Star Wars director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy has declared 'it's about time' a woman shaped a film for the franchise.

The Pakistani-Canadian filmmaker, 45, is set to become the first woman and the first person of colour to direct a feature film for the franchise.

Sharmeen made her name as an Oscar-winning documentarian before going on to direct two episodes of the Ms Marvel series.

Define woman.

Every franchise needs a woke last stand—on the way to the garbage dump.

Star Wars became stupid when Lucas decided the Force was a bacterial infection.

[Flavious_Maximus]

A female Muslim lecturing about how ‘it’s about time’ a woman shaped a film.

Women in Pakistan cannot even walk outdoors without a male escort. They cannot attend school. They are slaves.

How about you fix the Mooselimb religion first before lecturing the West about what women should be able to do. /spit

[who knows what evil?]

“‘The force is female.’”

For Disney the FAIL is female.

[who knows what evil?]

Sharmeen could stand to lose a few pounds.

[DeplorablePaul]

Canadian shapes a Star War movie? Might as well burn Disney bucks in the street.

It should be interesting to see what she puts together.

Well, I guess that's one word for it.

BTW, I like your Tagline.

Wrong. Get with the program. Gender is not biological, it is a choice.

I saved a bunch of steps: NEVER SAW ANY OF THAT SW CRAP.

Let’s make it a Hallmark franchise.

Captain Perfect Chick meets Rancher, they hate each other, then fall in love, she quits her job, and it’s happily ever after.

Not sure how they’re going to get horses into into a spaceship ... maybe they’ll just use what’s behind the tale.
