Kulturkampf

[Polident]

Been checked out of Star Wars for some time. There’s a new show or movie or something causing a stir for, really, hitting all sorts of topics. From the black guy in it having the side dreads. To mostly non-white women led. To being set during the prequels. To admitting there’s a gay agenda with it. To the creator being, uh, Harvey Weinstein’s personal assistant during his heyday. And somehow there’s a conspiracy that she’s his daughter. And searching for context shows this particular culture battle has been going on since 2020??

All that aside, the creator in question made Russian Doll. Good show. And Kogonada got roped in to direct some episodes. I’ll be watching it. Actually I’ll probably forget by the time it’s out.
