As much as I prefer to look at the end product and see its strengths and weaknesses, the backstage on this one is almost as hard to ignore as the culture war invasion. Seeing how often “woke” gets brought up because a few critics out there don’t know what the term is supposed to mean–not being garbage in general but the specific cause being extremist sociopolitical ideology based on pushing stereotypes and attacking anyone outside the hive mind–the formerly known “political correctness” now called “the right side of history” is only one issue with the current Hollywood climate and any media it has corrupted along with itself. The corporate nonsense is also an issue. I didn’t put corporatists above activists in the SEECA acronym just because it sounded better when spoken. The other three–snobs, elitists, and egoists–do fight for first place and that WAS a pronunciation decision. Just for the record.
Now YouTuber Den Of Nerds just dropped a major rumor bomb that changes the corporate discussion about how poorly the Star Wars franchise has been maintained…but not the way the host thinks it does. From his livestream channel podcasts came a rumor from his most trusted leak source that the most hated changes in the Star Wars lore came not from LucasFilm head Kathleen Kennedy but Disney CEO Bob Iger. This supposedly changes the entire narrative. Iger is the real villain and all the hate that Kennedy has gotten has been misplaced and she’s actually the one trying to fix Star Wars. Yeah, pressing X to doubt on…some of this. I think there’s plenty of blame to go around here. Still, let’s give the host a chance to make his case. There’s also a clip that comes from one of his more recent streams, hosted at the clips channel for his livestreams because YouTube is a mess onto itself you need three channels for the same show to get the algorithm to play nice with you.
From the three I grabbed his regular video apologizing to Kennedy for his own comments, which discusses everything that he’s put together after getting this report. Note that what is about to be said is rumor and should be treated as such. Also, there is swearing, which is not a regular thing here at the Spotlight, which is why I bring it up when it’s there.
