[@Tedscwa]

You put it so eloquently when you said "Star Wars doesn't need to be shaped by a man or a woman, it needs to be shaped by good storytelling"

[@lb7422]

1000% Agreed.

[@LaraA55]

Yup

[@LaraA55]

My question is Sharmeen qualified to direct this story as she has only CO-DIRECTED two episodes of Miss Marvel which had massive reshoots. There are other well deserving directors with experience in Star Wars such as Tony Gilroy, Bryce Dallas Howard, Deborah Chow, Jon Favreau. The choice of directors needs to be based on merit and experience, not if the person is a male or female based on colour etc.

[@grandmasteryado8478]

Problem is that the directors statement doesn’t have any impact whatsoever on her story telling capability. If people actually believed what you said, they wouldn’t get so mad about her statement. Because if it’s about the storytelling, statements she makes doesn’t matter, because what she said doesn’t impact the story. Wait till the movie comes out to judge.

[@LaraA55]

@@grandmasteryado8478 You made a good point here. But it boils down to her directing skills compared to other directors with more experience and knowledge in big budget science fantasy movies and Tv shows.

[@rawleigh729]

It’s not about just a women being a director, it’s the fact that Disney only cares about that she is a women not if she knows Star Wars or wants to create something that Carry’s on George story legacy

[@marychocolatefairy]

Yeah, I still don't know what she's seen of it, and what her thoughts of it are. That's more important than "because woman of color". Also, I'm sure fans would be happy if someone like Kathryn Bigelow came on board, since she's a legit great director and certainly knows how to do good action. Hiring a documentary director is just similar to what we've been seeing the last few years in the MCU, and which hasn't worked yet.

[@GiovanniAlckmimRusso]

George's wife at the time of the original movie helped shaped the movie into what we know through her editing skills. Not to mention other women who contributed to Star Wars through writing books and comics. Prequel era had plenty of stuff because of the woman who was working at the marketing department at the time.

[@darkstarmedia]

The Prequels has the best marketing by far. The trailers, the tone poems or Episode I, the equipment TV spots for Episode II. Some of the best trailers and TV spots came from the Prequels, and that's been my assessment since I was a little boy. I didn't know the marketing department was made up of women until reading your comment today, and it doesn't change my opinion in the slightest, negatively or positively. They just made good shit.

[@GiovanniAlckmimRusso]

@@darkstarmedia I didn't know it was a woman who was in charge until I read about it on Saltier than Crait Reddit. The post was about how during the prequel era there was an effort to keep the brand alive while with sequel trilogy we didn't get that.

@@OldPanther I was made aware of that after posting this comment and yeah I changed my stance on her but I think this comment still makes sense when her defenders like this guy want to excuse her without knowing the actual context themselves

[@DarthCrow]

My issue with this lady is that she is not making a movie, she's making an insult. If you start off saying you want to make someone uncomfortable with what you are making then you don't care about what you're making, you care about shoving it in the faces of the people you don't like. This is the most ridiculous form of self-sabotage. How can someone have the brainpower to make a movie and not realise that by telling her audience she wants to make potentially half of them uncomfortable in the hopes of attracting the people who are not even interested in her movie, she alienates the fanbase that would assure it would be successful while playing to the politics of those that may not even watch it when it comes out. You don't attract a new audience, which could be potentially smaller, by pushing away the existing audience.

[@thebendu33]

To be fair, her comments about making men uncomfortable is about a decade old. I still don't want that movie to be made and won't watch it if it comes out.

[@clockedfre]

I like how people are using the ''Decade old'' thing to just excuse this all lol. (Not saying you are completely - but some are definitely) Yes, people can change over the years.. but in this case; I highly doubt she has. Just look at her track record and what she involves herself within; in her life. I feel like she may have a more toned down version of what she was before - but it'll still be bad, bc she still has certain agendas at mind when producing this. It's less about the actual story/movie to her and more about her own personal little thing... which is never good. The company that put her in charge don't care either - bc they probably knew about all this beforehand lol. All this woke shit only has a negative effect... as majority don't want this pushed in our faces. Sooner people learn this, the better. An good example of this failing time and time again, is Disney.@@thebendu33

Hit the nail on the head. No one gives a flying f. If it's a man or woman directing, we just want good stories, but like you said, it's this constant woke political narrative Disney has gotten on, constantly waving the flags and screaming in front of everyone every 2 seconds about it.

