The Walt Disney Co. appears to be taking Star Wars in an overtly left-wing direction, with an actress from Disney+’s Andor revealing the upcoming series will portray a “Trumpian” world where “people’s rights are disappearing.”
Acclaimed actress Fiona Shaw explained show creator Tony Gilroy’s approach to the new series in an interview with Empire magazine.
“Tony has written a great, scurrilous [take] on the Trumpian world,” she said. “Our world is exploding in different places right now, people’s rights are disappearing, and Andor reflects that. [In the show] the Empire is taking over, and it feels like the same thing is happening in reality, too.”
She added: “I was impressed by Tony’s social-realist intention. He’s created a whole new morality. It’s very deep and humane – there is grief, mourning, hope, fear. It’s not just primary colors here.”
Andor, which is set to debut September 21 on Disney+, is a series spin-off of the 2016 Star Wars movie Rogue One. The series takes place five years before the Rogue One story, with actor Diego Luna reprising his role as Rebel Alliance spy Cassian Andor.
The series also stars Stellan Skarsgård, Forest Whitaker, and Genevieve O’Reilly.
Under Disney, Star Wars has embraced social justice themes and feminism by introducing “Mary Sue” characters like Rose Tico and putting racial diversity front and center. Meanwhile, Disney minimized black actor John Boyega on its Force Awakens posters in China in order to appeal to local audiences.
Off-screen, Star Wars actors have actively engaged in left-wing politics. Diego Luna spoke out against then-President Donald Trump at the Latino Media Awards in 2018. The Mexican actor blasted Trump’s illegal immigration policies, including separations at the border.

Like the COVID lockdowns?
I’ve had this sort of conversation many times:
Me: “I just want the government to leave me alone and let me live my life.”
Liberal: “Oh, so you’re a control freak, huh? You just want to take away my rights? What are you, a Nazi???”
It doesn’t make any sense.
the Drama Queens are going into full blown mental breakdown over the SC decision to ban abortions- which incidentally happened under biden, not Trump
Remind me again of which side had the mandated vaccines under the threat of losing your job.
“Peoples rights???????” Like shooting someone because your French Fries weren’t hot enough and you think you have the right to do that.....or a pickle wasn’t put on your burger so you jump the counter and punch the server.
What people today are assuming they have a right to is completely insane and destructive to the entire fabric of this country.
Civil behavior has fallen into the gutters!
there’s no reasoning with people that believe a man’s anus can be used as a vagina...
Like everything the left does up is down & day is night.
The world they are portraying is the leftist vision, totalitarianism, the complete loss of individual freedom. They know that world is a horror so they project and say that world is Trumpian, to facilitate their goals.

They believe they have a right to force their will upon others, to take whatever they covet, and to decide who is human, and who is not. Trumpians want to take away those rights.
No doubt. They are defecting. This sort of reality is just what Trump was fighting. This is your future west coast states and upper east coast red state future reality TV.
Rogue One was the only good one made by Disney recently. Solo: A Star Wars Story was not too bad, it was okay. Others were crap. Maybe they should have casted Gal Gadot as Rey. I liked Gadot in Wonder Woman.
It will bomb.
My head hurts.
Actors are cute when they try to sound intellectual. It works better with somebody else writing the lines, though. I'd love this one to try to explain exactly what rights Darth Trump took away but I don't want to see her brain lock up trying to figure it out. Maybe she's protesting the attacks on the Second Amendment? Yeah, that must be it...
“We have to remind ourselves that we are the ones telling our stories, so we have to be telling the stories of the invisible so they can be visible.”Did Kamala write that?
They should also remind themselves that Trump hasn't been the President for going on 2 yrs.
Also, that when he was President he got more (good) accomplished in one term than any other President in their/our lifetime
Yep. Only their bizarro world view makes sense to them.
Wow! This coming from the lefty “You’ll own nothing and be happy or else” crowd
“ which incidentally happened under biden, not Trump”
Thanks only to justices appointed by Trump. Try again.
