The series has introduced significant changes to the &#8220;Star Wars&#8221; \u2064lore, such as suggesting that a lesbian witch, rather than Darth Plagueis, could manipulate the Force to create\u2063 life, which\u200c contradicts established narratives from \u2062both the\u2064 films and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/former-lucasfilm-director-of-publishing-lucy-autrey-wilson-reveals-george-lucas-informed-her-the-emperor-would-never-have-been-cloned\/\" title=\"Former Lucasfilm Director of Publishing Lucy Autrey Wilson Reveals George Lucas Informed Her \u201cThe Emperor Would Never Have Been Cloned\u201d\">expanded universe<\/a> novels.<\/p>\n<p>Fans\u2019 \u200creactions to \u2064the series are largely negative,\u2063 with \u2062some accusing it of being more\u200c about political messaging than storytelling.

decades of terrible decisions regarding the \u201cStar Wars\u201d franchise, from Jar-Jar Binks and midichlorians to Palpatine somehow returning, the dying franchise has, for many fans, finally jumped the shark.<\/p>\n<p>Their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-reportedly-approves-additional-troop-deployment-to-eastern-europe\/\" title=\"Biden reportedly approves additional troop deployment to Eastern Europe\">newest show<\/a>, \u201cThe Acolyte,\u201d created by lesbian Leslye Headland, already shot itself in the foot by proclaiming the show would be the \u201cgayest\u201d version of \u201cStar Wars\u201d yet, alienating fans who are thoroughly fed up with the franchise\u2019s devotion to leftist activism.<\/p>\n<p>The first two episodes were bad enough for fans, with the strong female protagonist played by \u201cnon-binary\u201d actress Amandla Stenberg, and with the emphasis on \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/new-star-wars-no-good-bad-sets-jedi-order-oppressors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">power<\/a>\u201d rather than good and evil.<\/p>\n<p>Yet with the release of the third episode, the series has not only massively retconned an integral piece of \u201cStar Wars\u201d lore, but has completely devolved into the most absurd display of woke pandering this side of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/anheuser-busch-us-marketing-chief-resigns-following-disastrous-dylan-mulvaney-bud-light-campaign\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dylan

target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bounding Into Comics<\/a> offered readers an essential summary of the episode\u2019s greatest sin: namely, declaring that the protagonists, twins Mae and Osha, were created by a Force-sensitive witch manipulating the \u201cuniversal life energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Really.<\/p>\n<p>The 2005 film \u201cRevenge of the Sith,\u201d the last in the much-maligned <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/new-sjw-star-wars-pulled-theaters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">prequel trilogy<\/a>, established that only one person had ever succeeded in this endeavor.<\/p>\n<p>And that was not the lesbian witch Mother Aniseya, but the legendary Sith Lord Darth Plagueis the Wise.<\/p>\n<p>As Chancellor Palpatine told Anakin Skywalker, Plagueis was \u201cso powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\">\n<p>Did Disney ruin Star Wars?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Though implied in the film, the Expanded Universe novels later confirmed that Plagueis was most likely responsible for Anakin\u2019s conception.<\/p>\n<p>While the \u201c<a

Disney has previously declared the Expanded Universe no longer canon, one would think they would at least respect lore previously established in the films, if not the books.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, though, the championing of woke intersectional causes trumped any kind of internal creative consistency.<\/p>\n<p>And fans, as with most iterations of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/disney-inserts-lgbt-jedi-childrens-star-wars-show\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">modern<\/a> \u201cStar Wars,\u201d were not thrilled, but given the
