FEMPIRE STRIKES BACK: Kathleen Kennedy leaves 'Star Wars'; is it too soon for fans to celebrate?



"Star Wars" fans may be celebrating a bit too early when it comes to Kathleen Kennedy's departure.

Kennedy headed Lucasfilm for 14 years, controlling iconic franchises like "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones."

'After destroying a beloved modern myth ... Kathleen Kennedy is finally stepping down.'

Fans rejoiced online as Disney announced Kennedy will be replaced by two executives: chief creative officer Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan, president and general manager. Filoni will be president at Lucasfilm, while Brennan will be co-president.

Director Filoni's pairing with Brennan was described by Variety as a move that suggests Disney wanted to pair a strong filmmaker with a person who has a solid sense of budgets.

However, despite what appears to be good news for "Star Wars" fans, Kennedy's tenure is not exactly coming to a screeching halt.

One to 'Grogu' on

Kennedy will still serve as a producer for two theatrical "Star Wars" films, the first being 2026's "The Mandalorian and Grogu."

This is the same wing of the franchise's universe that fired former MMA fighter and actress Gina Carano for speaking out against mask mandates.

Additionally, Kennedy will produce "Star Wars: Starfighter," which is set for a 2027 release.

That didn't seem to bother detractors like Babylon Bee editor Joel Berry, who posted, "After destroying a beloved modern myth and replacing it with a 14-year, malice-filled tantrum against the patriarchy, Kathleen Kennedy is finally stepping down. Finally."

Cartoonist George Alexopoulos joked that Kennedy put the franchise "in a grave."

Others screamed from X's rooftops that "Star Wars" is now "free" and is "going to be amazing."

Put a chick in it

X owner Elon Musk even jumped into the mix by simply posting a clip from "South Park: Joining the Panderverse."

The 2023 episode was internationally recognized for hilariously mocking the downward spiral of Disney's intellectual properties at the hands of Kennedy. The episode showed Kennedy demanding the diversification of every character Disney had to offer, changing movies to ensure they had "lame," gay, and female characters, no matter how unsuccessful they were.

The cartoon popularized the phrase, "Put a chick in it! Make it lame and gay!" as a way to describe needless and forced diversity in media.

Your worshipfulness

Disney CEO Bob Iger praised Kennedy in a statement on her way out, saying "We're deeply grateful for Kathleen Kennedy's leadership, her vision, and her stewardship of such an iconic studio and brand."

During her time at Lucasfilm, Kennedy has been criticized by fans not only for her film choices, but for comments that she made toward them.

In 2024, Kennedy accused fans who were unhappy with the show "The Acolyte" of attacking women online.

"I think a lot of the women who step into 'Star Wars' struggle with this a bit more. Because of the fan base being so male dominated, they sometimes get attacked in ways that can be quite personal."

While adding that she too has been a victim, Kennedy alluded to the fact that some of the fans were bigots.

"I stand by my empathy for 'Star Wars' fans. But I want to be clear. Anyone who engages in bigotry, racism or hate speech ... I don't consider a fan."

​'Trey didn't have a car': 'Airplane!' director David Zucker on humble origins of 'South Park' empire



The creators of "South Park" didn't always know it would become a hit — let alone one of the longest-running shows in the history of television.

Just ask Hollywood veteran David Zucker, who hired Trey Parker and Matt Stone shortly before the duo — and the foul-mouthed kids they created — became household names.

'They were also unsure of if "South Park" would ever work.'

Zucker — who directed seminal spoof comedy "Airplane!" along with his brother Jerry and the late Jim Abrahams — recalled that when he first met the University of Colorado grads in the mid-1990s, they were still very much struggling filmmakers.

Ride share

"They came to my office and I met with these guys, and Trey didn't have a car," Zucker said.

Despite their precarious finances, the duo already had a feature film under their belt — 1993's "Cannibal! The Musical" — as well as animated short "The Spirit of Christmas," which would soon land them a deal for "South Park."

Impressed with their talents, Zucker hired Parker and Stone to do a video for Universal executives commemorating the studio's recent purchase by Canadian beverage giant Seagram.

The duo turned in "Your Studio and You," a side-splitting send-up of 1950s industrial videos crammed with cameos by the likes of Steven Spielberg, Sylvester Stallone, and Michael J. Fox.

Hedging their bets

Zucker remembered the young newcomers in 1997 when casting the leads for his longtime passion project, "BASEketball." By then Parker and Stone had made a second film, "Orgazmo," a comedy about a Mormon missionary (Parker) turned porn star turned superhero. With a $25 million budget and major studio backing, Zucker's project represented a major step up.

