    I hate the straw man argument that people say if you agree with Cartman in this episode, you must also agree with all wild fucked up shit he’s infamously known for. Well a broken clock is right twice a day, and Cartman was absolutely right when it comes to Kathleen Kennedy. She’s a huge reason Star Wars was ruined since Disney acquired it. Also as far as show writing goes, Cartman was the only appropriate character to voice this opinion because if it were Kyle or Stan it would have come across as just stereotypical white boys hating on “woke politics” in modern movies. By having Cartman be the one to do it, it allowed the opinion to be exaggerated to the extreme for comedic effect, without tarnishing Stan or Kyle who usually find the middle ground and are pretty based when it comes to pressing issues or hot takes.
