LOS ANGELES – Fulfilling the direst of predictions from earlier this year, the December release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens was a monumental failure, both critically and commercially.

2015 saw a growing push-back against what small segments of the viewing public saw as progressive politics being inserted into beloved film franchises, with accusations of a liberal or feminist agenda informing such films as Mad Max: Fury Road and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Indeed, prominent Canadian film critic Aaron Clarey, well-known for his keen grasp of popular culture, decried Fury Road as feminist propaganda that depicted women in leadership roles, something that is impossible and unheard of in the real world. Of the film – the fourth in the iconic Australian film franchise that is a hallmark of uniquely-Australian culture – Clarey wrote that the movie was, “guaranteed to be nothing more than feminist propaganda… a piece of American culture ruined.”

While Clarey and other online commentators – many identifying as right-wingers or “white nationalists on paper” – tried to warn the viewing public against the slow creep of feminist propaganda, the studios were not deterred. Sadly, Fury Road opened to empty theaters, essentially bankrupting Warner Brothers overnight.

Similar to the Fury Road debacle, Disney’s new Star Wars film allegedly features not only a woman, but also a man of color as its two protagonists, a sure indicator that this latest entry in the beloved science-fiction franchise is another Trojan-horse attempt to brainwash audience members with progressive propaganda.

Renowned Canadian film critic and household name, Davis M.J. Aurini, being staunchly pro-white and anti-feminism, wrote of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, “the underlying message of the movie is that men – and White men in particular – are useless, destructive failures,” and encouraged audiences to stay away.

Undeterred by the negative feedback as well as the “ironically” racist Twitter hashtag, #BoycottStarWarsVII, which gained traction among the general viewing public in October of this year, Disney released Star Wars: The Force Awakens during the Christmas season. Sadly, in a repeat of the Mad Max: Fury Road release, Star Wars opened to empty theaters, with Disney suffering losses in the billions.

“We’re flabbergasted,” said Bob Iger, CEO of The Walt Disney Company. “We thought we’d be able to sneak our nefarious subliminal messages of female superiority, miscegenation and the impotence of the White Man into this film and brainwash the viewing public. We just never believed we’d have a repeat of Fury Road on our hands.”

While Disney suffered a massive hit, with The Force Awakens failing to sell even a single ticket, Iger was optimistic about the company’s future. “We’ve certainly learned from this mistake,” said Iger. “Where we initially thought that the criticisms levied against the film were coming from a very backwards, regressive minority of racists and misogynists, we understand now that the world just isn’t ready for things like a female protagonist, or a black main character.”

As of press time, Disney had announced that it will be recouping its losses with a re-make of the silent-era classic, The Birth of a Nation. The D.W. Griffith film that depicted the Ku Klux Klan as triumphant heroes in post-Civil War America will be helmed by Mel Gibson. Bruce Willis will star. No women or people of color will appear in the film.

J.J. Abrams, director of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, will never work in Hollywood again.
