Last week the legendary Hollywood actor James Earl Jones celebrated an important anniversary: to the voice Mufasa and Darth Vader turned 90 years old. However, the press service “forgot” about it. Lucasfilm, which has been bombarding with announcements of game projects all week, which will be released under the brand Lucasfilm Games.
At the same time, the studio for some reason did not forget to congratulate the actress on her birthday. Kelly Marie Tranwho played the infamous Rose Tiko in the new trilogy “Star Wars“(Star Wars). According to one of the theories, they preferred not to remember about James Earl Jones, because the actor supports the Republican Party, which has received a barrage of criticism from Hollywood due to the riots under the Capitol.
Did not forget to congratulate the eminent actor, only his colleague in the shop Karl Weathersfamous for movies “Rocky“and”Predator“as well as the series”Mandalorian“(The mandalorian).
But Lucasfilm suddenly remembered that January 15 was the birthday of the leader of the civil rights movement for blacks in the United States. Martin Luther King… For some reason, the politician’s statements were published on January 18, and other American companies also took part in the flash mob.
The act was regarded by many readers as a political move timed to coincide with the inauguration of the new President of the United States. Joe Biden… Suffice it to say that Washington now looks like it was under siege.
“There comes a time when a person has to take a position that is not safe, political or popular, but he has to take it because his conscience tells him that it’s right,” said Lucasfilm.
Studios also recalled the actors’ statements in the comments John Boyega, who spoke quite frankly about the discrimination faced by the colored actors (including Boyega himself and the aforementioned Kelly Marie Tran) who took part in the filming of the new trilogy Disney…
Lucasfilm is a truly amazing place to work. Writers who can work under her wing don’t like to read… Or artists who can’t draw… And the top manager is in charge of everything, who did not know that many comics and books were published within the Star Wars universe, but she pursued a discriminatory policy under the guise of a struggle for diversity and “finding a new audience.”
Therefore, the fact that the studio forgot about the birthday of the famous black actor should not surprise anyone. It’s just an extra touch to the modern Lucasfilm portrait.
Earlier it became known that Bethesda moved the online presentation of the new add-on for The Elder Scrolls Online… The main offices of the publishing house are located near Washington, so representatives of the company decided to be careful.