And while the two were then deep in production on the show that would launch their careers, they assumed it would die a quick death once it aired. So they agreed to star in "BASEketball."

"They were also unsure of if 'South Park' would ever work," said Zucker. "This was a hedge against, you know, Trey having to get his car fixed."

Upon premiering in August 1997, "South Park" was an instant hit, requiring Parker and Stone to shoot "BASEketball" while simultaneously maintaining their grueling TV schedule.

Rookie year

While Zucker had already written a script for "BASEketball" — inspired by an actual sport he and some friends "invented on my driveway" during the 1980s — he relied on his Gen X collaborators to punch it up for the younger "South Park" fan base.

"They probably wrote about a third of it, and you know, a lot of that stuff, because I didn't know what kind of language went on between ... 20-somethings," Zucker explained. Both the actors were in their late 20s at the time.

One of Parker and Stone's most significant additions to the script was helping with the "psych-outs" — tasteless insults "baseketball" players hurl at an opponent in hopes of making him miss a shot.

All-star lineup

Such tactics were never used by the real-life players, whom Zucker described as "all these guys who later became, you know, heads of studios and heads of agencies" — a roster including director Peter Farrelly ("There's Something About Mary" and "Dumb and Dumber"), former CAA head David "Doc" O'Connor, and former Fox Television Group chair Gary Newman.

Zucker noted that he is emphasizing the "psych-out" element in a new "BASEketball" pitch: a reality show featuring teams of comedians playing the sport while tearing each other down.

As for his old "BASEketball" buddies, Zucker said he recently visited their office to get a 10-minute preview of their new movie, "Whitney Springs," a live-action comedy musical starring rapper Kendrick Lamar as a black man working as a slave re-enactor at a living history museum who discovers his white girlfriend's ancestors "owned" his ancestors.

"They showed me 10 minutes of it, and it looks great," said Zucker.

'South Park' succumbs to Trump derangement syndrome!



Et tu, Cartman?

“South Park” recently stuck it to all things GOP, again. The ICE-themed episode torched President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, Homeland Security Director Kristi Noem, and even conservative influencer Charlie Kirk.

The Hollywood denizen decrying alleged attacks on free speech has no problem destroying precious works of art for the climate change agenda.

It’s a stunning reversal for the long-running show, which has hit both sides hard over the years while attacking sacred cows aplenty. Years before Matt Walsh asked, “What Is a Woman?” “South Park” skewered trans men dominating women in competitive sports.

What changed?

One theory? The left insists President Trump got Stephen Colbert fired from CBS, and “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone want to show that it was a financial decision for CBS, not a presidential decree.

While the parent company trimmed “The Late Show’s” legendary losses ($40 million a year, according to reports), it threw $1.5 billion at the “South Park” duo.

Or, Parker and Stone hunger for legacy-media approval after all these years, and they know slamming all things Trump will give them just that.

Sound crazy? Just ask Howard Stern, who crushed his rebel legacy by going woke and liberal in recent years. His fawning 2024 interview of a diminished President Joe Biden showed Stern’s precipitous fall in real time.

Word of warning to Team “South Park” — that move may have backfired on the dethroned King of All Media ...

Praising Cain

He’ll always be Superman to his fans, but Dean Cain is taking this hero stuff seriously.

The “Lois & Clark” TV alum is that rare, openly conservative star. He’s also been relegated to the indie ranks over the past decade.

Coincidence? Of course! Tolerant liberals would never instigate a new, nastier version of the Hollywood blacklist! Just ask James Woods ... or Kevin Sorbo.

Cain recently made headlines for sharing a recruitment-style video for ICE on Instagram.

He went a step further by announcing he would be following his own advice and joining the military branch.

“This country was built on patriots stepping up, whether it was popular or not, and doing the right thing. I truly believe this is the right thing.”

Some, but not all, heroes wear capes ...

Ad nauseam

It’s a start.

AMC is threatening to cut down the endless barrage of commercials and trailers that precede its film screenings. It’s about time, since these snippets can run up to 28 minutes in length. And it’s not just trailers. Commercials greet unsuspecting audiences, the kind that can’t be fast-forwarded through, silenced, or otherwise skipped.

How have moviegoers responded? Most show up late, very late, knowing they’ll miss the noise and still see the movie they showed up for all along.

Here’s a pro tip: Make better movies, and you’ll sell more tickets. It’s just crazy enough to work ...

Who-lu?

Hulu, we hardly knew you.

First, HBO rebranded part of its identity as Max before deciding to run with an HBO Max hybrid label. Did the team behind New Coke play a role in this?

Now, it’s Disney’s turn.

