
What did we all do as Star Wars fans to deserve this!?!
Absolutely nothing. We waited for more Star Wars after the prequels and then we were excited once the Disney hype started and everything wasn't super woke. And well... It all fell apart once The Last Jedi came out. They blew a franchise and it's insane that happened.
Because you didnt like the Prequel Trilogy, so much that Lucas sold the franchise off to Disney.
Read their books, buy their merch. Show Disney that it is a lucrative franchise. Even when it wasn't we had brand loyalty. Now there's no brand to be loyal to
creekandseminole Disney star wars sucked, except for Rogue One, of which was already half done when Disney bought the franchise.
Exist.
Just when Disney starts talking about getting out of the culture war, we find out that actions speak louder than words.
In fairness they only promised to be more silent about it. I guess this is their version of silence.

Props to you Drinker, for clarifying her quote. We need truth.
As far as the "outrage" goes, it's really more apathy. The life long fans aren't frothing at the mouth with rage. They're shrugging their shoulders in indifference.
.... and keeping their dollars in their wallets
Nailed it
This is the truth. Your average guy isn't a rabid angry fanboy, just someone who's disappointed and hoping for better.
This is the type of perspective and objectiveness that separates drinker from anti-woke rabble rousers.
I feel about Star Wars the way I feel about a second season of Rings Of Power. It’s not even enough to bitch about them anymore. I just don’t care and have zero desire to see them. The notorious “high speed” chase scene in BOBF broke me, and I don’t think it will ever be repaired.
I've ever only watched the first 3 ... oh wait. My sister cragged me with her kids to watch the one about finding Annekin as a kid. Anyhow I was happy with the first 3, didn't believe anything in the Annekin one, and came out enraged about the acceptance of slavery.

Discrimination in the workplace happens because recruiters want certain types of people in the workplace while denying others, regardless of their actual skills.
And now Disney only wants to hire a certain type of person, denying others regardless of their actual skills.
This is why we follow you…truth is truth
It is not about gender but about destroying a fairytale.
I love how Disney had near-infinite options for the direction of the next Star Wars movie, and they chose to bring back the most divisive character in the history of the franchise. At this point I'm convinced that they just love the smell of burning money.
No that infinite amount of direction wouldn't feed the main criteria of thr woke propaganda. The only reason she piqued Disney's interest was to make Rey more compelling by projecting her own domineering egotistical persona towards men
The burning disposable paper-notes are just a spec of the fraction when the propaganda is being fed by the gold owning Rothschild elites
Hasnt every star wars movie been very profitable regardless?
@@MattA-fi5qeDiminishing Returns
@@MattA-fi5qe One word: Solo. Not *every* movie. "It became the first Star Wars film to be a box office bomb, only grossing $393.2 million worldwide." On a budget somewhere around $275-330 Million (which excludes marketing). And as for the other movies, like Rise of Skywalker, making money, Disney's faith following Solo was rattled so effectively they retreated to Disney+ only shows despite plans and promises about trilogies and directors... they had this whole line-up and they threw it all in the trash.
@@MattA-fi5qe No, Solo was the first Star Wars movie to ever bomb.
As a black man, all Disney will allow me to say is, “Rey! Rey!!! Reeeeeyyyyy!!!!!”
Poor Finn (& Poe) needs his own movie
But hey man, you got your diversity token, like asians got that useless chinese girl, dont you feel empowered?
Meanwhile that movie about Lando, one of the coolest star wars character, that everyone love and everyone want to see more about got it's production stopped. Probably because it didnt made any racial controversy which they can jerk over
The sneak peak led us to believe Finn would be the protagonist, and he immediately gets sidelined and characterized as a goofball with puppy love.
@@uphilliceskater Who then doesn't even get the girl as she prefers a murderer which leads to the creepiest kiss in big box office history. Jesus. Disney should actually plan their stories in advance. It's not like they don't know they'll be making sequels.
Bingo! Cinematic buck breaking in full effect.
I’m a single parent and it’s 2024 so about time they had a single mother as a director. I’m also only 5ft tall so isn’t it about time we had a short person direct a star wars? Why do the owners of star wars hate 5ft single mothers so much? Where is our directorial representation?
4:52 I’m happy drinker is actually giving more context to this clip
It goes to show that he actually does research on subjects he wants to talk about
I would argue, against that defence of her, that the sentence “I enjoy making men uncomfortable” is even more insulting to the massive percentage of men who DON’T believe in the practice of honour killings.
I, for one, don’t believe in honour killings, and using the term “men” as a pejorative when referencing “men who advocate honour killings” is extremely insulting.
If she meant “men who advocate honour killings”, she shouldn’t have used “men” as if we all believe the same things.
Where have you been the last few years?
These aren't just mindless rants and never have been.
Did it change anything though? Obaid-Chinoy still is insufferable man-hating activist anyway
What do Jeffrey Epstein and Christmas decorations have in common?
They both don’t hang themselves!
The context definitely helps. Makes her seem less like a twat. Thanks for clearing that up.
Still will never spend money to watch any Disney Star Wars film.
I distinctly remember when Aliens was released and how much I admired Sigourney Weaver's role as Ellen Ripley.
It had ZERO do to with gender agenda, politics or propaganda.
Story and performance are absolutely everything.
Ah, the era when Women in movies actually meant something.
It's literally just become "we want women in movies because we hate men - even at the expense of the story!"
I think it had to do, given it was ridley scott, but that it wasnt a society focus at the time so it didnt feel forced
Totally, it's amazing to think that we had such movies and no propaganda along them... But back then these heroes were flawed, they made mistakes, they were written. I'm very curious to know if any of these modern day writers and producers were questioned about these older movies with lead women...
Nope, as long as disney can, they will always blame bad reviews on sexism. “Oh you didn’t like this character because she has a shitty personality, virtually no background information, and no character development? Must be because she’s a girl”
Exactly this! It's flat out disrespectful to women who have worked their tales off in Hollywood for (checks notes) since Hollywood's beginning.
They try to pretend that women have never done anything in Hollywood before to push their narrative.
"I am an accidental film director, i have never been to film school"
Couple points:
1. I appreciate the good faith in putting the director’s old comments in the proper context. There’s already a lot wrong with this choice of director, to say nothing of this movie in general, without making shit up.
2. Is Patty Jenkins just a joke to them???
Her being in front of a WEF logo is just the cherry on top
Yea as soon as I saw that I knew she was shit.
Yeah I notice that as well. Surprise.
That makes me uncomfortable
All part of the plan to destroy the Western Tradition.

