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.

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.

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?!

“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?

Every time someone says something like "I don't see myself in X movie"
I just think "So you're not a good person? You aren't selfless, heroic, courageous, determined, empathetic, strong, protective, ect?"

Cause, that's the part you're supposed to be looking for in yourself. Not your fucking skin color. That tells me, your most important characteristic, is vanity.

Normal people: Leia was a strong character, she held together the team.
Dummies: But she was made into an eye candy in Return of the Jedi!
Normal people: Yeah, and then she k*lled her captor, the biggest gangster, who was feared by all. You know, the fat guy, who held captive all the guys?

They try to be so inclusive that they exclude the fans

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

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

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.

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

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?”

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

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

After years of this women in star wars argument i just realized that when i was 8 in 1977 my MOM took me to see star wars and not my dad. She LOVED sci fi of that era.

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

[ElTuco]

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

[drtaverner]

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

[Trilobiteer]

The safety of black nerds? I'm sorry what? Do the names Lando Calrissian, Mace Windu, Benjamin Sisko or Morpheus mean anything to these people? No? How about Finn? Oh wait they deleted his character over three films, my bad.
