South Park’s latest special skewered Disney for its recent box office slump, accusing the studio of lazily recycling the same ideas except with diverse casting. The episode particularly took aim at Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy — while at the same time knocking online trolls who have piled on the executive in recent years.
