Disney has systematically dismantled the greatest cinematic money-printing franchise by turning the Star Wars brand into a woke, feminized version of the space fantasy series that George Lucas spawned back in the late 1970s.<\/p>\n

Generations of boys and men have enjoyed the good\/evil, dark\/light, David\/Goliath dualism that is as old as Thermopylae, the Odyssey and the Bible itself.\u00a0 But Disney (and Lucas himself) had to mess with the classic “apprentice becomes hero and wins the princess” and instead went with girl-boss saves the universe despite helpless and\/or evil men.<\/p>\n

Well, the response from the paying audiences has been souring over the last decade and now it’s bottomed out.\u00a0 And the latest symptom of this rejection is the cancellation after one season of “The Acolyte<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

This incredibly expensive television series was trashed by the fans and viewership plummeted by the season finale.\u00a0 And so it’s been cancelled.\u00a0 And the reason that the producers attribute the cancellation to is:<\/p>\n

misogyny\/homophobia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Well, there you go.\u00a0 The misogynistic homophobes have voted with their feet.\u00a0 Now will Disney learn from this or do they need to lose some further hundreds of millions of dollars?\u00a0 Let’s see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
