Much of the criticism directed at Kathleen Kennedy stems from decisions like casting choices and story directions that emphasize diversity. For instance, the casting of Daisy Ridley as Rey in the sequel trilogy, along with prominent roles for actresses like Rosario Dawson and Natasha Liu Bordizzo on Disney+ series, has been viewed by some as evidence of a political agenda. Critics argue that these choices were made not solely for storytelling but to serve a broader ideological project, labeling Kennedy as the primary instigator.
