George Lucas Backs Disney Board and CEO Bob Iger Amid Proxy Fight: ‘Creating Magic Is Not for Amateurs’
Variety ^ | March 19, 2024 | Todd Spangler

Posted on 03/19/2024 5:24:13 PM PDT by Ciaphas Cain

Star Wars mastermind George Lucas — Disney’s largest individual shareholder — has come out with a statement supporting Disney’s board and CEO Bob Iger, urging Mouse House investors to reject bids by two activist investor groups to take seats on the media company’s board.

“Creating magic is not for amateurs,” Lucas said in a statement released Tuesday. “When I sold Lucasfilm just over a decade ago, I was delighted to become a Disney shareholder because of my longtime admiration for its iconic brand and Bob Iger’s leadership.”

Lucas continued, “When Bob recently returned to the company during a difficult time, I was relieved. No one knows Disney better. I remain a significant shareholder because I have full faith and confidence in the power of Disney and Bob’s track record of driving long-term value. I have voted all of my shares for Disney’s 12 directors and urge other shareholders to do the same.”

Star Wars ended for me with The Last Jedi although The Force Awakens gave me a bad feeling about it. Disney in a way died for me much earlier.

More than likely. Lucas doesn’t want to lose his shirt.

Lucas modeled the rebels in Star Wars based on the Viet Cong.

Jabba the Lucas turned the Jedi from warriors for the good into Mamelukes who kidnapped small children, brainwashed them and deliberately fostered attachment disorder.

At that point he killed the magic.

Disney Executives Admit: Of Course We’re Grooming Your Children: Multiple Disney employees admitted their own personal missions to deluge 5- to 9-year-olds with as much of their own sexual ideology as possible.

Disney isn’t just grooming children with radical sexual propaganda — now they’re bragging about it.

On the heels of Florida’s new Parental Rights in Education law, which bars educators from instructing kindergarten through third-grade students about sexual ideology, multiple executives and employees from the Walt Disney Company admitted their own personal missions to deluge 5- to 9-year-olds with as much of their own sexual ideology as possible.

One Disney executive boasted about her “not-at-all-secret gay agenda” and efforts at “adding queerness to” children’s programming, in leaked audio published by investigative journalist Chris Rufo on Tuesday.

“Our leadership over there has been so welcoming to my, like, not-at-all-secret gay agenda,” said Latoya Raveneau, an executive producer for Disney Television Animation. “I was just, wherever I could, just basically adding queerness … No one would stop me and no one was trying to stop me.”

Globalhomo has nothing to do with the QWERTY people.

It is Global Homogenization.

Ever notice how every big city is being scrubbed of it's individuality and becoming just like every other big city?

How every movie, TV show has a LA mix of ethnicity even when it makes no sense at all?

Notice how they are shoving illegal and legal aliens into small towns and villages changing the culture from a local one to a one where no one is sure what is going on?

This is what Globalhomo is and it is much worse then you think.

Seriously? I think the fact that he even sold off Star Wars to a snake like Bob Iger should have been a big hint that he was undeserving of respect to begin with. I mean, it was public knowledge that Bob Iger twice managed to sabotage Path to 9/11, once by being a key player in the media circus that forced the producers to essentially remove six minutes of footage that was even slightly critical of Bill Clinton regarding his handling of Osama bin Laden, and the other by burying the DVD release to such an extent that he refused to sell it to Lionsgate, ALL so Hillary had a shot at becoming president in 2008 and 2016. That should have been a BIG hint that Iger was willing to backstab anyone, even those on the same political side as him (remember, the Path to 9/11 guy was not conservative, he was liberal, even included a few moments criticizing Bush, and even expected the Bush administration to attack him instead of Clinton.). What’s worse is he did so to get out of the inevitable tax hikes Obama was going to implement at his insistence to “make the rich pay their fair share.”

It’s also because of this bit that I am not even surprised Lucas would do something like this. Heck, he even managed to cheerlead Obama despite his being the same kind of creep that Palpatine was meant to represent (the whole “sabotage democracy from within” thing). And besides, what truly had me lose respect for Lucas was his manipulating us into rooting for the Vietcong over our own country. That was just unforgivable.