Excellent video analysis

@@ragemage3049 When Disney Star Wars is on its 20th film and still not broke, are you still going to maintain this cope?
That quote was greatly taking out of context, she was talking about not just Pakistani men, but sexist Pakistani men. She isn't fit to direct Star Wars, I completely agree.
I can't roll my eyes hard enough.
I pirated the last 3 movies (I'd be pissed if I bought tickets) and I am 1000% done with any future Star Wars projects under the "woke" umbrella.
Like I said before.. there were thousands of hours of literature, graphic novels and video games that had built the lore of Star Wars before Disney took over and Disney didn’t just cast it into a ditch, they’ve tried to pave right over it and make everything we loved disappear. They don’t have any passion for it, only dollar signs in their eyes. Jon Favreau had passion with The Mandalorian at least, but Disney as a corporation is just in it for the money, and has sucked the life out of the franchise. It’s disgusting.
Not to mention that George Lucas actually had some ideas for the sequel, one of which involved Maul and Talon being the villains, and Disney completely scrapped them to make their own dumb trilogy.
wise words from the man himself - Bob Ross!
I get the sentiment but I believe the reality is a bit more complex than saying "Disney as a corporation is evil and greedy" I mean a corporation can't be greedy because a corporation isn't a conscious entity. But of course it consists of many people who are conscious. And sure there might be greedy people among them. But I'm also sure even those people are aware that the best way to make more money is to deliver a product their costumers will enjoy. And they probably each have their own ideas about what that would entail. But of course nobody knows upfront what will or won't be successful.
Each person is a cog in the machine and they all need to need to make sure the machine keeps running. So of course they need to make a lot of money. You don't want to be the one responsible for the decline of a multi billion dollar company with over 200.000 employees.
The problem is the same as always. Disney is run by humans. And humans are fallible and have (in a general sense) no idea what they are doing most of the time. But that is a problem we have in all layers of society, not just Hollywood.
So Disney = evil? Idk, I get the feeling they are just trying to survive, just like most of us.
@@Djoarhet001 So why do they keep making the same mistakes over and over. Being Human means learning from mistakes, not doing the same thing over and expecting a different outcome.
NO..there is more at play here, this is gender politics pure an simple..it isnt the first time it has happened in big business...Women tried this same thing in Video Games in the 90's and ALL their companies failed miserably(they have their strengths, so do we..only by working together are the companies strong)...all women only teams are cesspools of backfighting and worse, they are where ideas come to stagnate and die..they will HYPER focus on the wrong details (in the 90's it was keeping the product relevant..they FORGOT that tech progressed and made games that were DECADES OLD in tech by the time they published...always some SMALL detail got away from them (I am being sarcastic) (if you are a woman, sorry, but this is HISTORY, not conjecture, and it IS happening again)
I love how despite seeing the negative response to the sequel trilogy by fans, Disney still said, “I know what fans want! They want another Rey movie!”
I don't think they look beyond the Box office collection data.