[@tempestvenator9809]

In a way. Disney is making everything worse by forcing everything to be political. It ironically debunks Jim Sterling's and other idiots points about how "Everything is Political". When really it isn't and by shoving in politics you run more of a risk of enshittening your work than improving it, especially if its a hyper partisan take.

[@jibril2473]

So glad I’m seeing somebody else besides myself point out that Star Wars is being taken over by straight-up misandrists. Who outright says ‘I love making men uncomfortable’ so openly like that?? There’s nothing wrong with a woman directing a Star Wars film or writing a Star Wars story, which has already happened on multiple occasions, but we have a problem with *these* women ‘shaping’ Star Wars, who are glorifying this lie that Star Wars or George Lucas is disrespectful towards women. These same misandrists also totally ignore, not just any strong female characters that are already in Star Wars, but also any female former/writers and Star Wars fans that do exist and *still* do exist.

I have had two occupations that required me to make people feel uncomfortable. The first was serving in the Australian Army where I had to encourage people out of their comfort zones to create personal and professional growth. Now as a Therapist, i have to be able to help people with uncomfortable issues by creating a gradual and safe process for them to build their self worth and resilience back. It's obvious that Sharmeen is not saying that from my point and another difference is I don't find any enjoyment out of making people feel uncomfortable so trust me I'm not smiling and looking for validation in that part of the process of bringing the best out of people. No man or woman should make anyone feel uncomfortable just for the fact they can, that's a bully.

As a female SW fan that's been in a lot of all or mostly female scifi/fantasy groups online, it's been my experience that this actually pisses women off more than men, lol. "This" meaning demeaning men in favor of a woman, Mary Sue-ness, and whatnot. That's why I'm not so sure that when Disney does this it's because they're aiming it at women. It seems to me (particular since it's not just Disney that does it, Amazon did it with WoT and RoP) that there's some politically correct template that's been passed around to people making franchise works, especially in the scifi/fantasy genre, of things they have to follow. Now who's in charge of said template is the question.

[@Dinosreviews]

I remember when that video came out with Patty Jenkins saying how her father was pilot and how she was looking forward to making Rogue Squadron. It was very positive and I think most people were looking forward to it. However Kathleen Kennedy fired her, so it never happened.

We would be like, 'Rey-story "meh" but let's see' but no, it's agenda bombing since the announcement.And I say this as a woman.

[@marychocolatefairy]

Now that I think about it, their choice of SW directors must be pretty limited right now. I'm sure a lot of good/experienced directors don't want to work with them- both because of the strict templates Disney has set up, including for how men and women are written, and because Lucasfilm itself has its own mandates that come from the top. So, their creativity would be extremely constrained. Anyone they do get is there because they share their ideology. Hiring a documentary director (whose own wiki calls her a journalist before it lists filmmaker) and once again doing "the first fill in blank to" hype is confirmation that it will be business as usual and they don't tend to change anything, despite the failure of films with similar directors (e.g. Eternals).

[@LaraA55]

I was thinking this too, you are so right. Is Sharmeen qualified to direct this story as she has only CO-DIRECTED two episodes of Miss Marvel which had massive reshoots. There are other well deserving directors with experience in Star Wars such as Tony Gilroy, Bryce Dallas Howard, Deborah Chow, Jon Favreau. The choice of directors needs to be based on merit and experience, not if the person is a male or female based on colour etc.

It’s not the fact that a woman is directing a Star Wars movie. It’s the fact she just dismissed every woman and even every man really who’s come before her and made Star Wars what it is. Again we have someone who seems to know nothing about the franchise directing.

[@LaraA55]

Bingo. My question is Sharmeen qualified to direct this story as she has only CO-DIRECTED two episodes of Miss Marvel which had massive reshoots. There are other well deserving directors with experience in Star Wars such as Tony Gilroy, Bryce Dallas Howard, Deborah Chow, Jon Favreau. The choice of directors needs to be based on merit and experience, not if the person is a male or female based on colour etc.

Rocha is off his rocker. Your great theory. Someone who actually speaks what they feel

[@the7thfleet936]

He is off his rocker. Hes not a Star Wars fan. Hes a Disney fan. Nobody has a problem with women making a Star Wars story. There’s a problem when Star Wars isn’t about Star Wars. It’s about tHe mEssAgE. It isn’t sexism. Sexism is when you elevate one gender at the cost of another being humiliated. Disney does this all the time. The director isn’t a Star Wars fan. These shills aren’t fans. They’re bullies. They just dismiss the real problems and don’t know what good writing is.

