Showdown between fans “Star Wars“and the studio Lucasfilm reached its climax when the press service of the latter openly spoke out in support of racism. The presenter of the show dedicated to “Rise of the Republic“(Star Wars: The High Republic).
Get to know with the actress Christina Ariel… Recently it was announced that the artist will be hosting her show dedicated to the new setting in the Star Wars universe. The format of the program involves communication with artists and writers who are responsible for works from the Rise of the Republic series, as well as stories about mythology, characters and the development of the setting.
However, fans are most interested in the posts that Christina Ariel has left on Twitter over the past year. They turned out to be extremely curious.
“White people: stop, damn it! Your racism won’t save you. Your ignorance is not an excuse,” the actress wrote in May 2023, commenting on the pandemic violation of precautions.
“Just to remind you that white women are also involved in supporting and promoting the ideology of white supremacism,” she commented on the speech of a White House press secretary about Kaylee McInnani, who called the coronavirus “kung flu” (kung flu).
“If I watch two white men discuss racism that they will never face, I can never sit with myself …. White men: this is not a topic for you to write me authoritatively in the comments.” – the artist described the debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
“Black people are tired of bearing the burden of this country. White people need to shoulder some of the burden that they have placed on our shoulders,” Ariel said in another post.
“White people think that black people exist as a single monolith and only believe in one thing. They think that when one black says something, we all think so. In fact, they are ignorant,” she added (rather ironic statement in the context of the whole story).
“Demand variety. Don’t just talk about it. You won’t get credit for the fact that there is one black person for every six white people. Fill more places,” the actress said.
“White people: you lose your audience the very moment you claim that constant accusations of racism make you believe less in it when” real racist things “happen. Try to analyze your actions instead of being angry about you called who you are, “she wrote in September 2023.
You can continue indefinitely. When the scandal arose, Lucasfilm reacted by defending Christina Ariel.
“Our Star Wars community is built on hope and inclusiveness. We are against abuse and racism. We support Christina Ariel,” the statement said.

At one time for tweets with bad jokes about pedophilia Disney fired the director James Gunnwho worked on the MCU Marvel… As a result, he was returned, but after the incident, many filmmakers working for the company rushed to clean up their statements on social networks.
And here Lucasfilm this behavior does not bother. The studio has not yet commented on the writer’s racist statements Justin Ireland and the behavior of the creative head of the studio Pablo Hidalgoinsulting fans “Mandalorian” (The Mandalorian).
The claims that Lucasfilm is against racism are also amusing because the press service previously “forgot“congratulate on the anniversary Darth Vader’s voice James Earl Jones… You can also remember about the actor’s revelations John Boyegawho spoke about the discrimination faced by the color actors who took part in the filming of the new trilogy Disney…
