Ugh, Im sorry I support BDS usually, Im cancelling Game Pass over it, but the reasoning for the Disney+ boycott makes no sense. It is simply the fact that Disney cast two actresses in different movies, Captain America Brave New World and Snow White, filmed before the current war and genocide, neither of which made a big splash and one of which bombed. Also in one they basically removed all controversial aspects from the character late in production to avoid controversy anyway. Either way surely there would be a more positive impact for them to reach the wider audience with the themes Andor discusses?

Im sorry, Im pro-Palestine, and Ive been active in that, but I do not see the logic in this, you can strongly support Palestine and not always agree with the decisions of one specific organisation. From the sounds of it most of them did not want to go ahead with this decision but they took it anyway to avoid a split in the group which I respect. Just a shame and probably the end of the podcast as we know it given that Disney+ seems unlikely to come off that list any time soon as again it was a boycott over two films that already came out, and Clone Wars Season 7 is only on Disney+. Also not really interested in them going back to KotOR but thats a different issue.

Also if Fandom tries to nuke this post for politics I am making it in the context of a Star Was podcast. Almost like politics is inseparable from our everyday lives including in entertainment of all kinds!

Edit: And to make things extremely clear: screw Disney, free Palestine. I just fail to see the logic in this one particular action.
