Leftists Go 'Nutty' on George Lucas

 

Lucas at Cannes fielding questions

In Cannes this week to receive the Palme d'Or honorary award for his contributions to the cinema, leftist protestors shouted out negative comments regarding George Lucas' gender preferences in the 'Star Wars' films. 

Lucas shot back at the critics, "Most of the characters are aliens. The idea is you're supposed to accept people for what they are, whether they're big and furry or whether they're green or whatever. The idea is all people are equal." Lucas went on the say, "in the Star Wars universe who were discriminated against were the robots"

Leftist critics also complained about his depiction of women. Lucas responded by saying, "You can't put a woman in pants and say she's a hero. It's their brains and their ability to think and plan and be logical. That's what a hero is."

Lucas is the visionary behind the 'Star Wars' and 'Indiana Jones' franchises, founder of LucasFilm, LucasArts, Industrial Light and Magic, and THX audio.

I believe Lucas fully deserves the Cannes accolades. He is a pioneering force in the history of cinema and the woke leaning critics are really off-base in accusing him of sexism and discrimination.
