Disney CEO Bob Iger isn't keeping his promises to move away from the woke propaganda, as John Nolte at Breitbart reveals:

A transgender woman (i.e., a man) named “Sister” who wears armor painted in the colors of the trans flag is the latest stormtrooper added to the increasingly insufferable and stupid Star Wars universe.

“Roughly two years after the character was introduced,” reports Bounding Into Comics, “a newly released Star Wars encyclopedia has provided audiences with their first official look at the franchise’s first-ever transgender Clone Trooper.”

So much for Bob Iger’s vow to “quiet the noise”...

“Sister” was first introduced in the Star Wars young adult novel Queen of Hope. What we know, according ot the report, is that he “served alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Commander Cody in the Clone Wars and … once held some reservations about whether the Jedi would accept [his] transgender status.

Well this certainly makes clear what a bad influence the "young adult" genre truly is. If this is all it's about, it's clearly not very creative, let alone informative. The Daily Wire says there are SW fans who've panned the book already:

Many fans pointed out how the introduction of “Sister” broke canon in many ways, noting that the clone troopers were vat-bred killing machines that typically weren’t even given names let alone so-called “gender identities.”

“Disgusting and lore-breaking,” one person wrote. “Disney should be ashamed of themselves.”

Another person added, “Are we really supposed to sit here and take this at face value for canon? C’mon this is some wacky nonsense.”

“She literally has the trans flag on her amor[.] The transgender flag… this is supposed to be a galaxy far away, not downtown California,” another person wrote. “These people just love to kill escapism and fantasy.”

One of the most regrettable things about how classic creations are managed today is that there's only so much face-value propaganda the modern ideologues in charge force in, and refuse to let go of. That's why anybody who really cares cannot sit around and continue to buy these products. It's bad enough already wondering if the comics adaptations of SW will be seeing this madness next. The Force is not with the franchise anymore.

Update: Shawn Fleetwood at the Federalist notes:

The incident represents yet another example of the dishonesty of Disney CEO Bob Iger, who, as I previously noted in these pages, “claimed during the company’s annual shareholder meeting [in April] that Disney’s gamble with political activism and injecting leftist ideology into its content was over.”

[...] Iger’s pledge was shown to be completely meaningless a month later when Disney released “Star Wars: Tales of the Empire,” an animated anthology series geared toward children that featured a Jedi using “they/them” pronouns.

And this is why, if Disney's fortunes have plummeted in the past 4 years, it's best to let them continue to go out of business.
