A positive approach to make a film flop is to rent a director who alienates an enormous chunk of the viewers earlier than the movie is even launched.
Will Disney ever be taught? Not till it goes broke, it will appear.
The corporate has employed activist and documentary filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy to direct the subsequent “Star Wars” film, slated to be launched in 2026.
Obaid-Chinoy is on document saying, “We’re in 2024 now, and I feel it’s about time that we had a girl come ahead to form the story in a galaxy far, distant.”
In case Obaid-Chinoy isn’t conscious, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy has led the “Star Wars” franchise for a decade. A lot for breaking the glass ceiling. Kennedy’s been there, achieved that.

In a 2015 interview with Obaid-Chinoy, Jon Stewart noticed that there appears to be a thread working via Obaid-Chinoy’s work — the concept that “males are a**holes.”
Stewart’s remark precipitated Obaid-Chinoy to giggle like a schoolgirl, exposing her hatred for roughly half the human inhabitants. I ponder if she holds male canine or cats in equal disdain.
“I wish to make males uncomfortable,” Obaid-Chinoy stated within the interview. “I take pleasure in making males uncomfortable.”
WARNING: The next video incorporates language that some viewers will discover offensive.
What manufacturing firm in its proper thoughts would rent somebody who clearly despises males to direct a movie for a franchise price billions of {dollars}? Disney would.
Individuals — males, ladies, youngsters — don’t go to “Star Wars” motion pictures to really feel uncomfortable about themselves. It doesn’t take a market analysis agency to determine that out.
Obaid-Chinoy went on, “It is very important be capable of look into the eyes of a person and say, ‘I’m right here and acknowledge that. And acknowledge that I’m working to deliver one thing that makes you uncomfortable, and it ought to make you uncomfortable as a result of you want to change your perspective.’”
I don’t assume she wants to fret. If Obaid-Chinoy brings that message to “Star Wars,” will probably be acknowledged. However it’s unlikely to vary anybody’s perspective. Regular individuals aren’t going to pay the value of admission to be hammered by one more member of the woke elite.
Disney is on a roll of constructing unhealthy choices — and shedding cash within the course of.
In 2023, for the primary time in years, it misplaced the general box office crown. Selecting Obaid-Chinoy to direct a Star Wars movie will in all probability be the most recent in an extended string of missteps for the Mouse Home.
Conservative commentator Matt Walsh agrees. In a Wednesday X publish, he said, “This film is destined to be Disney’s greatest flop but.”

If Disney permits man-hating Obaid-Chinoy to “form the story in a galaxy far, distant,” it higher discover ways to market the movie to that faraway galaxy as a substitute of this one.
When will Disney determine it’s imagined to be within the enterprise of constructing entertaining movies, not social engineering?
On the price it’s going, not very quickly.
