That\u2019s \u2062good stuff. Star\u2064 Wars: Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels is stuff my kids typically like.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cBut Kathleen Kennedy has just destroyed \u2063the series,\u201d he charged. \u00a0\u201cStar Wars is one of the\u200b great\u2063 IPRs in all of human history, tens of billions of\u2063 dollars worth of IP. And they\u2019ve \u2063now decided to turn over \u2063the universe to a \u200dperson named Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. So who exactly is this person?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cShe\u2019s mostly\u2062 famous for having made a \u200bcouple of nonfiction documentaries that won Oscars about feminism and anti-feminism in Pakistan,\u2064 which is fine, but what does that \u2062have to do with Star Wars?\u201d he asked. \u200dNoting that Obaid-Chinoy was one of the\u2062 directors of Miss\u200d Marvel, \u200cthe\u200c 2022 series from Disney, he pointed\u200b out, \u201cNo one \u200bwatched \u2026 no one \u200bwanted to\u2063 watch and no one cared.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThey\u2019ve decided\u200d to put her in\u200c charge of the next\u200b Star\u2063 Wars movie, \u200dwhich will focus in on Rey,\u201d \u200che noted.\u200b \u201cYou remember Rey? Or maybe \u2064you don\u2019t. She is the star of the last Star Wars trilogy in which they\u200d killed off all the characters you love in favor \u200cof characters that no one gave any hoots\u2062 about whatsoever. No \u200done has \u2064said the \u200bname\u2062 Poe \u2064Dameron in \u2064years because no one cares. \u2064No one cares about Finn, and barely anyone cares about Rey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cSo \u2062they\u2063 got rid of all your old favorites \u200cor they killed off \u2062on uselessly and stupidly. And then they killed off Luke uselessly and stupidly,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd then they killed off Leia uselessly and stupidly. And then they added \u2026 characters like Rose, an awful character who annoyed everyone so much that they literally wrote her out of the third\u2064 movie, \u2018The \u2064Rise of\u2064 Skywalker.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">He suggested handing the movie series \u2063to\u2063 Filoni, saying, \u201cDave Filoni actually likes the series.\u200b Dave \u2064Filoni actually likes the characters. \u2064Dave Filoni actually understands \u200dwhat he\u2019s \u2063doing\u200b in the Star Wars universe and what the universe is all about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cInstead, Kathleen Kennedy has hired this documentary\u2064 filmmaker about the women in Pakistan. Also, she\u200d was the first artist to co-chair the\u200b World Economic Forum in 2017,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Obaid-Chinoy \u2063had stated, \u201cYou know, I\u2019m very thrilled about\u2063 the project because\u200c I think what we are about to create is something\u200b very \u200bspecial. And we are in 2024 now, and I think it\u2019s about time that we had a \u2063woman \u200ccome \u200dforward \u2063to shape the story in a galaxy far, \u2063far away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cYou had a woman who shaped all the stories in \u200dthe galaxy far, \u2062far away. Her name is Kathleen Kennedy, and she\u200c sucks. She\u2019s awful,\u201d Shapiro declared. \u201cIn any\u200d fair universe, \u2064she\u200c would have been fired.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe don\u2019t need a woman waiting to be saved by\u200b a man,\u201d Shapiro said, saying that for the Disney execs, \u201cEquity is \u200bthe only thing that matters. Equity, equity, equity. We need a woman directing. How about you just \u2063make a good Star Wars \u200dfilm? What do you guys \u200cdo for a living?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe answer is\u200c they please \u2063themselves,\u201d Shapiro stated. \u201cThey please themselves on the stakeholder dime. That\u2019s\u2062 what they do because they\u2062 like\u2063 stakeholder capitalism. The World Economic Forum\u200c preaches it, after all \u2026 everyone in \u200dthe world can be changed by entertainment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThat\u2019s why you hire directors who have no history of directing anything good \u200bin this sphere and \u200bthen decide that the way that you\u2019re going to do this is by putting them\u2062 in charge of the single most lucrative IP in probably \u2064all of human history,\u201d \u200dhe said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cSo slow\u200c clap for\u200c Kathleen Kennedy. She\u2019s done it once again,\u201d he \u2064concluded.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How has Dave Filoni proven his ability to expand the Star Wars universe through successful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/prince-harry-meghan-markle-announce-first-netflix-series\/\" title=\"Prince Harry, Meghan Markle Announce First Netflix Series\">animated series<\/a>?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Has proven that he knows what he&#8217;s doing when it comes to expanding the Star Wars universe. He has created successful animated series that have garnered a \u200bloyal following, and his storytelling abilities \u200chave been \u2062praised by fans and critics alike. It only makes \u2064sense\u200d to give someone like Filoni the opportunity to helm \u200ba Star Wars movie and steer it back in the right\u200c direction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shapiro also criticized the direction in which Disney has taken\u2063 the Star \u2064Wars franchise under the leadership of Kathleen Kennedy. He believes that\u200b Kennedy&#8217;s decisions have negatively impacted the series and have ultimately \u200cled to its decline in quality.\u2063 He argues that Star Wars is a \u200c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/blowback-erupts-as-chinese-spokesperson-claims-u-s-flouts-international-rules\/\" title=\"Blowback Erupts As Chinese Spokesperson Claims U.S. Flouts \u2018International Rules\u2019\">valuable intellectual property<\/a> that has generated billions of dollars and\u2062 has a\u200b massive fan\u2064 base. Therefore, it is crucial to entrust its future to someone who understands and respects its legacy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The appointment of \u2063Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy as the director \u2064of the upcoming Star\u200d Wars movie was a source\u2062 of concern\u2064 for Shapiro. He questions her qualifications and relevance to the Star Wars universe, pointing out that her previous \u2062work primarily focuses on nonfiction documentaries about feminism and anti-feminism in Pakistan. While Shapiro acknowledges her talent and success in that particular field, he fails to see the connection \u2062between\u2062 her work and the Star Wars franchise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Furthermore, Shapiro criticizes the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/31-woke-cinematic-moments-that-nearly-ruined-their-movies\/\" title=\"31 Woke Cinematic Moments That Nearly Ruined Their Movies\">recent trilogy<\/a>, highlighting the lack\u2062 of \u2062interest and investment in the new characters, especially\u2064 Rey. He argues that Disney eliminated beloved characters from the original series and\u2064 replaced them with characters that failed to resonate with the audience. Additionally, \u200dhe mentions the introduction of characters like Rose, who were poorly received and quickly written out of the storyline\u2062 due to\u2063 fans&#8217; dislike.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">To\u2064 rectify the situation, Shapiro believes \u2062that \u200cDave Filoni should be \u200centrusted with the future of the Star Wars franchise. He praises Filoni&#8217;s work on animated series such as Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars\u200d Rebels, acknowledging that they are well-received by both children and adults. Shapiro argues that Filoni&#8217;s success and understanding of the Star \u200dWars \u2063universe make him the ideal\u2063 candidate to restore the\u2062 franchise to its former glory.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">In conclusion, Ben Shapiro criticizes Disney&#8217;s approach to the Star Wars\u200d franchise, particularly under the leadership of\u2063 Kathleen Kennedy. He\u200b expresses concern over the decision to appoint \u2062Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy \u200das the director of the next Star Wars \u2064movie, citing her lack of\u2063 connection to the series. Shapiro also highlights the decline in quality and interest \u2062in the recent Star Wars trilogy, advocating for Dave Filoni to \u2063take charge of the franchise and restore\u200b it to its former greatness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro criticized Disney&#8217;s Kathleen Kennedy for the new woman director in the upcoming Star Wars movie.
