If You Need Star Wars To Talk About Politics, You’re A Disney Adult

The adoption of ‘Star Wars Day’ by politicians signals that the pop cultural brain rot within our society has reached critical mass.

If you were on the internet on Monday, you probably saw something related to Star Wars Day. As happens every year on this day, social media sites were inundated with trivia, tributes, and the ever-cringeworthy salutation “May the Fourth be with you” (get it?????) to celebrate the blockbuster franchise bestowed upon the world by George Lucas in 1977.

Despite the steep drop in quality under Disney’s auspices and the bitter online fan clashes over the Mouse’s handling of the property, Star Wars remains a highly popular, and highly lucrative, intellectual property. (Full disclosure: since subjecting myself to the cinematic torture session that was an 8:30 showing of The Rise of Skywalker in 2019, I have gone cold turkey on any and all Star Wars media. No, I have not seen The Mandalorian.)

This mawkish and frankly cringe “holiday” (totally butchering the real meaning of that word) has been adopted not only by online nerds and Facebook moms, but by our leaders and government entities — you know, the people who you’d think would maintain a sense of decorum and not make cheap appeals to your love of Baby Yoda for some likes on X.

In fact, it has escalated to the point of self-parody. Just take a look at this AI slop posted by Rep Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., that’s guaranteed to give you nightmares of small, green Mike Johnsons hiding under your bed:

Seemingly on a mission to make Star Wars appear as fake and gay as possible, Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill — second perhaps only to Stephen King in wasting his accumulated public goodwill on cheap political statements — made multiple Star Wars-themed videos to promote … the Obama Presidential Center. Never mind that the eyesore masquerading as a presidential center looks like the kind of place Luke, Leia, Han Solo, and the Rebels would bust out of after stealing the plans of another Imperial superweapon.
