I had guessed when Disney bought Lucasfilm that the stalled Star Wars TV project might be given new life. Today, my guess was shown to be a good one: ABC Eyes Star Wars TV Series.
The Star Wars series, if it is developed and put on the air, will not be enough to save Disney (and ABC) from being purveyors of garbage attacking the virtue of the nation(s) - just look at the programming on Disney Channel and ABC Family as well as ABC.
The hip people or women may ridicule the nerds who dress up and pretend to be Jedi; yet they don't tolerate them turning this desire to be a noble warrior into something more fruitful and grounded reality. The stereotypical geeks make for pathetic men, and yet it is desirable that they stay in some neutered and passive form or other rather than become some sort of potential "threat," a true knight, by getting in shape, being more masculine and assertive, learning how to defend themselves, and possessing real weapons (i.e. guns). Hawaiian Libertarian has given his perspective on how the repression of men fits into a larger plan; without subscribing to a conspiracy theory one can still admit that misandry is real, though it conveniently works to the benefit of those who have power, whether they be the statists ("liberals") or the plutocrats.
Is it the case that the perpetrator of a massacre in which women are the primary victims is that the man who shot them was sexually frustrated and socially inept? A man on the lowest level of the socio-sexual hierarchy. "If I won't have you respect, I will have your fear? It's better than your scorn." But it is a mistake to attribute this sort of motivation to men who seek to have adequate tools for defending themselves and their families.