Ok first of all i’ve never heard of this guy lol 😂. Second the real “wuss” here is Rocha. He doesn’t have the Intelligence and courage to criticize these crazy Disney feminist directors that have no talent when it comes to writing Star Wars. This guy is a fool. Thanks for the video Theory 😎👍🏼

No Way far worse. Rian Johnson can direct and story tell. Sure he messed up his vision on Star Wars based on character decisions but this women hasn’t even directed a proper movie.

[@ferrarriohh]

Female Rian Johnson is great troll screenname

[@probstmedia]

This doesnt entirely shock me coming from John Rocha. He has been a Last Jedi fanatic since it came out. He also used to work as the conductor for the Hogwarts Express in Harry. Potter world or whatever it is at Universal. He's a Disney shill too. So, really all of this is on par with everything he usually says.

[@probstmedia]

He's also one of those guys who freaks the fuck out over EVERY single trailer that drops. No matter what movie its for (because he pre-screens and then overly fakes his reactions)

[@steve93pa]

Also, Deborah Chow directed Obi-Wan. How is that not "women shaping star wars"?

[@WrangleMcDangle]

The gender, race, religion, etc of the director is NOT why we are upset. We are upset because they keep hiring people to make Star Wars that seemingly don't like Star Wars. Why is it about making anyone uncomfortable? Why is it not as simple as "make a good star wars movies" and "hire someone who loves star wars"

[@lespaul5734]

That "uncomfortable" quote is from a decade ago, in a discussion about her (Academy Award winning) documentary about sexual violence and honour killings in Pakistan. Its got nothing to do with Star Wars. Obviously a documentary that exposes violence and ritual killings will make people.uncomfortable. be it the men she is exposing, or people in the West that will be shocked when watching the documentary.

I’ve commented on Rocha’s videos. I haven’t broken any of his guidelines. But mine, and other comments, get removed. I even politely pointed out something of FACT which went against his personal opinion on the matter so that was removed. Someone is gatekeeping his channel. I have screenshots of him replying to these ppl. But when the original comment gets too many thumbs-up the comment gets deleted.

[@3Overhaus]

Rocha personally deletes the comments on his channel. A few weeks ago I mentioned Pedro Pascals twitter posts. Rocha lost his shit,called me an idiot and deleted my comment 2 minutes later. 🙄

This guy makes the typical "chill" talking point. We're ( the vast majority of us ) not insecure about women....We're pissed because she's making the movie about women and we wanted a sw movie. We had a woman shaping Lucasfilm for about a decade....right into the ground. Isn't time for someone with real reverence for the franchise to shape it's future? Have a transgender with a pink dress and a huge beard making it... as long as he/she makes it about star wars and not personal vendetta.

[@Mikey-cq6fp]

Don't give Rocha any more of a platform. He's a tool.

[@zerowhiskey]

Exactly, dude is the definition of what’s wrong with today’s society. Such a tool

[@bjjukes4969]

The biggest issue is that this woman does not have any credits when it comes to telling a fictional narrative - which means the director was a casting choice based on gender and skin color. No one blinked an eye when it was announced the Patty Jenkins was going to direct a movie (which Kathleen Kennedy subsequently canceled - of course). I heard rumors that Kathryn Bigelow was being considered for a feature film, which I found kind of exciting. It sucks that now we are getting a Star Wars movie directed by someone who got famous for doing documentaries.

[@RavenTeamCharlie]

My thing is that when I hear phrases like this, I take it as an indicator that the film will be produced a certain way. A way that will degrade all the male characters in some way just to uplift the female ones and create further division. Can see this a mile off. Would loved to be proved wrong though 🙏

[@Jtb1122own]

It's like taking a movie that was directed by a woman before and making a sequel or a remake, and stating "It's time me as a man take over and direct this film." the feminist would be losing their shit over that statement. The uproar was the statement that "it's time a woman directs it." Like woman have some superpower when it comes to taking star wars in the right place. If they would of said something like "We love star wars and we want our fans to love star wars." Not stating their gender, it's obvious what your gender is....

[@AmiliaCaraMia]

I like how this dude is reacting to "sexist" Star Wars fans and somehow doesn't acknowledge what the new amazing female director even said. If your main goal is to piss off the audience, why on earth would you cry like Palpatine that everyone is too mean now.

No point in anybody getting upset about a movie that hasn’t released. We know nothing about the plot and haven’t seen anything. Honestly if you don’t like Disney Star Wars, stop talking about it. Don’t watch the shows, don’t watch the movies, and stop giving them free press.

He won't get canceled because he is attacking men and not women.... he is aligned with the narrative.
