Why people are upset about Jon Favreau's new Star Wars series
Disney and Lucasfilm have announced that the Iron Man and Jungle Book director will write and executive produce a new live-action Star Wars series. While few are doubting Favreau's abilities, a lot of people are disappointed that another straight, white male will oversee a Star Wars project.

They just keep giving Star Wars movies to the best people possible. I love it.

I’ve got mixed feelings about this to be sure, but I’m hoping he brings the heart, warmth and humanity that shines in his work from Elf, to Chef to the Jungle Book, and staffs the show with producers and writers who will provide new perspectives to LFL and SW.

On the one hand, Jon Favreau is a proven blockbuster filmmaker with a strong command of fantasy storytelling.
On the other hand, announcing that another straight white dude is helming a Star Wars project ON INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY is… not great.

“This series will allow Jon the chance to work with a diverse group of writers and directors and give Lucasfilm the opportunity to build a robust talent base.” I hope so.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if a million voices suddenly cried out in boredom, and were suddenly asleep.
