Harvard’s Untouchable Woke President Is GONE

Leadership Shifts

The Star Wars franchise is undergoing significant leadership changes, with a new director at the helm. Ben Shapiro criticizes the decision to appoint a director from the Miss Marvel series, which he claims was unpopular and poorly received 1. He argues that the franchise has suffered under Kathleen Kennedy's leadership, with beloved characters being replaced by less engaging ones. Shapiro suggests that Dave Filoni, who has a deep understanding of the Star Wars universe, would be a better choice 1.

The failure of Kathleen Kennedy's trilogy has been so dramatic that there's been, like, a whole new revisionist history setup where Last Jedi is a good movie, when everyone knows that Last Jedi is absolute trash from Rian Johnson.

He emphasizes the need for a director who truly appreciates the essence of Star Wars, rather than focusing on diversity for its own sake 2.

   

Cultural Criticism

Shapiro critiques the cultural direction of the Star Wars narratives, arguing that they have become overly aligned with current social and political ideologies. He points out that the focus on equity and diversity has overshadowed the core storytelling elements that made the franchise successful 3. Shapiro highlights a satirical take from South Park, which mocks Kathleen Kennedy for turning Star Wars into a "woke universe of nonsense" 3.

Star wars again, one of the great ips in all of human history. I mean, it's a tremendous piece of ip. It's like tens of billions of dollars worth of ip. And they've now decided to turn over the universe to a person named Charmin Obade Chinoy.

--- Ben Shapiro

He argues that the emphasis on hiring directors based on identity rather than merit has led to a decline in the quality of the films 2.
