Elon Musk Criticizes Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy Over 'The Acolyte'

Elon Musk has criticized Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy for her handling of the Star Wars franchise, particularly targeting the latest series 'The Acolyte.' Musk described Kennedy as 'super bigoted against men' and more 'deadly than the Death Star,' attributing the franchise's decline to her focus on progressive themes and female protagonists. 'The Acolyte,' directed by Leslye Headland, features nonbinary and LGBTQ characters and has been criticized for its perceived 'woke' propaganda, receiving a low audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Kennedy defended her decision to support diverse storytelling, stating that the male-dominated fanbase often presents challenges for women in the industry. This controversy underscores the ongoing debate about inclusivity and representation in major franchises.