I saw an old vid of mark Hamill and that jerk who directed _The Last Jedi_ the other day, and Hamill (probably in defiance of his orders) was kindly giving fans the heads-up. "So I said to Ryan, we should give fans what they want," Hamill said. "And he said to me, 'No. We give them what WE want, and they'll learn to accept it.'"
And THAT should tell you the story here, the entire meaning of Disney SW.
I'm a person who identifies as a Mi24-D Gunship and Gunships never directed a Star Wars movie. It's 2024, we can do better, the time is now.

The fact that she's standing in front of a wall that has the WEF on it says everything you need to know about her.

Very true
LMAO I thought I was the only one who noticed that. That basically tells us all we need to know; IE she is actually a true believer in the WEF in which case her supposed care for 'women and minorities and diversity' is a sham used to help spread the WEF's power and influence, OR... she is a useful idiot for them because she truly believes she has to spread feminist nonsense and the WEF can use her to exert more control over Hollywood and Disney.
I'm not sure which is worse.
I'm becoming convinced that they simply want to destroy the things we love. It's like watching a toddler build a block tower only for his jealous little sister coming along and knocking it over for no reason.
I mean it's true. And the reason you mentioned also might be very true. Those weirdos gained some power in life and they do enjoy to "payback" to the whole world, because they are miserable. And they went and ruined literally anything from MTG, D&D to video games, comic books and now movies, by bringing their trash language that makes no sense, ideas that have no place and sick minds that should be locked in the box and not shown to the outer world.
Yep, it's just pure spite.

And it is really strange how Drinker is completely disregarding that. Picking only on the film industry without picking on the entire picture is shallow and I may add, greatly missguided.
Star Wars is dead. The MCU is dead. Lord of The Rings is dead. Indiana Jones is dead. Star Trek is dead.
This can't be accidental. Nobody on this planet is this incompetent.
You're starting to ask the right questions...
warhammer is going to have so many refugees from these franchises lol
I wouldn't call Lord Of The Rings dead, 'Rings of Power' isn't considered canon by either the Tolkien literary, (it's a rip-off/fanfiction of 'The Silmarillion' because they could get the rights, and also takes from 'Unfinished Tales' and other Tolkien apocrypha.) or WB/MGM/Peter Jackson movies. We've got 'The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim' coming out in December to add to the movie canon, and hopefully we'll get more movies if it's good.
You can't kill the Tolkien books, they'll live on.
The studio executives that make these decisions want to use their power and influence in the entertainment world to produce political and social propaganda, under the guise of entertainment. Unfortunately for them, propaganda is really hard to make entertaining, so it's less them being incompetent and more them trying to do something very difficult.
Black Rock and ESG. That's the reason.
Bro bro bro.... i love your videos, please dont ever change
I didnt realize women made/planned the whole thing.. Good for them other then the new shit sucks.
Thanks Disney, for killing the chosen bloodline to replacing it with a Palpatine who thinks she's a Skywalker, along with killing any other character we love. So glad you took over the franchise. 👍🏼

I'm glad you mentioned what a slap in the face a diversity hire can be to the the people who have spent their careers trying to claw their way to the top the hard way
IMO it is root cause of so manty the problems we have today. I am fine with diversity and inclusivity but when meritocracy takes a back seat, nothing good will come from it.
Yes and to change an established characters race is also crap. Why not create an awesome original new character that is say other than white. Right?
We've never had an AI-written Star Wars movie.
It's 2024. It's time we had an AI-written Star Wars movie.
its been so easy for me to just ignore hollywood
True old school fan's of Lucas' Star Wars don't even recognize Disney's Star Wars as being canon.
Some of us do recognize it as canon because, legally and factually, it is.
yeah but law and fact dont mean shit when you literally dont remember or want to remember the content being spoken about. Like I grew up watching Disneys Star Wars in theatres just like my parents saw the og in theaters. My parents remembered those films for the rest of their lives i forgot about Disneys films the day after Rise of Skywalker came out.
How come I can remember Anakin's cringe acting more than I can remember any one scene from all three disney films? Georges worst work is better than Disney's best @@muzzymikeonthemic9359
It’s not canon it contradicts the original trilogy and the story coherent, on paper you can argue it’s canon but in reality it’s not.

Good work drinker! I think the reason why for a female director is that Disney is trying squeeze out a few more dollars and a female director gives them some free publicity, for example this video right here.
I don't always agree with you, but when your on...your on. And in this video? You were RIGHT ON!
The problem is, nobody involved in Star Wars doesn't really understand what Star Wars is really about.
They need to bring in people who can understand the point of the story and the characters, and let the evolution of world/plot/character building flush out naturally. In order to do this, you have to get people who can put aside their ego...which yes, it's rare to find these people, but necessary in this regard.
Instead, it's people who want to insert their self and their own feelings/objectives into the story, making it slide further and further into an abyss that some consider to be...unnatural. (See what I did there? LOL)
I recently re-watched Ready Player One, and the similarities between the antagonist and Kathleen Kennedy hit home. They're both known as power hungry underlings who were originally hired to make coffee.