The Mouse House is essentially ending Hulu, its mainstream streaming service, folding it into its Disney+ platform.

Or is it?

The Hulu app will be no more starting sometime in 2026, but customers will still be able to sign up for either Hulu or Disney+.

Huh? Now, it must be those pesky New Coke marketers behind the scenes ...

Hard on the paint

This is almost as funny as Adam McKay’s best comedies.

The writer/director behind “Anchorman” and “Step Brothers” is one of the many Hollywood signatories behind a new Writers Guild of America open letter.

The target? Supreme Leader Donald Trump, the Orange Hitler.

Stop with all the censorship, they collectively cry, citing Stephen Colbert’s cancellation as just one example. Think of the children who won’t know what the word “clapter” means!

Meanwhile, the very same mob stood down during the Twitter Files scandal, the rise of sensitivity readers, the Big Tech attacks on speech, and more.

Hypocrites, the lot of them. It’s even worse for McKay.

The Oscar winner has steered millions to eco-activists who target some of the world’s most precious art pieces. McKay has given and given to the Climate Emergency Fund. Said fund helps eco-maniacs who throw paint on famous works of art and other nasty assaults on beauty.

So, the Hollywood denizen decrying alleged attacks on free speech has no problem destroying precious works of art for the climate change agenda.

That tracks.

Did 'South Park' STEAL Alex Stein's Charlie Kirt schtick?!



“South Park” just unleashed season 27, episode 2, taking a gleeful swing at Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA firebrand who’s garnered significant fame roasting liberal college kids in heated campus debates.

In the episode, the character Eric Cartman adopts a persona resembling Kirk. Donning a similar hairstyle, Cartman, calling himself “the master debater,” goes full scorched-earth on his fellow students, slinging Bible verses and zingers like, “You just hate America, and you love abortions!”

But when Alex Stein, BlazeTV host of “Prime Time with Alex Stein,” caught the episode, he smelled a rat — or rather, a “Kirt.”

He argues the “South Park” take on Kirk feels less like the real deal and more like his own alter ego, “Charlie Kirt” — a “bad-to-the-bone ... mother trucker,” who cranks Kirk’s debate style to 11 with troll-tastic flair to make woke students implode.

Check out Kirt’s most viral campus takedown here:


Unlike Kirk, who Alex characterizes as “a tough debater,” yet “very gracious” and “very respectful,” Cartman’s persona is a verbal wrecking ball with a heaping side of unhinged lunacy.

“I feel like ['South Park' is] channeling a little Charlie Kirt,” says Alex.

He plays a clip from the episode where the phrase “another woke student destroyed” flashes on-screen – a dead ringer for the cheeky edits in his own Kirt videos.


“See, Charlie [Kirk] does not do that last part! We do that! Charlie Kirt does that!” laughs Alex.

“I have a big ego, so I'm going to say it's all me.”

Watch the videos and decide for yourself: Did “South Park” lampoon Charlie Kirk or sneakily swipe Alex’s Kirt schtick?

Exclusive video: Kristi Noem responds to 'South Park' parody of her in interview with Glenn Beck: 'It's so lazy'



Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem responded to a cartoon parody of her on "South Park" when she spoke to Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck on Thursday.

The popular show is taking political themes head-on in its 27th season, which has already shown very unflattering portrayals of President Donald Trump in the first two shows.

'If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that, but clearly they can't. They just pick something petty like that.'

In the newest episode of the show, the face of Noem's character melts off at various moments, and her aides have to chase the face down, reapply it, and a team of makeup artists have to reset it.

Beck relayed how he reacted to his own portrayal on the show to Noem.

"I remember ... when 'South Park' did an episode, and Cartman played me the whole time," Beck said, while laughing. "I didn't even know it happened ... and I ended up, years later, watching it with my son, and we both laughed over it. But welcome to the club!"

Noem said she had not had a chance to watch the show because she was so busy, but she appeared to have heard that they mocked her appearance.

"Yeah, it never ends. But it's so lazy to just constantly make fun of women for how they look," she responded.

"It's always the liberals and the extremists [who] do that," she added. "If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that, but clearly they can't. They just pick something petty like that.

The White House previously responded to South Park by calling it irrelevant.

The show was also critical of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which is shown as so desperate for recruits that it drops its standards to accept anyone.

In a training video for ICE, a song proclaims: "If you're crazy or fat and lazy, we don't care at all!"

The show also has Noem shooting many dogs in different scenes, which refers to her admission in 2024 that she shot a hunting dog that had killed her chickens, claiming the dog had become "untrainable" and "dangerous" to people.

