Former ‘Star Wars’ Actress Gina Carano Blasts Kathleen Kennedy After South Park’s Panderverse Episode

Recently, Kathleen Kennedy has come under fire, along with Disney, over the latest South Park episode, “Joining the Panderverse.” During the episode, Disney is called out for some of their film choices, poor box office, and dropping stocks. Kathleen Kennedy is a main focus as in the episode, she overused the “panderstone” and was replaced by an even more pandering version of herself from another dimension.

After the episode aired, Gina Carano, who played Cara Dune in “The Mandalorian,” took to social media to discuss the episode. Carano was fired from the “Star Wars” show allegedly over her Twitter account because she declined to post her pronouns when activists demanded she do so. Meanwhile, many others who worked for Disney or Lucasfilm did not have their pronouns listed. Later, she also posted a comment about how people turned on each other during the Holocaust. Pedro Pascal, who played the lead in “The Mandalorian,” also used Holocaust references for the election, but he was not fired for doing so.

According to Carano Kathleen Kennedy was very sensitive to YouTubers who did not like the Star Wars films. And she claims that Kennedy (KK) was the reason why the downvote option was disabled.

Kennedy may indeed be sensitive to the downvote button given what happened a couple of years ago when a video was posted about Kathleen Kennedy on the Oscars YouTube channel. It was ratioed hard at the time that they disabled the downvotes.

Her post reads:

“This is the part where KK demands any YouTubers get censored off of YouTube for sharing and laughing at this hilarious episode, she’ll have YouTube disable the thumbs down option because of the ratio she’ll receive, then she’ll have her publicist ghouls make sure Variety and Hollywood Reporter run hit pieces about the South Park creators and their families smearing their names through every useful idiot she has under her thumb who would sell their soul to work for Lucas film, she’ll activate her online mob to repeat that the South Park creators are racist, bigot, transphobes, and demand the South Park creators publicly apologize by only using words she approves of and finally she’ll demand they subject themselves to a re-education course of 45 people in the lbgtq community zoom call to sit there and listen of how badly they got their feelings hurt all over a little boop of a South Park episode. But maybe just maybe the jig is up.”

Her comments tie into another rumor about the announcement of the “Acolyte”

Another rumor indicated that Kennedy was behind an article that went out in a trade publication about the “Acolyte” show led by former Harvey Weinstein assistant, Leslye Headland. Allegedly the article was run before “Big Bob” Iger and “Little Bob” Chapek agreed to it and they were caught off guard by the announcement. But again, that is all speculation.

Carano has also previously discussed the alleged meetings Lucasfilm wanted her to take after she didn’t agree to put pronouns in her bio (again many Lucasfilm and Disney employees do not have pronouns in their bios.) She said they wanted her to get on zoom with 40 of their LGBTQ community to “discuss” but a lot of these employees were already slamming her on social media.

Carano further continued her discussion on Twitter after someone said she “lost her…mind” in regards to the South Park episode.

 

In this post Carano questions Kennedy and Disney’s behavior towards criticism and fans.

Do you always call a woman crazy just because she has more first hand experience than you & says something you don’t like or understand? Bit misogynistic don’t ya think. Tsk tsk.

Curious if your overlords pay you or do y’all just go ahead & shove your whole head straight up their *ss for free? I’m guessing for free. Might want to come out for some fresh air.

For some added context, not just for you but for the people reading, one of the things your overlords asked me to do was to unfollow certain accounts because they “said bad thing about Kathleen Kennedy.” That was a huge red flag for me.

If I were the head of one of the most powerful entertainment companies in the world, I would know that haters come with the territory & that maybe the “haters” are expressing their thoughts because they actually care and caring is a good thing because as long as they care well hey, we still have something to work with. Maybe we can win their hearts back eventually & maybe they do have some good things to add to the conversation (which they do & did). And at the very least they are still buying the product. Look at Mando season 1, boom, the healing had begun.

If you are a proper good leader you learn how to embrace & communicate, not dictate & silence & demand your actors & directors unfollow & shame more than half of your fan base & the people who have stuck with the franchise for decades.

Side note, don’t say “The force is female” & then allow only the men to express their political views online. In fact just drop the ridiculous phrase completely.

One of the problems your overlords are having now is that they’ve made a lot of people completely stop caring about one of the most beloved franchises in history, all by bullying, pushing aggressive agendas & trying to silence the people criticizing them.

How are they able to tell stories they don’t understand when the ones they identify with are the Empire? They are literally trying to squash the little guys, the rebellion. No wonder the story telling is struggling.

They fired & dehumanized people like me who did absolutely nothing wrong, all to virtue signal to people like you, the Yes Men. But Yes Men unfortunately for you & them, do not drive culture. Maybe they were banking on the kids picking up the slack but one of the best things about this franchise is passing it from generation to generation to share, the competition is too high to throw out something as valuable as that. Why would one generation pass it on when you’ve disrespected & thrown them away?

Your overlords tried to hide behind the two opposing fan bases fighting each other instead of taking responsibility. So they encouraged the hate, all while virtue signaling they are standing up for minorities but instead using them as a shield & weapon. Funny enough just how our government works.

They think people will forget & yes maybe they will but for this moment they have heard the peoples voice & it shook them. They’re choosing to stick with their weak leadership who couldn’t handle YouTubers saying mean things online, when all it would’ve taken is a true leader to step in, take the reigns, take some responsibility, stop discriminating, apologize about the things that have been done wrong, step completely out of politics, be truly inclusive & they’d be back in business.. until then, they’re stuck with you, the Yes Men & their plummeting stock.

I’m not saying I’m right on all fronts but I am open hearted & refused to discriminate based off of powerful people telling me how to think & act & if there was something I needed to apologize for I would have in a heartbeat but I didn’t say or do anything wrong. People come up to me daily to shake my hand & thank me for taking a stand, even people who think diff.

One thing is true, good leadership makes for a better world, leading to healthier & happier people & better opportunity. Look around, we are watching the devastating effects of what bad leadership can do worldwide.”

Now the rumor is that Kathleen Kennedy is once again having a melt down over the South Park episode, Gina Carano’s comments and the digital media and YouTubers covering the situation.

If it’s true I can’t say, but that’s the rumor.
