In a groundbreaking move, Disney has announced that Charmaine Obad Channoy, a feminist director, will be at the helm of the next Star Wars movie. Obad Channoy will become both the first woman and the first person of color to direct a film in this iconic franchise, which has garnered a massive following over the years.
Obad Channoy has expressed her excitement about the project, stating that she believes something special is about to be created. She believes it is high time for a woman to shape the story in a galaxy far, far away. While some may question her intentions, citing a clip from 2015 where Obad Channoy states her enjoyment in making men uncomfortable, it is important to note that her prior work speaks for itself. She has won two Oscars and seven Emmys, and is the only person to have achieved two directing Oscars by the age of 37.
