Disney Forced To Reveal Unequal Pay On Star Wars Show ‘The Acolyte’

Documents filed by Disney have revealed that its latest Star Wars spinoff series The Acolyte isn't actually a force for equality despite famously featuring a female-centric cast.

According to the filings, in early April last year, when production of the streaming series was still in full swing, just 30% of the 695 employees were female and across the entire workforce, women's average hourly pay was 19.4% lower than men’s.

Lol maybe Forbes should look at the demographic makeup of the executive staff responsible for making these decisions. Hint: it's not white dudes.

Also, why are they basing this on "hourly pay" and what is the breakdown by role? VFX editors, for example, are obviously going to make more than a PA, and there are way more PA's on a set than editors which is going to affect the average.

This is obviously an article written to spin a narrative.
