Pope Releases Encyclical On Perils Of Disney’s ‘Star Wars’ Strategy

VATICAN CITY-Lambasting the muddled" plotlines of the post-Lucas era in a staggering 60,000 words, Pope Leo XIV released a new encyclical Friday on the perils of Disney's Star Wars strategy. The Star Wars franchise, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which old fans and new fans can live together," the supreme pontiff wrote in the seven-part document titled Palpatinus Referendum, which warns that the franchise has lost its way" and that humanity's moviegoers are in grave danger" of suffering at the hands of Lucasfilm president Dave Filoni. We are living through a rapid phase of transition, a change of era' in which Disney passes on a Steven Soderbergh-developed Kylo Ren movie but then puts Shawn Levy at the helm of a theatrical release. I fear for what horrors the fan base might soon endure, but I would be negligent not to give Andor its flowers." The encyclical concluded with a 15-page treatment for a Kit Fisto miniseries, which the pope claimed Disney was too cowardly" to let him executive produce.
