The Revolution Will Not Be Finalized
American Thinker ^ | June 10, 2018 | Christopher Knight

Posted on 06/10/2018 1:34:55 PM PDT by lowbridge

Disney analysts are tabulating all angles on why Solo failed to hit light speed at the box office.  Was it because of "franchise fatigue" less than six months after the previous Star Warsfilm?  The movie's troubled production?  Did Alden Ehrenreich lack convincing resemblance to a young Harrison Ford?

The answer the suits in the Mouse House may refuse to acknowledge was provided by a store associate as I looked for a dog toy: "I didn't know what an ess-jay-dubya was until I heard about Lando being pansexual.  I don't want ess-jay-dubyas messing up Star Wars."

Neither did other longtime fans.  "Pansexual," stated by one of Solo's writers a week before the film's release, is not a term associated with two hours of escapism to that galaxy far, far away.  Or any sexual term, for that matter.  Little doubt that because of it, many faithful fans veered away from Solo.

Will acknowledging that mistake alter trajectory?  Probably not.  Kathleen Kennedy and others at Disney seem even more determined to turn Star Wars into something it has never been before: an ideological platform – beginning with injecting LGBT activism into the series.

Pansexual? Goats, camels, and corvette tailpipes?

Put people in charge who know more about beer than they do wine coolers, steak than Soy products, and sci if than they do about 3rd wave feminism.

Corvettes are still too manly, and besides the tail pipes from a Prius are both more environmentally sensitive and, bring small, possibly a better fit for the Soy boys.

The author feels that the movie “Solo” may “turn Star Wars into something it has never been before: an ideological platform”? Interesting confession of the author’s expertise on Star Wars.

Scripts are being driven by SJWs with agenda.

'Art' by committee.

“Disney seem even more determined to turn Star Wars into something it has never been before: an ideological platform...”

They caught grief when the first Star Wars had no blacks in it. They caught grief because the clones in “The Clone Wars” looked like wetback Mexicans. (Dunno...didn’t see it) So it really is nothing new that someone gets their panties in a wad over Star Wars. Disney will just make the next one even more gay.

The whole point of Lucas selling rights to Disney:

1) Lucas is through with it artistically, so he cashes out and moves on.
2) Disney milks it to death.
The only question is how long does it take to milk it to death.

There are many in our era who speak unceasingly of bringing about "social justice." They never describe what a "socially justified culture" will look like. Why should they want to? Because for big-P Progressivism to be consistent, it must be progressing toward something. To state conditions for victory? That would be aborting Progressivism. That is not part of the plan.

Radical Progressivism has spawned a social revolution whose adherents cannot provide a decisive objective. It is not possible. The inevitable mission of Progressivism is not to win a battle within society, but to wage continuous war upon it. All that comes to matter is upheaval never-ending. To find justification for the cause. If none exists, one is created.

So it is that there must always be "enemies of the people" to correct or crush or crucify. The words betray a dark intent: "obey us, or we will destroy you."

Nailed it.

The SJWs will never end their war. They don't know how and they wouldn't if they could.

“The SJWs will never end their war.”

If whoever leads them from behind the scenes wins their objective, the SJWs will be eliminated.

People like SJWs may be useful if you are trying to take over a society/government/country, but once you’ve taken it over they are a danger.

Maybe we could call them “PC” Penny. Nothing like ruining a good thing. Last Jedi was watchable, but a little disappointing.

Lucas killed it when he had Bush derangement and called the Dark Side people who support Bush. He sold it to Disney suckers.

Disney needs to be deep-sixed. The entire organization is crawling with sexual deviants and predators. Disney has a history of covering up not only serious accidents at its theme parks - including fatalities - but also hiding the truth of employees who have molested children. Yet parents continue to expose their children to these damned reprobates.

Everything “New” Disney touches, it turns to sh*t.

They wrecked Star Wars.
They wrecked Star Trek.
They have wrecked every classic Disney film.

And, in each case, the “reinvented” main characters, making sexual deviants of them, and thus destroying the original casting so to advance the progressive’s twisted agenda.
Disney Studios deserves to burn to the ground.

Poor Walt must be turning in his cryogenic tube.

“The SJWs will never end their war.”

Which is exactly why we MUST “end” them - one way or another.
