> South Park‘s latest special skewered Disney for its recent box office slump, accusing the studio of lazily recycling the same ideas except with diverse casting. The episode particularly took aim at Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy — while at the same time knocking online trolls who have piled on the executive in recent years. The result has caused right-wing celebrities ranging from Elon Musk to former Mandalorian star Gina Carano to weigh in.
> Carano — who was pushed out of Mandalorian in 2021 after a series of controversial online statements — used the episode as an opportunity to slam Kennedy (and the Hollywood trades), writing on X: “This is the part where [Kennedy] demands any YouTubers get censored off of YouTube for sharing and laughing at this hilarious episode, she’ll have YouTube disable the thumbs down option because of the ratio she’ll receive, then she’ll have her publicist ghouls make sure Variety and Hollywood Reporter run hit pieces about the South Park creators and their families smearing their names through every useful idiot she has under her thumb who would sell their soul to work for Lucas film”
I enjoyed it. South Park is at its best when it is roasting society and corporations.
The dual stories of “pandering” and “focusing on academic studies to the exclusion of the trades” were both excellent.
The best part was that, true to form, they took both way too far to make their point. To say, “within reason this is fine, but you’ve jumped the shark”.
She did not get the point at all. Not surprised. Seems kinda thick.

Haha thanks for the reddit cares message. That’s how you know a conservative doesn’t like something you’ve posted. Mmmmmm so passive aggressive and meaningless.
Gina Carano looks like a Gears Of War character lol
Sounds like those libertarian creators are more right wing than we thought
Forgot Gina was involved in Mando
I just find it hilarious when people see fucking Cartman as the voice of reason.
If you find yourself agreeing with that specific character, I suggest inner reflection.
It would be funny if it weren’t so sad.
Yeah they won’t get it. Studios being interested in remakes with women, because they realised its cheaper to get all women casts is the deeply cynical kind of bullshit that is being questioned, not feminism.
THIS JUST IN! SOUTH PARK MOCKS SOMETHING!
People from the U.S. fighting their political wars in the comments again, classic.
Is it not exhausting to boil down everything to liberal vs conservative, like ever?
South Park doesn’t give a fuck about either of you, they’re just calling out how incredibly obnoxious Disney has become, Disney doesn’t give a flying fuck about diversity, the same way the creators of South Park don’t give a fuck about your politic war.
Vote for the moldy orange or for the mummy, they also don’t give a fuck about you.
Why does anyone give a shit what Gina Carano thinks. Let alone writing a headline about it.
If someone is still taking offense to this show after this many years then I have to start watching again. They must be on their game.
Gina Carano? There’s a name I was hoping I wouldn’t hear again.
Put a chick in it and make her gay
To be fair, the episode also mocks the whiny racist Magas who threw tantrums like spoiled toddlers over said movies.
