That Star Wars Girl Speaks Out on the Assassination of Charlie Kirk and Murder Celebration Culture
Anna, known as That Star Wars Girl, breaks her long-standing policy against discussing politics on her channel after witnessing the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the widespread celebration of his death. Having built her platform on the principle that Star Wars is for everyone regardless of political beliefs, she explains why the events of the past 48 hours, including Kirk's public murder and the stabbing death of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, have pushed her to speak out against what she sees as a dangerous normalization of political violence and dehumanization in American society.
Anna, the creator behind That Star Wars Girl channel, opens by addressing her audience of "Ewoks, Tribbles, Droids, and Wookies" with an unprecedented message. She has always maintained a strict policy against discussing politics on her platform, believing that Star Wars should be for everyone regardless of background or political affiliation. Her goal has been to create a space where anyone in the world could enjoy Star Wars content without the divisiveness of political discourse.
However, the events of the past 48 hours have compelled her to break this silence. She explains that she never thought she would make this type of video, but what she has witnessed has been so disturbing that she feels morally obligated to speak out.
Witnessing the Assassination of Charlie Kirk
Anna describes the moment she turned on her computer and saw the first video of Charlie Kirk's assassination. Despite never following Kirk personally and actively avoiding politics, she had seen his posts go viral frequently enough to know who he was. What she witnessed was deeply traumatic: Kirk was sitting and having an open conversation with people who disagreed with him when a bullet went through his neck, causing blood to spray out violently.
She describes watching multiple angles of the incident, including footage of the shooter on a roof. According to her account, an elderly individual had called in bomb threats for a marathon, creating a distraction that kept police busy while the shooter was able to get into position. At the time of her recording, the shooter was still at large.
The Celebration of Murder
What disturbs Anna most is not just the assassination itself, but the widespread celebration she has witnessed across social media platforms, particularly TikTok. She describes people responding with glee, comparing their joy to children discovering they're going to Disneyland or meeting Santa Claus for the first time. The level of celebration over another human being's death has left her feeling embarrassed to be part of the human race.
She addresses the common justifications she has seen repeated online: that Kirk was racist, homophobic, or a Nazi. As someone who has herself been called a "fat white misogynistic man baby that lives in my mother's basement," she understands how easily these labels are thrown around without evidence. She challenges anyone making these accusations to provide actual quotes or facts rather than repeating buzzwords.
The Weaponization of Language
Anna reflects on her own experience being called racist for tweeting "LOL," an incident she has covered in previous videos on her channel. This experience has made her skeptical of accusations made without receipts or evidence. She points out that if Kirk had truly said something so racist, misogynistic, or appalling, his critics should be able to quote him directly rather than simply repeating labels.
She also addresses a specific claim about Kirk not believing in empathy, stating that people who make this claim clearly did not watch the full context of whatever they are referencing. Even if the claim were true, she argues that compassion should still be extended to another human being—someone's child, cousin, brother, husband, and parent.
A Father and a Human Being
Anna mentions watching a video of Kirk finishing a show and his young daughter running into his arms. As a new parent herself, this image hit her particularly hard. She expresses disgust that people could celebrate the death of someone who was simply talking and having open debates, someone who never physically harmed anyone or committed murder.
Kirk's approach, she notes, was simply to show up with a booth, microphones, and cameras to have conversations with people who disagreed with him—and he didn't even charge them for it. If people were embarrassed by losing debates to him because he knew statistics, she suggests they should do their research and prepare rather than celebrating his death.
The Double Standard of Political Violence
Anna connects Kirk's assassination to previous incidents of political violence, referencing assassination attempts on the former president both before and during his second term—one involving someone who missed their shot and another incident at a golf course. While admitting she doesn't follow politics closely, she emphasizes that the president, regardless of party, deserves respect as the elected leader of the country.
She expresses frustration with people who constantly complain about America, suggesting that if they hate it so much, they are free to move to Canada, Mexico, Central or South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, or Australia. She points out the irony that when people do leave, they often discover life elsewhere isn't what they expected, while simultaneously, people from around the world are fleeing to America.
The Murder of Iryna Zarutska
Anna explains that her breaking point actually began slightly earlier with the murder of Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee who had escaped a war zone to come to America for safety. Zarutska had just gotten off work at a pizza place, still wearing her uniform, and was sitting on a bus minding her own business on her phone when a person who had been arrested 14 times previously stabbed her three times. No one intervened to help her.
What disturbed Anna was the lack of news coverage and public outrage. She contrasts the minimal response to Zarutska's murder with the weeks of attention given to a Sydney Sweeney jeans commercial, noting that people seemed more upset about an advertisement than an innocent girl being murdered on public transportation.
Personal Experience with Public Transportation Violence
Having lived in San Francisco for years, Anna shares that she has personal experience with dangerous situations on public transportation. The video of Zarutska's murder triggered memories of incidents she faced as a teenager in college in San Francisco, situations where she was lucky to have survived. She couldn't sleep after watching the video, recognizing that what happened to Zarutska could easily have happened to her.
She states emphatically that she will never take public transportation again except for planes, which she has no choice about unless she becomes wealthy enough to afford a private jet. Her husband occasionally suggests taking trains, but her experiences have made her refuse.
Two Murders in One Week
Anna expresses the trauma of having watched two people die and bleed out in the span of one week. First, Zarutska was brutally murdered while no one helped until it was too late. Then Kirk, who was simply talking and having open conversations, was assassinated. She emphasizes again that disagreeing with someone's opinions does not mean they deserve to die, and she hopes no one else has to witness what she has seen.
The Death of Civil Discourse
Anna declares she is done accepting the current state of discourse. Just because someone disagrees or has a different opinion on the internet does not make them a Nazi or mean they deserve to die. She dismisses the constant use of "ist" and "phobe" suffixes as lazy arguments used by people with low intelligence—so low, she suggests, that "Forest Gump would seem like Albert Einstein" to them.
Discovering the Red Pill and Black Pill
As Anna became aware of what was happening around her, she discovered terms like "redpilled" and "blackpilled," referencing The Matrix. However, when she looked up what these terms meant, she found sources claiming that people who are redpilled or blackpilled are incels. She dismisses this as another example of the conditioning and manipulation she sees everywhere.
Conditioning for Civil Conflict
Anna shares her belief that society is being conditioned for something she compares to an event that happened a couple hundred years ago in America—the event that killed the most Americans, referencing Gettysburg. She deliberately avoids naming it directly, knowing that YouTube would flag her content for discussing civil war.
The Manson Family Parallel
She recommends a book called "Chaos" about Charles Manson and the Manson family, which details how the entire situation was allegedly a setup to manipulate people through drug experimentation. Anna draws a parallel to what she sees happening today with a particular group of children being manipulated and experimented on through the internet.
She suggests that the drugs certain demographics are using may be laced or part of an experiment by those in power. The people controlling society, she argues, are like scientists looking down on mice in a maze, watching everyone fight while steering the population toward conflict. They have become so desensitized and inhuman that they observe the chaos they create without empathy.
The Normalization of Murder
Anna identifies the most frightening development as the conditioning of people to laugh at murder and praise assassination based on political disagreement. Whether it's called black pill, red pill, or anything else, she declares herself awake to what is happening. She demands that this pattern stop and that the people orchestrating this manipulation be exposed.
A Call for Information
In an unprecedented move, Anna announces that she has opened her direct messages on Twitter for anyone with information about Kirk's assassin. She also invites anyone with information about the other issues she has discussed to reach out. She closes by repeating that she is done with the current state of affairs and can no longer remain silent.