"South Park" also has a scene showing Noem barging into heaven with ICE agents to detain and deport Latino angels after hearing that many illegal aliens are sure to go to heaven.

"No more brownies in heaven!" the cartoon Noem says before her face melts.

Charlie Kirk spoofed by 'South Park' as America's 'master debater' who totally owns liberals



Turning Point USA founder and podcaster Charlie Kirk, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, and Vice President JD Vance found themselves in the crosshairs of a ruthless "South Park" episode Wednesday night.

The episode, titled "Got a Nut," again focused on America's right-wing cultural sphere after the season premiere featured President Trump in bed with Satan and the school's politically correct principal turning to Jesus.

This time, the main storyline hilariously parodies Kirk, while Noem was brutally mocked by creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker.

'I understand it feels good, but it doesn't mean you do it all the time.'

The episode starts with all the school children taking issue with fourth-grader Clyde after he starts a podcast to criticize women, blacks, and Jews. As students yell at him in the hallways, Clyde simply tells them, "Prove me wrong," and to appear on his podcast to debate him.

Resident evil-child Cartman is not pleased to find out that Clyde has stolen his bit and appears on Clyde's podcast to confront him but is cut off by ads for supplements from Clyde's new sponsors. So Cartman meets Clyde at one of his events — a Kirk-style campus debate setup — to replace him and prove he is "the master debater."

Cartman then becomes addicted to debating and starts conducting debates from home, even when he is on the toilet or in bed. Realizing he may have a problem, Cartman's mother intrudes on his "master debating" when she finds he's up all night debating.

"I have my arguments down rock solid. These young college girls are totally unprepared so I can just destroy them and actually edit out the ones that argue back well," Cartman tells his mother about debating. "It just feels so good."

His mother replies, "I understand it feels good, but it doesn't mean you do it all the time."

While Kirk is harmlessly put through the ringer as using Bible references and abortion arguments to "totally" destroy "another woke student," Secretary Noem did not fair nearly as well with the animators.

After guidance counselor Mr. Mackey gets fired because the government is cutting back on "needless spending" in schools, he realizes he has $8,000 per month in expenses he needs to pay for. His solution, as suggested by his banker for some reason, is to join Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Mackey arrives at an ICE recruitment center, where he is asked one question before being hired and sent to a room and shown an introductory video. The video has Noem welcoming recruits and pulling up to random street animals and shooting them, a recurring theme that even continues with her shooting up a pet store in the credits.

Mackey and ICE agents are sent to raids at a "Dora the Explorer" concert and even in heaven, and Mackey's exemplary work gets him an invite to Mar-A-Lago.

There, President Trump, who is parodied in the same way the show used to parody Saddam Hussein, promises Mackey he will replace Noem because "her face freaks me out."

Noem's face is consistently melting off in the episode, and a team of makeup artists are always molding it back together like Humpty Dumpty.

Audiences are introduced to Vice President Vance as a mini-sidekick of Trump, which Vance took on the chin and shared on social media.

"Well, I've finally made it," the vice president wrote on X, sharing an image of himself from the show.

Kirk, too, took the parody in stride, sharing a clip from the episode and claiming it was a word-for-word recreation of one of his campus debates.

Aside from Noem's constant portrayal of shooting animals, a reference to her putting a dog down on her farm, the episode was relatively tame compared to the season premiere.

The White House responded to that episode by calling the show unoriginal and inauthentic, with assistant press secretary Taylor Rogers comparing the show's creators to talentless left-wing pundits.

"This show hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention," Rogers told Rolling Stone.

Parker and Stone responded to criticisms at San Diego Comic Con just a day later and simply said, "We're terribly sorry."

'South Park' roasted Trump — and the White House is not happy



The long-awaited new season of “South Park” kicked off with a serious bang, as its premiere featured President Trump begging for sex from Satan and threatening to sue everyone.

A deepfake-assisted PSA at the end of the episode also starred Trump, where he was portrayed as nude and wandering the desert.

But the White House wasn’t laughing.

“This show hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention,” a statement from the White House read. “President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country’s history — and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump’s hot streak.”


When asked about his response to the White House’s statement, “South Park” co-creator Trey Parker said, “We’re terribly sorry,” and nothing else.

BlazeTV host Dave Landau has a theory as to why “South Park” hit so hard at the president.

“There’s also a theory that they attacked Trump because they’re hoping to get sued and therefore dropped from the Paramount contract because they supposedly do not like it,” Landau says on “Normal World.”

“I thought them making fun of him from the Epstein angle was really funny. Him threatening to sue people was really funny. That’s just my opinion. And they’re absolutely not like whiny left, you know, Democrats,” he continues.

