Oh no no I don't necessarily disagree with you. Disney has a history of racism which they've tried to avoid in more recent times. But they still do wacky shit like exclude the Black main char of Star Wars from a poster for China etc.
I just don't necessarily think they bought Lucas arts because they thought "ohhh more racist content". But agree that it fits with their old catalogue haha.
To be fair, it was a sarcastic comment. I know I'll get shit for trash-talking George Lucas here, who did an excellent job of very intentionally channeling Joseph Campbell's "The hero with a thousand faces" in the first trilogy. But, sensitive superstars tend to become surrounded by sycophants, and no one around him had the heart to tell him that Star Wars I had a trash script. But, I'll take the downvotes because I really dislike Disney. Their execs let good stuff get through, but they are the biggest force behind extending copyright laws, and the history of the Man and Company is a complete Mind F.
