Disney and Lucasfilm, which produces the Starwars Franchise, recently inked a deal with Chinese Communist Party-linked Tencent to produce Star Wars content for China. The unearthed agreement to produce an “authentic Star Wars story with Chinese characteristics” follows Disney firing actress Gina Carano, who starred in Disney+’s The Mandalorian, for sharing conservative posts on social media. The Star Wars franchise, however, is open to working with the genocidal, authoritarian, and deadly Chinese Communist Party. Disney and Lucasfilm inked a deal with Shenzhen-based Tencent and its subsidiary China Literature to “to license and distribute 40 translated Star Wars novels for Chinese readers.”
