what's up everybody today we're going to talk about star wars drama because
it appears that ever since george lucas sold star wars to disney uh we've been
just hearing a lot of drama especially after the sequel trilogy things are just very weird
where the latest one is the hashtag fire dinner gina carano because apparently uh there's some
group of fans or so called fans that have a problem with uh her politics or whatever she does
on her social media and i believe that that is the problem that we face with a lot of big companies
nowadays uh because you know storytelling should not be about pandering to a certain group of
people it should be about the story itself and for me this kind of stuff is just weird because
i'm not the kind of person that really cares about what these celebrities or actors or actresses are
in real life or what the politics stand for i mean i'm not looking up to these actors as
my role models all i care is that they are good actors and the story works you know if
you're bringing me into a star wars story and it really feels like star wars it respects the lore
and it's not just pandering to nowadays politics i mean you know i couldn't care less uh to
whatever gina carrano is doing in real life that does not bother me but apparently nowadays
uh your politics is uh what matters uh of course everything has limits if you are talking about uh
someone that is like an immoral person like or committing a crime or something like that of
course that person should not be in the public eye and be hired to a big company but other than that
uh i don't really care about the personal lives of these actors actresses and celebrities in general
i mean as long as uh the story is being told well but i believe that the biggest problem with star
wars nowadays it's not only star wars is that a lot of the people working in these companies are
more concerned about politics and pandering and and bringing a social message and you know what
if that was done in organic way that belongs in the story and and uh it's still um and it's still
star wars i'd be totally fine with it but most of the time we get stuff like the high republic
that in my opinion doesn't feel like star wars it feels more like a current days uh
and it's not really concerned about telling a star wars story is more concerned about
addressing social issues and that's the problem that i have with it but also the other drama that
happened was that christine aria was hired to be the host of the high republic uh and
apparently she tweets a lot about against racism and against white people and a lot of people
took offense because they believe that she's generalizing all white people as uh being bad
people and all of that i believe that is all up for interpretation you know you can indeed read
her tweets i didn't read it all of it but you can read uh her tweets and really interpret as
if she's generalizing people which is a terrible thing but you can also just uh interpret as she's
just speaking against racism which is a good thing but i believe the biggest problem with
star wars nowadays is the extremes on both sides where people can never see each other's points or
even be able to agree or even have a conversation is always like a war and it's just it just
complicates the whole thing and people are always pissed off because star wars official account
was protecting ariel saying that they stand with her uh but at the same time a lot of people are
asking gina karana to be fired but they never said anything uh if you go back to the sequel trilogies
we also have the kelly marie train dilemma we also have john boyega it was completely left to
the side so at the same time uh you have star wars official accounts saying that they stand
against uh racism and all of this that's why they're backing up ariel but uh they had no
problem with finn being completely diminished on the chinese poster not only that being completely
sidelined on the story you know he was supposed to be a jedi he was implied that he had force powers
and we don't see any of that in the latest film in fact we heard from jj abram's mouth
that the the thing that uh finn wanted to tell rey is that he was first sensitive so
they did not plan out these characters john boyega said it himself you did not know what to do with
my character and with the cali marie tran character you just painted us as
being these important characters but at the end you just cared about rey and kylo ren
uh so i mean how can you believe that lucasfilm is really standing to all these social issues
when in their own films they sideline minority characters i mean it's kind of ugly so i just
hope that the mandalorian continues to thrive you know because it appears that john favreau
is not really buying into this whole political dilemma you know because i couldn't care less i'm
call myself an international person i'm not concerned about the american politics
or whatever politics i'm concerned about in fact i'm going to star wars to get away from
that i don't think about that stuff i want to to go into a galaxy far far away and just watch
something that feels like star wars and if you want to put some good messaging there that you
believe it's social message alone as long as it is organic with the story it's not going to bother me
because those kind of stuff were always present in star wars i mean if you go back and watch the
prequels it's filled with this whole politics and how the empire took over that's interesting but
that kind of stuff was there in an organic way it was not just there to say oh war is bad and things
you know what i mean like they it feels like nowadays people are forgetting how storytelling
works how you uh it's annoying but anyways guys so that is my view on this whole uh star wars drama
like i said i'm not really concerned about these actors uh in real life or what they are doing
what they stand for uh because they are not my role models anyways i know i'm just watching
the show and i just want them to act well other than that like i said if they're not committing
a terrible crime i don't really care but that's just me uh unfortunately i feel like nowadays um
a lot of people working at lucasfilm don't see star wars uh as a universe rich for great fantasy
and storytelling and taking people to a galaxy far away i just really hope that the mandalorian stays
away from that because i can't wait to see more of the mandalorian but that is my opinion on all this
drama drop a comment down below let me know what you think i'd love to hear your thoughts and if
