Foreword<\/strong><\/p>\n

This site is about education and children experiences. About activities with children and how to present the world to them. This is the context in which I say: keep the children far from Star Wars Episode VIII.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Some Wars<\/strong>
\nThere’s something very very wrong with Star Wars episode VIII (The Last Jedi). Beyond good actors and spectacular CGI, forceful marketing and excellent official reviews, there’s a deep flaw.<\/p>\n

It is clear, there are a lot of plot holes and fade lines, but this is not the real problem with this film. By the way, the plot line is the worst in Star Wars history and one of the worst considering any movie I’ve ever watched. Characters development: disaster. And even worse, the known rules of the Star Wars universe are not respected: the stage is inconsistent. All these make a bad movie, but this is not the problem.<\/p>\n

To be short, the idea is that all male characters are eviscerated. When I say all, I mean absolutely all, no matter on which side they stand, regardless of their race, age or experience. They are all either flawed, ridiculous, coward or in the best case, they look like a caricature. On the other hand, all female characters are sort of creepy heroines. They are all either not understood, unknown, hidden, in coma or under-appreciated. They can’t express themselves and everything falls apart under their eyes (obviously, because of male characters).<\/p>\n

Beyond this, some characters conveniently die on each side. This in such a way that only men remain on the dark side, angry men. On the other side, all it’s left is a tiny group saved\/led by women.<\/p>\n

What is this ? Must we be spectators at a “Sex Wars” series started by Disney ? Is this misandry what our boys must see ? Or is this what you want to teach your daughters ? Is it just something that Disney wants to exploit, in order to cash in ? Because all along, there is also the rest of cheap marketing added: from all races and most times pointless heroes (just to check on race diversity), to pointless porgs (just to sell toys and market this to all ages).<\/p>\n

This SJW movie only confuses the children. It’s failed feminism, deviated in misandry. It is a disservice to feminism, in the first place.<\/p>\n

But there is more: Disney felt the need to be cynical and disrespectful to everything that J.J.Abrams<\/em> and even George Lucas<\/em> previously did (see here<\/a>). Why couldn’t they just start a new story, why did they have to insult their predecessors’ work ? Easy money ? Or because the story was too … boy-ish ? There are even worse scenarios in my head (like capitalizing a brand for a propaganda platform, social engineering, etc), but I’ll stop speculating … Maybe they are just locked in their own ideology: anything that men created in the past must be ridiculed and devalued.<\/p>\n

\n

Conclusions<\/strong>
\nFans are outraged. And they are because of many many different reasons. But here I only want to point on the psychological aspects and what a child or teenager can see. Lucasfilm said initially that fan base reactions are in fact trolls’ posts. Then marched on the idea that it’s all just immature fanboy opinions. I am not a die-hard fan of this franchise. I always thought it is a story for children. And this is exactly why I write this review.<\/p>\n

Most people consider that Rian Johnson<\/em>, the director of this film, is guilty for this mess. He is, certainly, but actually the overall picture is much worse. This guy is like Poe that ended in being ridiculous, while vice admiral Holdo got out as a misunderstood heroine. Unsurprisingly, Lucasfilm director Kathleen Kennedy<\/em> said: “The Force is female”. So I think that the “Sex Wars” thinking is deeper within Lucasfilm and Disney. Just check other of their latest products and you’ll begin to see a pattern.<\/p>\n

One thing is to promote female characters or feminine values and something else is to be disrespectful. Lucasfilm Story Group<\/em> pushes bias within our society. They propose a war between genders within this franchise and blame the backlash on the fans who felt insulted. Lucasfilm needs to learn that gender is not supposed to be part of the problem (unless they want to create a problem).<\/p>\n

Anyway, I am worried, and I’ll make efforts to keep children as far as possible from Disney marketing\/products. I don’t want my children (sons\/nieces\/nephews) to hate or have disrespect for the opposite gender.<\/p>\n
