Yeah It’s Gonna Suck: Star Wars X
I warned you! I told you it was in the works. And now it’s official, Ma-Rey Sue Palpatine-Skywalker will be returning in Star Wars X (Currently Untitled).
Daisy Ridley will naturally star. Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is still signed to direct, her best known work is Ms. Marvel. Damon Lindeloff (for once) showed the brains that God gave a pickle and bailed.
Announced at Star Wars Celebration of course.
There is also a teaser for Ashoka: Enjoy, or don’t. I couldn’t care less.
The Force is now completely female. With the exception of Andor, we have nothing but female-centric Star Wars ahead of us. Ashoka, The Acolyte, Ma-Rey Sue the Sequel Trilogy and it’s quite clear that The Mandalorian in question is now Bo Katan.
Supposedly Kathleen Kennedy was going to be announcing her retirement at this Star Wars Celebration but I ain’t seen it yet.
I have been on the record as being very cynical about announcements regarding Kathleen Kennedy’s departure from LucasFilm. Truth be said even if she is suddenly shoved out the door it really doesn’t matter, the LucasFilm she has left behind is built in her fetid Hollywood Club Boomer image. It is now fundamentally incapable of producing anything that isn’t shit.
If Disney is happy to keep bankrupting themselves on this gyno-centric galaxy far, far away, who am I to object? I can use the content and this is shooting fish a barrel.
UPDATE: Admittedly there are currently 36 Disney Star Wars projects that were announced and never got made. Until the cameras are rolling, you ain’t gonna see it.
There is a lot of external pressure to force out Bob Iger in the next two years. If he goes, Ma-Rey Sue’s biggest fan will be gone.
For the moment it’s safer to catalog these as Schrodinger’s Star Wars.
