Star Wars creator George Lucas is striking back against persistent attacks from leftists who say that his space opera is “racist” and anti-woman.
For years wokesters have attacked the original Star Wars films as having a lack of “diversity,” for having too many white men, and for diminishing female characters. But Lucas finally spoke out to knock down these attacks and characterized them as baseless during a reception at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival after he received the prestigious Palme d’Or on Saturday.
Lucas said he was thrilled to receive the award, but admitted he may never have expected such recognition, saying, “Obviously we have a lot of fans, but, in terms of Star Wars and stuff, I don’t make the kind of movies that win awards,” People Magazine reported.
He also admitted that when he was first breaking onto the business, making money was one of the last things on his mind. He said, “to be very honest with you, we weren’t really that interested in making money. We were interested in making movies.”
Lucas was also asked about the accusations that his Star Wars films made between 1977 and 2005 lack “diversity,” but he vehemently disagreed with that claim.
“They would say, ‘It’s all white men. Most of the people are aliens!” Lucas said, according to Variety.
He also disagreed that he is pushing some sort of white supremacist message.
“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,” he continued. “The idea is all people are equal.”
