Lucasfilm CEO Kathleen Kennedy says woman in ‘Star Wars’ suffer more abuse because fan base is “male dominated”

Star Wars suffer more harassment “because of the fan base being so male dominated”.The franchise has long fielded misogynistic and racist comments from online trolls, with both Daisy Ridley and Kelly Marie Tran previously leaving social media as a result of the abuse.Now, ahead of the release of the new Disney+ Star Wars series The Acolyte, the same issue has repeated itself, with some fans referring to the show as “The Wokelyte” due its diverse cast.Created by Leslye Headland, The Acolyte is set long before the events of The Phantom Menace (1999) and charts the emergence of the Dark Side during the High Republic era.“Operating within these giant franchises now, with social media and the level of expectation — it’s terrifying,” Kennedy said, in a new interview with The New York Times.“I think Leslye has struggled a little bit with it. I think a lot of the women who step into Star Wars struggle with this a bit more.
