Despite numerous examples of its box office failures due to its woke agenda, Disney has once again chosen to sacrifice its profits for the sake of pushing a political narrative. This time, it has hired activist and documentary filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy to direct the next “Star Wars” movie, set to release in 2026.
In a 2015 interview, host Jon Stewart pointed out Obaid-Chinoy’s tendency to portray men as “a**holes” in her projects, to which she responded giggling, “I enjoy making men uncomfortable.” It is concerning that Disney would choose to hire someone who clearly has a deep-seated hatred for a large portion of their audience.
Obaid-Chinoy stated, “It is important to be able to look into the eyes of a man and say, ‘I am here and recognize that. And recognize that I am working to bring something that makes you uncomfortable, and it should make you uncomfortable because you need to change your attitude.’” However, it is highly unlikely that her message will have any real impact on changing anyone’s attitude. It is absurd to think that viewers will pay to be lectured and shamed about their views and beliefs.

Disney has continuously made poor decisions, putting their political beliefs above their profits. In 2023, it lost its box office crown for the first time in years. And now, by hiring Obaid-Chinoy to direct a “Star Wars” film, it is setting itself up for another flop.
Conservative commentator Matt Walsh agrees, stating, “This movie is destined to be Disney’s biggest flop yet.” It is clear that audiences are tired of the constant virtue signaling and political messages being pushed by Disney. They want to be entertained, not lectured about their beliefs.
Disney’s track record of sacrificing profits for their woke agenda is becoming more and more evident. It is time for the company to realize that their primary purpose should be creating entertaining and enjoyable films, not pushing a political narrative. At this rate, it is only a matter of time before Disney’s actions result in its downfall.

The decision to hire Obaid-Chinoy as the director of a beloved franchise is just another example of Disney’s incompetence. Obaid-Chinoy’s statement, “We’re in 2024. It’s about time we have a woman shape a story in a galaxy far, far away,” shows that she is more concerned with her political agenda than creating a truly engaging and successful film.
Disney needs to understand that people of all genders, races, and backgrounds go to see “Star Wars” for the entertainment and escapism it provides. They do not want to be bombarded with a director’s personal political views.
If Disney wants to continue to thrive in the film industry, it needs to take a step back and reevaluate its priorities. The company needs to realize that its audience wants to be entertained, not preached to. And if it continues on this path of pushing a divisive agenda, it will undoubtedly lead to its downfall.
Disney’s decision to hire Obaid-Chinoy is a clear indication that the company cares more about advancing a political agenda than creating successful and entertaining films. It is time for Disney to put its audience first and focus on what truly matters in the film industry – delivering quality entertainment.
At this point I think they’re going to eventually sink Walt’s company. I don’t know how many times they need to prove that ‘woke goes broke’.
