By now, many Americans are familiar with leftists’ unhealthy obsession with forcing transgenderism onto adults and children alike. But as it turns out, these delusions about biological sex are also popping up in a galaxy far, far away.
In their latest act of left-wing activism, The Walt Disney Company’s “Star Wars” brand is giving fans a look at its first-ever trans-identifying clone trooper, named “Sister.” According to Breitbart News, the character was originally introduced in a young adult novel two years ago but is now getting his first visual appearance in a new “Star Wars” encyclopedia.
For those unfamiliar with the “Star Wars” universe, clone troopers are human clones of the bounty hunter Jango Fett, a man. Having been created with Fett’s DNA, all clones look identical to one another, sharing the same face, voice, and other physical features.
According to Bounding Into Comics, the “illustrated encyclopedia [is] intended for kids [and] written from the perspective of Bad Batch’s Captain Rex.” The outlet shared a quote from the book in which Rex refers to “Sister” using female pronouns.
“When one of our kind expressed her gender identity differently than her fellow troopers, she [feared] she’d have to hide who she truly was inside,” Rex said, according to the outlet. “Fortunately, her brothers in the 7th Sky Corps gave her the name Sister as a constant reminder that she belonged.”
Artwork of “Sister” from the encyclopedia shared online shows a male clone with long, braided hair in white armor painted with the colors of the trans flag.
The incident represents yet another example of the dishonesty of Disney CEO Bob Iger, who, as I previously noted in these pages, “claimed during the company’s annual shareholder meeting [in April] that Disney’s gamble with political activism and injecting leftist ideology into its content was over.”
“I’ve always believed that we have a responsibility to do good in the world, but we know our job is not to advance any kind of agenda,” Iger said. “For as long as I’m in the job, I’m going to continue to be guided by a sense of decency and respect, and we’ll always trust our instincts.”
Our job is to “entertain, first and foremost,” he added.
Iger’s pledge was shown to be completely meaningless a month later when Disney released “Star Wars: Tales of the Empire,” an animated anthology series geared toward children that featured a Jedi using “they/them” pronouns.
The situation got even worse with the franchise’s subsequent TV series, “The Acolyte.” Currently sitting at an 18 percent favorability rating with audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, the live-action show introduced viewers to lesbian space witches who create babies using magical Force powers. The “gayest Star Wars yet” was canceled following its poor performance.
