Part 3/8:
According to recent disclosures obtained through UK legal filings, Disney’s Star Wars spin-off reveals stark disparities in wages based on gender. Early April 2023 documents indicate that only 30% of the nearly 700 employees working on The Acolyte were women, despite the show featuring a female-centric cast. More revealingly, on average, women on set earned 19.4% less per hour than their male counterparts. When broken down further, the middle pay levels showed a 13.5% gap favoring men, highlighting systemic inequality even within a project explicitly marketed as promoting female empowerment.
