Direct quote on CNN interview about Star Wars and her being the first woman and person of color to direct it.

Thanks. First movie, I guess, so it gets flashy headlines. Deborah Chow directed all episodes of Kenobi in addition to the Mando episodes.

BDH has directed some of my favorite Mando episodes. 

It really is just tiring at this point. I’ll watch the movie because I love Star Wars, but Iiking it is a different story.

There’s a lot of cool directions they could take reestablishing the Jedi Order and the role of the Jedi and their relationship with the Force, and I hope Filoni has a hand in guiding that. I think Luke stuck too closely to the ideology of the Clone Wars era Jedi, who some could argue failed the Order, and is why he ultimately failed.

The bitter, angry, paradoxically misandrist AND misogynistic, 3rd-wave feminists (or is it 4th wave now?) are already setting up to blame the audience for not liking the piles of dung that are flung at them from the screen at the hands of these narcissistic fools.

I'll skip this one.

Likewise.  I'm already bored and completely disinterested, so a threat of discomfort's already irrelevant to the situation, speaking as the owner of a Y chromosome as well.

In fairness, she said the "make men uncomfortable" statement 8 years ago and it wasn't about Star Wars. That said, the statement "We're in 2024. It's about time we have a woman shape a story in a galaxy far, far away"  that is recent and specifically about Star Wars and yeah I will skip it.

Radical idea!!  It is OK to have movies and IPs that are made for a specific groups or demographics.  Star Wars and the MCU were primarily  targeted at men and men loved them.  Some women loved them as a plus. Barbie was made for women, and they loved it, even some men liked it.  See how that works?  Make a good movie and it makes money.  Even those typically outside the target group, may still like it.

 

Stop trying to twist and change existing IP's from who they were developed to appeal too. It does not work in most cases.

And what do we tell all the women who have already helped to shape Star Wars?

Exactly. 

Imagine some doofus getting handed the reins of the original Sigourney Weaver Alien franchise, and coming out saying his goal is to "make women uncomfortable". 

Where the hell do these people even come from???

Rey movie looks like it is being pushed back, and may have lost its expected release date in December 2025. A John Favreau directed and produced Mandolorian and Grogu movies has just been announced and pushed to the forefront, as the next Star Wars movie. 

 

Reaction to the bad press last week?

Again, at this point if Disney wants to succeed they need to do a full media blackout on new films and only release teasers and trailers.

It looks like the next Star Wars movies are going to be Favreau's Mando movie and Filoni's movie. Both of them tend to stick to the script, especially Favreau.

Dear Djarling Band-aid Chonky:

Girls don't like Star Wars no matter how much you think they do, and they still won't like it if you "gal" it up with a bunch of dialogue about "feelings" and "patriarchal post-adolescent traumatic stress disorder". Girls don't like comics. Or comic art. Or D&D. Or the MCU. They like hairdryers, nail polish and watching reality shows like Selling Sunset. Please stay away from my hobbies and interests and put a guy with a mustache in charge of the next movie.

Nor do girls want you to destroy the MCU in their name because that's a major male-sex-organ move.
