Kanye slams Disney Star Wars films on Joe Rogan Experience Joe Rogan Experience\/DisneyKanye West\u2019s interview on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast is definitely a marathon, but one of the most interesting stretches is the rapper\u2019s opinion on Star Wars, and what Disney has done with the franchise. On October 24, the highly anticipated JRE episode with the man known as Ye was released, despite fears earlier in the week that it would be canceled or delayed after a member of Rogan\u2019s staff fell ill. Yeezy talked at length about how he\u2019s been \u201ccalled to be the leader of the free world,\u201d but he also brought up the Star Wars movies several times, and made it very clear he wasn\u2019t a fan of the new Disney trilogy. Timestamp at 1:14:45 for mobile viewers. \u201cThis is one thing I will say, and this is about to make me mad right here, they said that George Lucas\u2019s prequels are worse than the corporate-made Disney Star Wars,\u201d West seethed. \u201cRevenge of the Sith? We saw how Darth Vader was made! Like, I watched that ten times during Covid. \u2018Don\u2019t jump Anakin, I got the high ground!\u2019\u201d Rogan, apparently a Star Wars purist in his own right as well, was definitely on board with what Kanye was laying down, \u201cI\u2019ll get mad at that too, that\u2019s f**king ridiculous.\u201d The original six movies were superior, Ye argued, because they were original ideas straight from the mind of George Lucas himself instead of people rehashing an old concept, which he explicitly criticized Disney and Pixar for doing quite often instead of taking a chance. \u201cEvery time there\u2019s a new idea, they call it an unproven idea,\u201d West said about Disney and Pixar. \u201cSo they\u2019ll get to Toy Story 800,000 and Frozen Trillion before there\u2019s a new concept and they take a chance.\u201d Kanye\u2019s passion for the sci-fi series might be surprising to some but he can definitely be considered a hardcore fan \u2013 to say the least. #TBT 2008 on set of Alligator Boots\u2026.awwww these memories!!!! pic.twitter.com\/LaMnBMJSmH \u2014 Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) March 13, 2015 Besides taking inspiration from the universe Lucas created for his clothing and architecture projects, he also met his wife Kim Kardashian West for one of the first times while shooting a Star Wars-themed skit with Jimmy Kimmel back in 2008. This particular argument against the new Star Wars films is certainly not a new one, and Kanye will have no trouble finding those who agree with his take. But we wouldn\u2019t count on this changing how Disney operates\u2026even if it is coming from the future leader of the free world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