BlazeTV host ¼ Black Garrett doesn’t disagree, but also has his own issue with the episode.

“I think my only problem with it is it wasn’t that funny. I thought they could totally have made fun of Trump in a million other ways,” he says.

Though there was one character who has never disappointed, and didn’t start in the new season.

“Cartman’s death of woke,” Landau laughs. “Now he no longer knows what person he should be because he’s like, ‘Where’s my favorite show? It’s got lesbians and liberals crying on it.’”

'South Park' puts Trump in bed with Satan — here's why



Fans are split on the season 27 premiere episode of "South Park," which features an AI-generated video of President Trump nude, with a cartoon version of him in bed with Satan.

What critics are missing, however, is years worth of history and Easter eggs throughout the episode that are more than likely to play out over the course of the rest of the season. Furthermore, it is probably not even Trump at all.

'Woke is dead ... you can just say "retarded" now, nobody cares.'

The episode starts with fan-favorite and overall evil child Eric Cartman waking up to find out that NPR, "where all the liberals b***h and whine about stuff," is no longer on the air, thanks to Trump.

The reason Cartman is upset about NPR being canceled is not because he supports the content, but because "it was the funniest s**t ever ... where all the lesbians and Jews complain about stuff."

After heading to school, Cartman is excited to have his need for woke nonsense fulfilled by his principal, whose name is literally PC Principal, standing for "politically correct."

However, due to the state of the world, it turns out that PC Principal now wants "PC" to stand for "Power Christian" and tells the school children to turn to the Bible before he literally brings Jesus to the school, who will stand in the halls and eat lunch with the kids every day.

Some conservatives were upset over clips that showed subsequent parts of the episode.

In a clip on X that has been seen nearly seven million times, the cartoon version of Trump is dancing around at a White House party, while a song can be heard with the lyrics, "We're bringing back Christ ... Christ makes the money."

Trump then takes a call from a group of his supporters, who are upset about Jesus being forcibly put in school. Trump tells them he will sue their whole town for criticizing him. Trump then strips nude and gets into bed with Satan.

The show also portrays the hosts of "60 Minutes" being too afraid to criticize Trump over fear of getting sued, with Jesus eventually also trying to prevent Trump's rowdy supporters from turning on him, whispering that they need to be careful or else the Paramount Network, which "South Park" is aired on, is going to get sued.

The ongoing theme of the episode, titled "Sermon on the 'Mount," is that while wokeness may be dead and people are turning to Christianity, it remains important that citizens are not in fear of legal backlash if they criticize those in power.

Or, as Cartman says, "Woke is dead ... you can just say 'retarded' now, nobody cares."

Partisans, some of whom have claimed online that the new episode is indicative of how creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker secretly endorse "pedophilia" and "inbreeding," are actually missing a lot of context from "South Park" lore.

For example, when Trump's supporters first become upset with him, the show purposely shows former teacher Mr. Garrison sitting on his couch watching television. This is important because Garrison had been used to literally be Trump in the show since 2016; in this world, he is Trump.

Then, when the show portrays the new Trump, he has a unique way of talking as if his mouth is half of his head. This is typically how the show portrays Canadians talking, but it is also how the show portrayed celebrities in older episodes. Specifically, it is how the show portrayed Saddam Hussein in episodes as far back as 2000.

Not only did "South Park" consistently portray Hussein as dating Satan, this new version of Trump uses the same voice that was used for Hussein for all those years. A silhouette of the Hussein character was also used in a preview of the new "South Park" season, which was different from how the new Trump is portrayed.

Mr. Garrison as the president of the United States in season 20, first airing in 2016.

As a joke about how Paramount has to praise the Trump administration to avoid a lawsuit, "South Park" did crassly portray President Trump in an AI-generated video at the end of the episode, showcasing him crawling nude through the desert to show his "love" for America.

It seems the Trump White House is not the biggest fan of the new episode, though, as assistant press secretary Taylor Rogers compared the show's creators to talentless left-wing pundits.

"The left's hypocrisy truly has no end — for years they have come after 'South Park' for what they labeled as 'offense' [sic] content, but suddenly they are praising the show," Rogers told Rolling Stone. "Just like the creators of 'South Park,' the left has no authentic or original content, which is why their popularity continues to hit record lows. This show hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention. President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country's history — and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump’s hot streak."

Stone and Parker are also being accused by viewers of having finally "sold out," after reaching a $1.5 billion streaming deal with Paramount, announced just days before the new episode airs.

Based on the reactions, however, it would seem that, somehow, it is now the network that is entertaining the joke, not the fans.

Stone and Parker's response to the outrage?

"We're terribly sorry."
