If I’m Kathleen Kennedy, then I have no choice but to fire Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. No offence to the filmmaker, but, we’re just three days into the new year, and she’s turning into a PR nightmare for Disney and LucasFilm.
Star Wars fans, the crazed, hyperventilating kind, and there are millions of them, are already scarred by the last trilogy, spearheaded by Rian Johnson’s full-on assault on their childhood. The last thing they want is to hear Obaid-Chinoy saying that her goal is to “make men uncomfortable.”
That’s literally what Obaid-Chinoy said in a recently unearthed clip that’s gone viral on social media:
I like to make men uncomfortable. I enjoy making men uncomfortable […] It’s only when you’re uncomfortable and have to have difficult conversations that you will, perhaps, look at yourself in the mirror and not like the reflection.
